   Summary

   Boss and Eugene-centric fic where Eugene is lost after the collapse of the station so he decides to flee from the ugly memories, (and the person he hates the most decides to tag along.)

   Or

   CIU but what if Boss and Eugene had just a little more time with each other after the truth came out.
