    Summary

    “It feels like we should be saying hello.”

    Martin waves. “Hi. Nice to meet you. Thanks for, um, saving me from a force of unknowable evil.”

    Jon lifts his head to look at Martin. He drinks him in. It hurts, because it feels impossible. He is realizing more with each second how bad he wants for this to be real: Martin’s faded green coat, the little mole under his left eye, his windswept hair. After more than a year of absence, of heads down in the corridors, tense exchanges where too much was said in nothing, this is like the first day after a famine.

    “Hello, Martin.” Jon exhales a breath he hadn’t known he was holding. “It’s good to see you again.”

    Summary

    They’re standing entirely too close to each other in front of the hotel desk when the clerk asks them whether they’d like a double, twin, or two singles, and Martin absolutely bottles it.

    ‘Uh,’ he says, at exactly the same time as Jon says, ‘Oh.’

    ———

    There’s a conversation that Martin and Jon need to have after the Lonely. Unfortunately, they are - historically - fairly terrible at putting stuff into words.

    Summary

    The agony of having a crush: Jon is one specific person, but really, he could be anyone.

    Or, he could have been anyone, until the day he walks into the cafe carrying a porcelain clown doll, because Martin is dead certain that that is not something anyone else has ever, will ever, could ever do.
