    Summary

    “I didn’t say I minded, uh, sharing a bed with you.” Robby scratches at his beard and tries not to look at Jack. It’s hard because Jack isn’t even looking at the road; he’s smiling sideways at him.

    “Don’t worry. I don’t kick.”

    “I think the phrase is ‘I don’t bite’.”

    Jack’s grin widens.

    “That’s the problem. I do bite.”

    Robby fears his recovery is going to feel very long.

    The time Jack learns he's Robby's emergency contact through an unexpected appendectomy.

    Summary

    “What are you even painting?” Steve questions, unable to keep himself from asking. Eddie hadn’t told him his plan when he’d first laid Steve out and gathered his brushes — just instructed Steve to stay still and let him paint, he’d see soon enough. But Steve is curious, and it’s been almost an hour now.

    Steve carefully tips his head to the side and presses his cheek against his folded arms, trying his best to catch a glimpse of Eddie where he sits atop the backs of Steve’s thighs, bent over his canvas in concentration. His tongue pokes out of the corner of his mouth, like it always does when he’s focusing hard enough, and a piece of hair dangles against his cheek, escaping the bandana he’d tied it back with.

    “I’m painting an essence,” Eddie answers cryptically, and he draws the brush in a broad stroke, low on Steve’s back.

    “An essence?” Steve repeats. “An essence of what?”

    “An essence of you,” Eddie says simply. The brush dots Steve’s upper back now, light little taps.

    Steve doesn’t know what that means, but he’s looking forward to finding out.

    “Hold on,” Robin interrupts. “Hold on, is this— are you, like. Do you know what masochism is?”

    “I know I act like it sometimes, Robin, but I’m not actually fucking twelve,” Steve says.

    OR: Eddie has a black hanky in his back pocket.

    “Go to art school, they said,” Keith grumbles, shivering against the cold as he struggles to get through the revolving door with his portfolio, pad and backpack. “It’ll be fun, they said.”
