    Summary

    The bathroom is anything but silent with his music still playing and the water still going, but it’s like Zanka has gone deaf with how quiet his head is. There’s only one thing on his mind.

    It should be him. It will be him. Zanka has worked too hard, gone too far, for Jabber to put another barrier between them. Zanka can accept that he’s smarter than him. Stronger than him. Better than him. But he won’t accept him acting like they’re not meant to be. Like they don’t need each other.

    The water stops at the same time his speaker dies, leaving Zanka in an almost opaque silence as he dries off.

    Zanka will have Jabber. Whether Jabber likes it or not.

     

    Or; Zanka needs Jabber. Jabber needs Zanka, even if he's acting like he doesn't. That's okay. He'll learn.

    Summary

    “I thought you knew me, Zan-chan.” Jabber swallowed, pulling away, Adam’s Apple bobbing as he took in the taste of Zanka’s and his shared saliva. “You know I hate small-talk. So why do you keep running away from it? C’mon, Mr. Bad Attitude, just let your boy take care of you.”

    Zanka glared, though it wasn’t much of anything. “. . . Shut your trap, fuckin’ shithead.”

    “O-ho? This one’s got teeth.” The Raider jeered to himself, dragging a ringed-finger up and along his lover’s chest. He enjoyed the way Zanka shuddered, his body still taking in the full effect of the drug. “You don’t like how my latest poison tastes?”

    Or, Jabber uses an aphrodisiac on Zanka.

    Summary

    Zanka knew that carrying out a relationship with a Raider as a Cleaner would be complicated. He knew he'd have to be careful. More than careful. He'd have to be perfect- no matter what, no one could find out about the truth. Not when he knew what the consequences would be.

    Naturally, he slips up anyways, accidentally mentioning Jabber's name at HQ, and it’s all over.

    Except its not. Because there's good news and bad news.

    The good news was that Zanka hadn't actually said Jabber's name. Instead, he'd said a nickname. A nickname that nobody knew referred to Jabber.

    The bad news was that now all the Cleaners thought that Zanka had a girlfriend named Abby, and if he wanted to keep his job, his family, and his relationship with Jabber, he was going to have to keep up the charade.

    What could go wrong?

    (Spoiler Alert: Everything. Everything goes wrong.)
