Summary
"You okay?" You were aiming for casual but it comes out overly so, like you're self-conscious about it. And, a little slurred.
"Fuck off," Shane says.
You nod. Figures. Turning, you start to walk away again when he says, "Sorry."
You stiffen, look at him. He's looking at you now, managed to tear his eyes away from the shelf.
"Sorry," he says again, with such an honesty to it. "Old habits."
Three years since you last spoke, the rumour around town is that Shane's sober now. When it proves to be true, and he wants to be friends, old wounds are reopened and old habits die hard.

Summary
You watch him raise his beer to his lips, wipe his mouth with the back of his hand. He stares at the bar. "There's safety in being gentle," he says slowly. "Most people like being safe."
Elliott. Sebastian. Harvey. All good guys. You enjoyed your time together. But you're still looking for someone to give it to you like you want. Fuck you hard, make you feel something.
Shane isn't boyfriend material. He tells you to fuck off and you argue drunkenly. You don't know anything about him and he wants to keep it that way. But when he propositions you one night, you know instinctively that he's the man for the job.
Two rules. Keep it casual, and don't try to fix him.
(You break them both.)
