Summary
"If there's something to say - I'll say it loud /and if there's something to do - I'll show you how / oh you've been broken, you've been battered / but this part is not forever / so love you in the here and now." - Here and Now, Flannel Graph

When they were younger, before Sam had ever brought him home, Beto had enjoyed watching Sam like this. The long lines of him, the way his muscles had moved with each punch…but then he’d noticed the pattern. Sam would receive a letter from home, he’d disappear for a while to read it, and then later that night, Beto would find him like this. And once he’d noticed the pattern, it was harder to ignore the other things- the way that all of Sam’s muscles were coiled up for a fight, that the sounds he made with each blow were more sobs than a reminder to breathe. That the wetness on his cheeks was more than just sweat.These days, now that Sam is free to visit home whenever he wants and now that they all have cell phones, Beto’s pieced together that it’s worse after Sam’s talked to his mother. Now, while Beto was by no means a regular at the Guthrie farmhouse, he was an expert in piecing Sam back together after a visit.

It’s fun, it’s good, it’s great even…and then Shogo bursts into tears in the other room.
Jono quietly excuses himself for a moment and returns with an armful of sniffling toddler. He nuzzles his nose against the boy’s hair and sings softly, an old half-remembered lullaby he vaguely recalls from childhood. He struggles, but manages to fix a sippy cup of milk, despite the two year old’s squirming. He could almost forget that Paige was there if not for the fact that she is thinking very loudly about him, not ten feet away.
Fuck he’s hot. Why is this hot?
Jono feels heat rise to his face and tries to pretend he isn’t flustered as he gently bounces Shogo until his son calms down. He has a few guesses about why Paige might think this is hot but he knows she isn’t receptive to them. “He…doesn’t like to feel left out.”
Paige blushes and plays with the ends of her hair. “You’re really good with him.”
