    Summary

    He gave up on getting further, his cries sucking all his strength from him. He struggled to sit and curled up into a tight ball. He used his legs to shove himself backward until his back collided with the cold wall. Jay let the tears soak his bare knees. He let them glide down his legs and let them begin to soak his shorts.

    Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic.

    or: after a nightmare, Jay retreats to the bathrooms so no one will hear his cries. Someone hears them, and tries to help.

    Summary

    "Anyway it's extremely unfair of you to bring up anything I may–” Pippin held up one finger– “may have whinged about when I was a tween, when we are out here in the wild on a desperately serious adventure.”

    “...You are still a tween.”

    “Yes, well,” said Pippin, scrunching his nose and glancing back at where Boromir was walking behind them to see if he were paying attention. “I am still much older than I was then. And I do not whinge anymore.”

    Three overlapping voices: “Yes, you do.” “You absolutely do.” “You've just been–”

    On the long road west of Rivendell and south of the Misty Mountains, an important debate is held.

    Summary

    A strangled sound escaped him. He twisted the strands of his hair. His other hand came up and grasped his chest as he spluttered on muffled cries. Tears finally, forcefully, pushed past his closed eyes and wetted his cheek.

    He was dying. He was alive. He was something horrific and mangled in between.

    Summary

    But love didn’t scare Jay. Sure, everyone was a little scared of rejection and getting left behind, but it didn’t freak him out when they didn’t say it back because he never said it to hear it back. He said it because he felt it and wanted them to know. So he kept saying it. He kept feeling it. Even when it was hard. Even when it hurt. Even when it was a risk.

    And over the years, he learned to listen for it back in other ways.

    Summary

    “Kai,” Jay says, voice thin, unfamiliar.

    Kai just hums again, unbothered. He truly does seem so unbothered, but not numb in the way the agents at the Administration were beaten into. He's like the running air of the sweet east coast that Jay swallowed greedily upon his first escape from the stuffy desks of the Administration. He was lucky, he knew, to be a manager. He had a little more free time and his leash was longer, and his mandated area of housing was bigger than the dormitories for interns. He was lucky, he knew, but he didn't feel like he was.

    And the words he says next, he’ll blame on exhaustion, on tiredness, on isolation and the hunger that beats at him and crawls up his windpipe. “Am I too far gone?”

    In which Kai and Jay have a haircutting session.
