    Summary

    You grit your teeth and say: That's brilliant, son. About fucking time. You whistle when he admits how much he got for the advance, all shy. Thank him for coming, ask for updates on your mother's condition, ask after Lori. You stumble back to your cell and fall into your cot with a huff. You wasted another visit being mad. Now there was no more Niall ‘til next month.

    You know you should be happy for your brother. Up until now he couldn't help but be a fuck up, could he? You’re both more similar in that regard than you'd like to believe. Unlike him, though, you usually manage to build things up a little before they completely collapse.

    After a visit from Niall, Ruben has some time to think about the past.

    Summary

    It may well be that the last thing Niall needs is to be engaging young men he knows to have been once resident at Polmont in conversations in underpasses.

    Never could leave well enough alone though, as his mum likes to remind him.

    Summary

    “What? Are you scared of me or something?”

    Niall can’t help but look up, then. The tears are gone, replaced by pure incredulity. Ruben had just gone there, brought up one of those weird, unspoken topics they weren’t ever meant to broach - like Ruben’s father, or the time Niall had cum inside a woman whilst Ruben pressed a hand to his chest, whilst they’d stared into each other’s eyes.

    Of course he was scared of Ruben. It was like asking if the sky was blue. Were they supposed to acknowledge it? Niall had never thought that was part of the agreement.

    Or: after Alby, Niall's not been visiting. Ruben's not happy about it.

    Summary

    “Dressing gown?” Niall repeats.

    He can play dumb. Put enough disbelief in his tone and Ruben should buy it. He has to.
