Summary
He bent down and began soaking up the tea, gathering the pieces of the shattered mug into a little pile as he went.
When he soaked up all the liquid, he tossed the towel into the sink and dropped down beside the pile.
He could fix this. He could.
He sifted through the jagged edges until he found two that looked like they went together, the edges and colors matching. But when he held them together, they didn’t fit quite right. It was as if pieces even smaller had broken off so they couldn’t go together again, and Kevin sifted through the pile for them, but they were so minuscule he couldn’t tell which they were or if they were even in the pile at all.
His eyes heated, and his throat felt tight as he set the pieces down and picked up two others, trying to make them fit again. But it was the same problem, over and over and over, until tears were rolling down his cheeks.
It was stupid to cry over a broken cup, but –
He grabbed a piece, turning it over in his hand, a little Ferris wheel car visible.
It was the first trip he and Jean had ever taken together outside of games.

Or, Kevin does something that triggers Jean and spirals into self-loathing.

Summary
"Kevin looks up at Jean with wide, wet eyes, and Jean can almost see the red and gold of their lovingly decorated apartment morph to funeral black in Kevin's mind. He is a million miles away from the present, back in Riko's room, and Jean and Jeremy were his only lifeline both here and there. This is not unearned fear. Kevin is many things, and Jean may call him a coward to his face, but he is not fragile. Kevin doesn't shatter like this. Kevin is strong, and protective to a fault, and he would never cling to Jean like this if Tetsuji hadn't broken him to nothing while Jean wasn't looking.
'He cannot take you,' Jean murmurs into Kevin's hair. Jeremy rubs his cheek against Kevin's knee in agreement. 'We will not let him.'"
---
What starts as a reconciliation visit to California shatters into a make-shift psych hold for Kevin at Jean and Jeremy's when Tetsuji Moriyama announces his plan to force his godson into a conservatorship. Jean and Jeremy race to reexamine the story of Kevin Day they've been told before Kevin finds drastic means to escape returning to his own personal hell, and find that not even the son of exy could survive what went on behind closed doors alone.

Summary
What was probably only a few feet felt like miles, and he nearly sobbed in relief when he finally made it to the door.
He was so tired. So, so, so tired.
He curled around his hand protectively as he stumbled to the next door.
Was this – He blinked rapidly, trying to clear his vision. The world swayed dangerously, and he latched onto the door frame to keep himself upright.
The rusted numbers were once again wrong, and a groan did slip out as his hand throbbed harshly, more blood spilling from the mangled flesh.
Next one, it had to be the next one.
This. This was the right one.
It took everything in him to pound on the wood. Or maybe he had just knocked. His vision was tunneling. His right shoulder leaned heavily against the door frame. The door opened, lids fluttering open. When did he close his eyes?
“What-“ the man before him started.
“I’m -” he started. The world was growing dark, and it was all so heavy and everything hurt. It all hurt so fucking much.
All he could gasp out was, “Help me,” before collapsing.

Summary
Then she smirks, like she can’t help herself, “So,” she says, too casually to be casual, “how’s your dating life, Lance?”
Lance snorts, the sound quick and amused, like the question itself is ridiculous. “Pretty non-existent.”
“Hm.” Pidge doesn’t look at him. “Thrilling.” There’s another pause. “Keith?”
Keith lifts a hand vaguely, the one not currently holding his drink, waving it off without much thought. “Same.”
Pidge finally turns her head again. Just stares at them. Then rolls her eyes so hard it’s almost audible. “I wonder why that is.”
___
Keith and Lance are NOT dating, they swear
