    Summary

    “These things are going to keep popping up now, aren’t they?” Jon says quietly. “Now that we’ve worked through the big stuff.”

    Martin nods, and inhales shakily.

    “They should. Like you said, we – we can’t pretend that the past didn’t happen. We shouldn’t, that’s not fair to – not fair to the things we left behind.”

    ***

    Melanie overhears Martin accidentally hit Jon, and apologise that he didn't mean it "this time." She feels this is something that needs addressing.

    Summary

    “Made a new friend?”

    “Or they've made me into a chair. Either is fine.” Jon chuffs, leaning back a little to give Martin more room to see the grey ball of fluff. “They're friendly, at least.”

    Summary

    “The things Jon said about you,” Georgie said, pausing. She was unsure if telling Martin that Jon, or at least the Jonathan Sims of a year and a half ago, had seemed to be madly in love with him was the best move to make. “They were good.”

    Martin blinked at her wordlessly. Georgie could tell he was trying desperately hard not to hope, she could see the struggle in the way his hand clenched around the tape recorder, in the way the hazy air buzzed and danced around him.

    Before Georgie could change her mind, she said, “It helped him, talking about you.”

    Or, that conversation from MAG 149 goes a bit differently, Georgie finds someone to eat Hungarian food with, and Martin, against his better judgement, makes a friend.

    Summary

    Martin doesn't do well with yelling.

    It makes him freeze, sets his spine alight with a buzzing that he just can’t seem to be rid of. Even after the voices have quieted and there are no more bullets hanging in the air, it runs through him like an aftershock. Something about it always feels like a dam breaking, water flooding over him and swallowing him whole, drowning him completely.

    He doesn’t do well with it, at all.

    Hatred, he can manage just fine - that mundane, muted disdain.
    Being looked at with contempt feels like home. Hell, so long as it doesn’t get loud, it even feels comfortable.
    Maybe that’s part of why he…likes Jon so much.

     

    (An examination of Martin's feelings on love and what one must do to deserve it)

    Summary

    The response that finally filtered in, when the whirls of color and voices died down, wasn’t relief.
    It wasn't happiness.
    It wasn’t even fear.

    It took him a long minute to place it, his eyes hovering, unfocused, on a crack in the wood paneling in a way that made his head ache the longer he stared, but it finally pinned itself down into one writhing, simple word.

    Anger.
    Then - desperation.
    An itch, a need, to go back.
