Summary: Raige and Biff talk about feelings. It goes about as well as you’d expect.
Notes: This story takes place directly after Six Weeks to Recovery, and you really should read that first before taking this on.


Raige is looking around the apartment. Normally, Biff’s hackles would raise—his place is a shithole, but dammit, it’s his shithole—but it’s not like an inspection, it’s like he’s looking for something. Biff jerks his chin at him, but Raige apparently doesn’t get it, so he asks, “What you looking for?”

Even though he keeps his voice down, M.D. stirs and mumbles from her spot on the couch. Biff gestures to the fire escape, and they go outside and shut the window. It’s not much, but at least they can talk without waking her. The faintest hints of pre-dawn gray are starting to show.

“A blanket,” Raige answers.

“Don’t bother. She’ll wake up.”

“Yeah, well, I have to do something,” Raige sounds like he’s on the verge of tears. “My best friend is stitched up and sleeping on your couch and I’m kind of freaked out about that okay?”
