The first time, Jacen responds before Oli can even make the request. Mostly because his eyes were asking for it and Oli didn’t look like a single person had offered him a chance to be at ease before.
“Yes I’m sure,” Jacen says, without hesitation to the man he’d met just the day before. “I’d rather take the five minutes out of my day than have you break out the window or have your five year olds abandoned at school.”
2.
Jacen hates the song on the radio. Honestly, he hates it, it was the song going off on the radio when Nicole finally decided she couldn’t simply bear through their relationship anymore. Both of them had bigger fish to fry than the God damn stereo, and so the chorus of the song was the only thing he could hear as he sat on the sofa with his head in his hands and she was in their bedroom, stripping it of all traces of her.
He’s been avoiding the song for years. But as the train before them barrels by, each clattering track etching more and more discomfort into Oli’s handsome-very handsome features-Jacen doesn’t think twice before turning the volume as high as it’ll go.
3.
Jacen’s been waiting for the text message for weeks. He’s glanced at his phone while driving the rig, he’s glanced at it while resting in the break room, he’s glanced at it walking to his bike in the morning.
And then a month and a half later, Yeah, dinner sounds good.
Jacen’s never smiled so hard in the presence of severed limbs and a busted sewer main.
4.
Jacen’s been standing very still for a very long time. People have come and go from beside him, leaning against the brick wall as well, to stress smoke their doctorly troubles away. But Jacen doesn’t smoke and Jacen doesn’t drink, so he lets the cold air on his bare forearms be a vice instead.
He calls on impulse, not realizing that the chill was bothering him till he hears the warmth in Oli’s “hello” alone.
5.
“Was that ok?” Jacen breathes, just a little shaky even though Oli’s lips had pressed, rather firmly back to his just a moment earlier. Jacen’s mind has never felt more at ease than it does in that moment, standing so close to Oli because they had abandoned their coats, dinner reservations and table all in the restaurant behind them.
And the way Oli smiles at him in response is enough to let Jacen know that his palms will never be cold in the middle of the night again-at least not from his chest feeling hollow as it had for a long time.

“I wish I’d met Oli a little sooner. A lot sooner.”
L- Longest friendship?
“My buddy, Cole’s been around since our sophmore year of high school. He was actually Nicky’s roommate’s boyfriend and we saw each other in passing here and there but I didn’t actually get to know him till we both joined the volunteer campus EMT program in our junior year. We decided to do the rest together after that cause, you know, it never hurt to stick together. He’s cool, I love the guy.”
I - Icecream flavour?
“Vanilla’s good. I don’t even remember what ice cream tastes like anymore though because the kids usually get to it before I can even get a lick. If it isn’t them then it’s Oli. To put it simply, by the time I get home from work all the comfort food in the house is gone.”
V - Very best friend?
“Same guy I decided I want to spend the rest of my life with,” he looks away and grins wide, feeling a little cheesy but also content for being truthful.
E - Easiest person to talk to?
“The kids,” he laughs. “My biggest epiphanies have from having one of them yell things at me while I explain my problems to them. And when I say kids that includes Dennis too. On the scale, if Dennis tells me to fuck off or asks me why I’m talking to him after I tell him what’s up then it probably means that whatever’s on my plate can be dealt with if I just shut up and think it through. I figure if the problem is daunting enough to startle him into talking to me then I’ve got something real on my hands.”
R - Reason to smile?
“Life. It’s beautiful, you know? I have a lot to smile about. My kids, my boyfriend, my house, my bike, my job, my friends. There’s a lot. I spent a lot of time laying on the floor crying about things before but there’s honestly a lot of things to be smiling about, being who I am.I smile about the C in my name sometimes too.”
there was no proper way tyo sya goodye in a siaution like this. jacen didnt know how t o sya im sorry i have to go and i love you more than i knew i was capable of at the sma etime. and he defintiely knew that he coudlnt cram it all into the hafl hour he'd be given to say his goodbyes right before he got on that plane in two weeks.
so he worked on it. he made saying goodbye a process. one night he'd make dinner (or at leats tyr to cook only to give up and order in. it was dinne runder a candle light and oli laughed about it so jacen woudl call that a win.) and the next ngiht hed make love to oli like he'd never see the man again-and pershaps he woudlnt. there was some truth to the feeling s he put behind his movement.
the night after he'd simply hold oli at ngiht, their fingers clapsed together, but both quite awake, becuase they were both most relaxed when theywere togeher. small talk, wasnt something their relaitonshop needed so far in btu in those moments, facing oli and asking 'how was your day?" means the world. and thefollwoign ngiht jacen woudl offer to watch the stars fomr the roof after the kids went to bed, even fi they both worke din th e mornign.
sayign goodbye was a process, and jacne made sur eto cling almost desperately to every last second of it.
which one hogs the blanket: Jacen lol he's a cuddle bug. He loves being warm and cozy so much that he'll be wrappped up in a blanket and still try to get under Oli's arm.
which one cuts the other’s hair: We'll leave that to Oli, who has experience with kids and subsequently hair cutting also.
which one makes coffee for the other every morning: Depends on who's up earlier, which is usually Jacen because he like starting his shifts early but on the days that Oli tries to make it home before the kids wake up, Oli probs leaves a bit in the pot for Jacen when he finally wakes up.
which one picks up the pizza: Rock paper scissor over it lol
which one likes their music on full volume: Jacen likes his music loud. It's a force of habit because he and his crew like keeping the music in the ambulance super loud when it's empty.
which one complains about the crumbs on the bed: Jacen and his neat freak self lol
which one is ticklish: Jacen is dead on the inside and not ticklish at all omg so unless Oli is, then neither thEY'RE BOTH DEAD ON THE INSIDE.
which one sings and which one plays the music: o L I VER S INGS -PUKES
which one proposes: Technically Oli, but formally Jace. Well his proposal isn'y even formal omg. They're a mess don't look at them.
