Summary
"There’s something different in the way he meets her gaze tonight, the way he almost shrugs, bares the throat of his ego. It’s just close enough to ‘please’ for her and her mouth twitches wryly: he needs her.
So she opens her door all the way, not caring that the alarm bells in her head are going off. It doesn’t matter. Not when every cell of her body is buzzing with victory."
The end of "Guts", episode 2, season 3, and what happens after the door shuts...

Summary
There were some things he might never be able to give. Guarantees of a long future, assurances they’d always be together, work together. But there was one thing he could do, a cautious step towards the happy ending he suddenly, most definitely wanted.

Summary
Ethan's never really had a problem with compartmentalizing. He's always been good at storing emotions and feelings away for later, to look through when he can, and he does the same for experiences, good or bad. He's always been able to shut away the worst parts of the life that he's chosen for himself, the one he keeps choosing for himself.
So the PTSD is a bit of a surprise, really. Still, he can deal with it. He'll manage, like he always has. What he can't deal with is knowing how it affects Will, the distress and anxiety Will has to deal with on his behalf. And he knows that shutting himself off from Will in order to protect him from all of it is a bad idea, and it will come back to bite him in the ass, but he can't help himself.
After all, if he hadn't failed at protecting Will before, none of this would have happened anyway.

Summary
After their meeting on the pier in Seattle, the team goes their separate ways. But Ghost Protocol left the IMF in turmoil, so Will, Ethan, Jane, and Benji team up to take on the Syndicate, a mysterious and widespread criminal organization. Will has to adjust to being a field agent again, and learn how to work with his team when the world isn’t on the line -- all while dealing with attack cheetahs, unexpected amnesia, train robbery, master thieves, and more.
Falling in love was not part of his scenario.

Summary
He’s long since waved the white flag, surrendered himself to a love that time won’t dim, won’t quench. It’s not so bad most of the time but right now, drawing the blanket that little bit tighter around his shoulders, Benji feels unthinkably lonely.
It’s still the same, miserably empty apartment and the newspaper on the coffee table dates back a couple of weeks.
