#this is dramatic

Would they wonder if that could’ve been them if they had given it a chance? If they put their hearts on the line instead of keeping it close to their chests?

Would Garrett think that maybe he wasn’t imagining the look in Logan’s eyes all those times when he thought Garrett couldn’t see him?

And would Logan think that maybe if he put himself first and said what he wanted that Garrett maybe would’ve said yes?

Would they think that maybe they had almost made it, made it past best friends, the person the other relied on the most, who was their other half and become all of that but also being the person they fell asleep next to each night and they would wake with the next morning? The person they would swear to love through sickness and in health, till death to they part?

Do you think wonder that maybe the wouldn’t be texting each other “dude” or “bro” but “baby” and “gorgeous”. Do you think they look at their wives and throw the box and all its feelings away into the attic? Do you think they go to sleep next to women they’re not sure they loved in anyway past platonic and try their damned hardest not to imagine what their life could’ve looked like?

his inventions and robots mean something to him—he relies on them more than he relies on people, so did tony program friday with his death in mind? how did he decide what he wanted to hear before he goes?

if he gave her the reigns, maybe friday reassured him— promised to look after everyone and made sure the various protocols he has prepared incase he dies are engaged— maybe she thanked him or maybe she said nothing because how is an ai supposed to react when the person she’s supposed to support is the one dying???
