Why this must be read: Mark watches the deposition videos and... reacts.

“What are you going to be doing?” Mark grumbles, because showering involves both standing up and being somewhere other than his bed, which means it is arguably the worst idea Dustin has ever had. Including the Poke feature.

“Sitting outside the door listening to make sure you don’t fall in the shower and die,” Dustin says practically. “Also, finding you something to wear that doesn’t look like you stole it from a homeless person.”

“I like this shirt,” Mark says petulantly.

“I like it too,” Dustin assures him, “when it isn’t covered in liquor stains and drool.”


They hadn’t been friends anymore, not by that point, but nobody had bothered to correct Eduardo and Mark had clung silently to the words for days afterward. Weeks—months, even. They were a tacit promise, in his mind, that Eduardo was coming back. Eduardo was hurt and angry, but somewhere deep down they were still friends and eventually he would forgive Mark and come to California and everything would be the way it should have been in the first place.

It hadn’t worked out that way, of course. In the years since the settlement, Mark has been forced to acknowledge a series of increasingly unpleasant realities.
