    Summary

    And that's how they ended up here; with Holland holding a pool stick, trying to focus on the colorful balls on the pool table and not on where Jackson was bent over said table, one hand carefully guiding the pool stick.

    or:
    remember that one tweet that went "men invented pool tables so they could watch each other bend over"? yeah...

    Summary

    It was a stupid fucking idea. That had already been established beyond reasonable doubt. However, Healy was not entirely opposed to stupid ideas, and often encouraged them, even passively, just to see what happened. That's how he ended up here, wasn't it?

    It seemed to happen in a blur. It wasn't like there was a discernible point in which he could've thrown up his hands in disgust, or exhaustion, or- or-

    “Y'like?” March was leaned up against the orange wood of his bathroom door frame, the pale backlight lighting him up like a star. “Is it convincing, at least?”

    ──

    Holland March taps into his feminine side for a case. Jackson Healy, despite himself, also really wants to tap into March's feminine side.

    Summary

    In the early afternoon, he finally hears the bedroom door click open, and footsteps padding down the hall.

    "Thank God you're finally awake," Holland says, still hunched over the paper. "Jack, baby, they got me fucking stumped, they're making up new words. What's an eight-letter synonym for life, starting with a V?"

    There's no reply. Healy can usually think of at least one thing to throw out, even if it doesn't fit. The silence goes on for a beat too long, and Holland didn't hear him move to the kitchen. He turns around —

    — and it's Healy, standing there, it's definitely Healy, but it's a Healy who looks like he's in his fucking twenties.

    His face is completely unlined — his hair is dark, not a speck of gray — and he's staring right back at Holland.

    "Um." Holland's at a complete loss. "Hi."
