    Summary

    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    Arthur Morgan is furiously, foolishly in love with his dearest friend. But is it really possible that Charles Smith loves him back? (Yes. Yes it is.)

    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    Charles parts his lips just a moment and Arthur goes limp. It ain't right. Charles ain’t kissing back. Arthur opens his eyes and Charles’ are blown wide. His lips ain’t parted in invitation, but surprise. Arthur’s an idiot. Got this all wrong.

    “Forgive me.”

    Charles is looking at Arthur, taking in his pale pink face and his petal thin skin. The dark circles around his bloodshot eyes. Charles huffs softly, and his lips pick up in the most infinitesimal smile. His gaze drops to Arthur’s lips.

    He’s gonna kiss me.
    “No.” Arthur jerks away. Not like this.

    Charles pities him. Gonna give him what he wants because he’s a damned man. Give a dying man an IOU; he ain’t gonna ever collect. But Arthur ain’t dead yet. He’d have to live knowing he weren’t really wanted. Loved, sure, but not the way Arthur aches to be loved.

    Just once in his life.

    Summary

    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    Sean tells Arthur a secret about Charles Smith. One that's gonna make Arthur lose his damn mind.

    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    "Arthur, I ain’t—”
    “You ain’t queer, Charles, so you've said... But I am.”
    “No, you’re not,” he says, but his eyes rake Arthur head to toe. “You are not.”
    “Assure you that I am.” Arthur can’t make himself clearer.
    “Prove it."
    The world stops. Right there.
    “How exactly would you like me to prove it?” Want slips into Arthur’s voice, greed, he can’t help it. He doesn’t want to help it. “Can you think of a way?”
    Charles’ eyes widen and in an instant, any fear vacates his face, replaced with something Arthur recognises immediately, knows by instinct. Jesus, he can’t hardly believe his eyes.
    Desire.
    Arthur don’t need more invitation than that to sink to his knees.

    Summary

    Charles opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn’t figure out what to say. I’ll miss you? I love you? It’s going to tear me apart to know I'll never see you again? But Arthur knew all of that, and they were still saying goodbye anyway. He settled for "be careful," which put all of his thoughts into a two word package.

    Despite his best efforts, life back in L.A. isn't going as well as Jason had hoped. His relationships are failing, trouble has a way of finding him, and maybe Jason isn't putting up as much of a fight as he should.

    Meanwhile a new giant rises in Rook Islands, and Vaas finds himself not to be as dead as he'd thought.
