    Summary

    The potatoes rattled against the sides of the pot as the water began to boil. Simon adjusted the flame lower.

    It had rained for days back then. The sound of it on the hospital windows blurred into the machines beside the bed, steady and repetitive. A nurse had told him to talk. Said it helped patients in comas.

    Simon didn’t.

    Outside, the light stayed grey most of the time. Johnny didn’t open his eyes.

    Simon found himself missing the clear days with blue.

    Summary

    Robby follows him as Jack starts working on the coffee, taking a seat at the peninsula that divides the kitchen from the rest of the apartment.

    “You still like it burned or have you gotten better taste since last time?” he teases, throwing a quick glance at Robby, who makes a face at him.

    They don’t do this often, crashing at each others’ places. Jack honestly can’t remember when exactly that last time was. Close to a year, he thinks, a Pirates game with a rain delay that then went into extra innings. It’s not that they don’t hang out when their schedules allow for it, it’s just that there’s always been more of a distance in their relationship outside work, like somehow the halls (and roof) of PTMC allow for more vulnerability than the halls of their own homes.

    “At this point I'll take whatever you give me and I'll like it,” Robby says, definitely with a grimace this time.

    OR, five times Jack comes home to Robby unexpectedly at his place, plus one.
