"You do things for me all the time. You drive me home. You bring me food when I forget to eat. You listen to me ramble day after day—"
"As I've said, it's my job."
"It's your job to buy me an unreasonable amount of candy with taxpayer money?"
Carl snorted softly but declined to comment.
A smile tugged at the corner of Ryland's mouth.
"I just want to do something for you for once. Is that really so terrible?"Or: Ryland is determined to do something nice for Carl, but Carl would much rather stay in control.
Who gives in first?
Spoiler: not Ryland. -

Summary
// NOW COMPLETE!
Ryland Grace is supposed to help save humanity.
Carl’s job is to make sure nothing compromises that mission.
But somewhere between hardware store shenanigans and long hours in the lab, duty gives way to trust, trust gives way to want, and both men are left facing the truth of what’s been building between them.// Note about the rating:
This fic contains explicit sex scenes, but they’re not the main focus. If you’re not into reading smut, you still can absolutely enjoy this story and simply skip those parts. Sexual content appears only toward the end of chapters 3, 4, and 5. You can safely read up to that point in each chapter and then jump to the beginning of the next chapter.This also works the other way around — if you’re here for just the smut and don't care much about the emotional buildup or aftermath, you can go straight to chapters 3, 4, and 5 (and scroll to the bottom).
I think the fic works best as a whole, but I understand everyone has different preferences :)
