Summary
He's frightened, Izzy realises. Genuinely afraid of Edward, of what this means, of what Ed might decide to fucking do about it. Izzy's seen him when things get the better of him - temper or melancholy or prickling unease - and it never ends well for anyone in earshot. So it's normal, in the circumstances - the fucking horrific circumstances, of fucking Ed's best mate when he knows full well how fucking weird Ed is about Izzy fucking anyone at all - to be frightened.
But that's not all it is. Izzy is also, he realises, really fucking turned on.

Summary
Jack's boxes should be unpacked, but they're not. The miscellaneous garbage bag of shit he threw the last of his belongings in after he ran out of boxes definitely shouldn't be sitting in the corner if Izzy's fucking living room, but it is. And instead of doing anything about it, Jack seems to spend at least fifty percent of his time at home standing in the kitchen, half dressed, drinking juice directly out of the carton in front of the fridge. On a good day he's wearing underwear without holes.
It gets worse over time, because at the very beginning at least he doesn't make eye contact, just grunts when Izzy flatly tells him to use a glass. Then he progresses to smirking, reaching for the glass when he sees Izzy start to open his mouth, continuing to drink from the carton once he's by himself again.
His hair is all over the shower, too. Somehow there's fucking pubes at eye level. Izzy wonders, distantly, if he's doing it on purpose. It seems like the sort of thing he'd do.

Jack moves in, and makes a move.

Summary
Swaying, Ed hop-skips up into Izzy’s space, penning him in at the counter. He’s warm as a furnace, a bit sweaty, towering over Izzy by a full head and grinning. “My Izzy,” he sing-songs. “My little grumpy fucker.”
“Edward,” Izzy says.
Ed leans in, and suddenly Izzy is —
Oh, fuck, he’s being kissed.
Before the motel, before the car, before hooking up with Jack, there was the party, and the drinking, and the noise. And, God. There was Edward.
