    Summary

    There are no windows in the Skydome’s cramped detention room so nobody gets the moment that Jay’s nose starts bleeding, dripping heavily into his lap. His hands are still cuffed behind his back. He tries to wipe the blood off on his shoulder and succeeds in smearing it across his lips, over his left cheek. It keeps dripping like a leaky faucet.

    Summary

    “I met a dental hygienist that was wearing a dog collar when we first got here, we danced and then he gave me a mint from a little baggy. It made sense that he’d carry those around, but then…” He just shrugs.
    “Oh, Birdie,” He laughs, but it’s desperate, like a cry for help from the bottom of a well. “Was it - minty?” His voice sounds three octaves too high.
    “I couldn’t tell. It’s so loud in here.”

    ---

    Matt and Jay plan to enthrall the Rivoli’s new booking agent at a gay club. Jay accidentally takes ecstasy thinking it's a breath mint, and Matt is subjected to torments previously unique to the trenches of WWI. It's going to be a long, long night.

    Okay. Fine. Whatever. He's going to get it over with. Jay's going to kiss him. He's going to kiss Matt. Honestly, it'll probably be really normal. Or like, just kind of gross, because Matt is kind of gross. They did everything together. He had only been nervous earlier because it was going to be so public. His heart was only hammering because he'd just been running for like fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes is a long time for someone to run continuously.

    oh my god Jay get up GET UP!

    Summary

    Two key truths had remained constant for Jay McCarrol since his childhood: one, Matt was always there; and two, Jay had no real sense of direction in his life.

    On the rare occasions in which he had allowed himself to reflect on it, Jay had always ended up reaching the same conclusion: a change in number one must be the key to changing number two.

    After experiencing a timeline without Matt at his side and making the decision to go back to set things right, though, Jay realizes how much he values the life that they have together, and it finally occurs to him that maybe the purpose that he’s been searching for his whole life has been right there in front of him the entire time.

     

    Or, Jay decides to propose to Matt.

    Summary

    It’s taking longer than Jay thought it would to get back on his feet. 

    He can’t afford his own place, so he’s still living with Matt. They move through each other’s lives like the other is invisible. Or, at least, that’s true of Jay. Matt keeps doing things for him that Jay would tell him to stop doing if he could see him. Jay wakes up and finds his water bottle full, finds breakfast on the kitchen counter with a fork and knife on a napkin alongside it, finds his bed made and his laundry done. These are, maybe importantly, things that Matt has never done for him before. And still.
