Work Text:
Jamie's swinging between daydreams and dread.
Roy? Roy’s driving.
It’s very quiet.
‘So…’ They’re already halfway there.
‘Needed to see you.’ Gruff.
‘Yeah?’
‘What was that about?’ Roy’s eyes stay on the road. ‘Did you mean it?’
‘Yeah.’
‘How long—?’
Jamie's queasy with anxiety. ‘A while.’
It's only after pulling into park at Nelson Road that Roy finally turns. ‘I.’
He looks so—
Jamie wants—
‘I didn't know,’ Roy says. ‘But I liked it.’

Best.
Day.
Ever.
Roy touches Jamie’s wrist, briefly, once. ‘Talk after training?’
‘Sound.’
Jamie’s mouth’s grinning. His eyes are grinning. His elbows, shoulderblades, kneecaps: fucking grinning.
