[ He knows it's probably a relief to Koby, as conflict averse as he is. Tim had never asked him to stop being friends with Hawk or anything so drastic, but he likes things in their place, and he likes people happy. The delight is sweet, and relieving to Tim, too, that he doesn't sigh or roll his eyes. His smile curls at the corner of his mouth, and he reaches for a wine glass. ]
Yeah. That's the idea. Date like normal people. Reconnect emotionally, prove that we can still be good for each other.
[conflict feels heavy, an overcast day, especially on tim’s bright, sunshiney yellow aura – koby’s learning to allow it, as out of his control as clouds, but it aches when he can feel it in his friends. and he wants to believe things can get better, that hawk and tim can navigate the pain and the history they carry, can learn to balance it with the chance they have to be together.
he wants there to be such a thing as happy ever after. koby passes over the glass, taking the other for himself and sipping at it, meditatively.] Dates are fun, too. You get to do fun things and not – you know. [another sip.] Just try to solve murders and stuff like that.
[it’s not quite been long enough that it doesn’t sting, jabbing somewhere beneath koby’s ribs, and he hooks his free arm through tim’s, someone to hold onto, to center himself with.] I think it’s a good idea. A good – strategy. [soldier to soldier respect.]
