wip wednesday!!
i made it!! it's been such a crazy last few weeks but here i am :) huge thanks to @paperstorm @carlos-in-glasses @sznofthesticks @strandnreyes @welcometololaland @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut and @heartstringsduet for the tags!
“Good,” Carlos says. “Good. What about you, TK? Are you hurt?”
TK, who calls him Baby and Cuteness, who brushes the matted curls off of Carlos’s sweaty forehead while he cooks. He looks up at the barrel of Carlos’s gun like a cornered animal.
“Hangin’ in there,” he rasps, puffing out his pink cheeks. The strain in his voice pulls a string somewhere deep in Carlos.
This is how he’s come to see his husband— the kitten hanging from a tree branch, framed in a hospital waiting room. Soft-skinned and delicate, his tender flesh easily bruised. TK demands a gentle touch, he should come with a HANDLE WITH CARE sign hanging around his neck. Carlos knows, probably, this is all his own projection. But it doesn’t change the anger he feels at Dennis Pill for roughing TK up, for touching him with unwashed hands.
The radio on Carlos’s chest crackles, an onslaught of voices squeezing through.
Detective Washington says: “Reyes, listen to me very carefully…”
Captain Kendricks says: “Officer, if you care one lick about your job…”
Captain Strand says: “Son, it’s Owen. Look, I don’t know what the hell you think you’re doing in there, but I trust you. I just need you to promise me that you’ll be careful, alright? That’s my son in there.”
sorry i've been so absent lately!! just tagging @reyesstrand since everybody else already got to me
