"No, like- for a few weeks, left. Me."

He says, voice a little more tight.

"J says he'll work on it. Radio silence from Fives."

"I'm into team sports."

He says, crumpling, face hiding in his hair, heart suddenly in his throat.

He shakes his head, no, and then decides to anyways, letting him known in a whisper;

"We argued. I said some stuff there's no taking back. They're deciding what to do, I guess. I just- how did I come out of this hating myself, you know? How?"

Holding on tighter.

"J's all in. I mean, he's moved out, but he still wants to see me. It's just- Fives."

Voice breaking, before he decides;

"I don't think I can talk about this. Can we just- you don't have a tv, do you? Did we get you a tv?"

"I like your duvet," says Quentin, not out of desperation this time but as a soft, vaguely damp joke.

They've been here before. Funny to be choosing to come back.

"My partner murdering you and me losing the moral highground, or this chandelier?"

Asks Quentin, from an obedient sprawl on his back, blinking at the lights overhead.

"I think the chandelier is- kind of okay?"

He throws an arm over his eyes, and breathes all the way out.

"Have you been in touch with Jedao at all?"

He hesitates a moment, then listens, rolling onto his side and tucking his forehead to Rhys's shoulders, hitching up into a fetal position and pressing his knees against his side.

"I admire that you never say quite what you're supposed to."

"When he loves you enough to protect you it isn't like that. He's so careful. He remembers- the littlest things I've told him upset me, the things I've asked for other times I've been in trouble."

He explains, softly.

"I say this so you know I'm not in trouble." Shifting closer, into that grip. "But I also agree that you are a big deal."

"I think the thing that gets me is how fast it all fell apart."

Says Quentin, reaching out and curling a hand around the edge of Rhys's jacket.

"A couple of days ago I was carefully planning a Christmas dinner. So they'd have the sense of the traditions when I went back there with them. We had a bunch of friends coming- people who I don't know if they're speaking to him right now."
