    Summary

    It’s funny, really, how little they talk. What is there to talk about? They were completely different people back when all George’s face inspired in Max was annoyance, that hasn’t suddenly changed just because he’s a little fonder of him now.

    When Max brings up video games or his plans to go play darts with friends, George hums along and pretends to care. Max can’t muster up the same pretense when George talks about padel or whatever gossip his girlfriends have fed him at brunch so instead he busies himself with tracing the shape of his lips with his eyes, imagining them swollen and wrapped around him.

    More relationships would last longer if people just ignored each other’s personalities and focused on sex, Max thinks.

    Summary

    "What don't I understand?" Max asks.

    George lets out a long breath.

    Then he looks at Max as though he's about to reveal the most closely guarded secret in the world. He lifts his other hand and cups Max's face, squishing his cheeks slightly between his palms. With his right thumb, he gently brushes the skin beneath Max's eye.

    Then he leans in conspiratorially and whispers:

    "I need to trick the Universe."

    or

    After a string of setbacks, George experiences a relapse of his obsessive-compulsive disorder. Max really wishes he'd known about George's diagnosis before listening to all of that.

    Summary

    The blood he coughs onto the pavement is coppery, coating the inside of his mouth. He brings a gloved hand up to wipe it, but it doesn’t do much. Just smears it over his lips like a dumbass.

    He almost feels like laughing. He’d like to say he’s been through worse, but the reality is after all these years of fighting, this is the one problem he can’t solve with a gun.

    Summary

    These are things Max can still tell about George, like how he’s lost weight because his agency is a fucking prison and Max is no longer there to tell them to fuck off. Or how despite his tailored suits and white teeth, George is a needy loser who cries too easily and likes picking fights with Max despite it.

    The world doesn’t know anything about George, not like Max does.

    Summary

    “George is not my boyfriend,” Max responds automatically. Then, “he’s mad at me again.”

    “What did you do?”

    “Nothing. He’s always mad at me.”

    No one bats an eye at them, not really. It’s an open secret around the paddock that they sometimes fuck when they’re not fighting and sometimes when they are fighting. It’s stress-relief, sex you don’t need to sign an NDA for. It works even if George causes him more stress than he relieves. At least he’s quiet with a dick in his mouth. Sometimes.
