Summary
“I do not understand,” I say, anger flaring in me suddenly. “What do you want from me?”
“I want you to look at me. I—” His voice breaks, just barely. He clears his throat and looks at me straight. Brave. “I want you to look at me,”
My anger falters.
“All my life,” he chokes, looking at me helplessly. “That’s all I’ve wanted. But you have never. I cannot stand to see you with Tarsem or Ìpxea, or whoever else. I cannot stand it; I am selfish. I want to be awful to them.” He laughs, without humor, and looks down at his feet. “I thought I could just stay away. But then you almost die taking a bullet for us!”
I stare at him helplessly, my heart its own creature in my chest.
---Jun is many things: an orphaned boy, a capable hunter, a fine warrior. And, apparently, the sole object of Neteyam’s desires.

Summary
When he finds the courage to leave the comfort of her steam shrouded bathroom, he makes his way out to the living room.
He stops in his tracks when he hears her, a fond smile etching onto his face.
He’s careful to disguise his footsteps on the vinyl floor, not wanting her to stop. He was rapidly beginning to realize he could listen to her sing forever.
She flits around the kitchen, alternating between humming and singing along to whatever music played in her ear, and all Frank can do is watch.
“Oh!” She says with a jolt when she finally notices him, “Frank! How are you feeling? I made spaghetti…spaghetti’s okay, right?”
“Yeah.” He nodded, “Yeah, spaghetti’s okay.”
She shuffles out of the kitchen a few moments later with two bowls in tow, “We can sit at the table, the couch…whatever you’re most comfortable with. If you want we can put something on the TV, that’s what Becca usually likes to do…”
“I like when you sing.” He can’t stop the words from coming, and he doesn’t regret them one bit when he watches her face change shades if only slightly.
“Oh.”

And then I realize you’ve been standing there a while, wearing nothing but your love (and I got nothing on my mind but love) by whalesharkes

Summary
“I care about this conversation very much.” Samira tells him awkwardly, speaking low so no one else overhears them. Jack nods, like he expected as much. “But I’m catastrophizing this in my head already, so maybe you should leave and end it here and we’ll pick it back up when we’re not at work.”
Samira can see the laugh Jack suppresses at her admission. The amusement he’s sourcing from her right now isn’t cruel or belittling, he’s just— he likes her, he likes her quirks and neuroses, he likes when she tells him to get lost while they’re at work, he likes when she’s honest with him about what she’s thinking and what she needs from him.
She makes him happy, if she can believe it, by just being herself.
“I look forward to when we’re not at work, Dr. Mohan.” Jack tells her with a barely there smirk, taking a step back from her and composing himself to leave her side.

Summary
He buries his face in her lap, probably burning the soft, sensitive skin of her thigh with his five-o’-clock shadow. It's not enough. He needs to crawl inside her. Nap under a canopy of her ribs. He wraps his arm wholly around her. “Fucking love you,” he mumbles.
She plays with his hair in the early morning quiet. It's pensive, the way she scrapes her nails along his scalp.
“Why are you being like this?” she eventually asks.
“I'm always like this.” He's fucking nice. To her, anyway.

They both have scars from bullets. They both hate the explosions of Fourth of July. They deal with it differently. They deal with it together.
