    Summary

    "Don't fucking tempt me. I've choked men for less." Despite his choice of words there was no actual bite in his tone of voice. A dash of suggestion perhaps. One that was met with a surprised whistle from Noel.

     

    "Was that an invitation, darlin'?"

    -

    Two private investigators and a detective walk into a bar. Drunk shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    Mid-afternoon commuters pass by without a second look as he continues to slow, the ache in his legs growing stronger and stronger, and his right ankle twinges and threatens to roll beneath each step.

    No…no, he refuses to collapse. Damn John for thinking he can't do this. It's a trip to the goddamn store. He can make it. It's only two more blocks. He doesn't let himself think about the walk back; he just needs to get inside and hold onto a shelf for a moment to catch his breath.

    Summary

    “No, it’s not that,” John cuts him off. “Or– well. Not just that. You’ve been acting strangely all this week.”

    “‘Strangely,’” Arthur repeats, with no small amount of disdain.

    “...Distant, Arthur. Distracted.”

    -

    The first sign is when Arthur falls asleep mid-conversation.

    Summary

    Arthur has always considered dreams to be unremarkable: a simple reflection of his own thoughts and feelings. They are indecipherable, unconnected to reality, and largely meaningless.

    But continuously, Arthur dreams of John.
