    Summary

    If he had to describe himself, Flambae would need three words, and three words alone:

    Hot, strong, heroic. Two of these were objective.

    If he had to tell the truth?

    Chad exists in pieces. Most of them not good. But trying their best not to be worse.

    They certainly wouldn’t be good enough for Mecha Man.

    Which makes every news outlet in Torrance deciding he and Robert must be fucking all that more confusing.

    Or,

    Everyone in Torrance thinks Flambae and Mecha Man are dating. Robert has no issues with that.

    Summary

    “One of these days I’m gonna burn that smug fucking look right off your face.”

    Robert could reply with snark, a well-timed retort. He had it loaded.

    Instead, he stares.

    Like the way you're supposed to stare at the sun when it hates you, and you love it anyway.

    “God, you're beautiful.”

    Flambae arched a brow. “Yeah? I fucking know. Mirrors exist. But thanks.”

    Or,

    Robert is in love with SDN’s resident flaming asshole.

    Unfortunately, the flaming asshole is the only one who doesn't know.

    Summary

    When Sonar stumbles through the front door, Malevola, in a baggy band t-shirt and shorts, looks up from where she’s curled on the sofa, one leg up and hellfire sword resting on her thighs, to take in the absolute sight that her hybrid roommate is.

    “Holy shit, babes,” She gives him a once-over, eyebrows raising slowly, “Who ran you over with a semi?”
    ~~~
    Sonar has a . . . less than ideal evening shift and feels like he's fraying at the edges. Malevola knows the feeling all too well and helps him get through the extra difficult parts of the night. Sonar has never been more grateful to have a friend like her.

    Summary

    “Stop being a fucking idiot normie and work out properly.”

    “I do. This,” He gestures vaguely at himself, “is entirely different.”

    “How?” Flambae seems almost incredulous that Robert could possibly be hurt outside of his overconfidence in the gym.

    “It’s always there, it just flares up every few days. I can manage it.”

    Flambae puts his food down, the lightest trail of steam rising from it. “So, chronic.”

    “Sure.” Robert deadpans. “Considering the shitshow that is my life, I wouldn’t put it past me.”

    “And, what, you’re doing nothing about it?” Flambae presses with a glare, and Robert raises an eyebrow at his tone. Is that. . concern? Huh.

    ~~~

    Robert's chronic pain is flaring up more often as the weather starts getting cooler. While juggling weeks mixed with dispatching and field work, now that he's Mecha Man again, it's proving to be pretty difficult to ignore.

    However, a certain flaming asshole starts taking notice. His favors start to make Robert realize something and also force the two of them to confront the history that haunts them both before whatever this is starts to become an option.

    Summary

    Flambae takes a bullet for Robert.
    He lives to regret it, un-regret it, and regret it again in a different font.
