Summary

Summary
Lucius knows that emotions are not a part of their arrangement. When it started, Izzy had been extremely clear about what he wanted, and feelings did not factor in at all.
But, as Pete points out, that was before. That arrangement was made when Lucius and Izzy were strangers. The shifting dynamic and crumbling rules give Lucius an opening to push a little and potentially get what he wants--if he's brave enough.

Summary
It took Lucius ages before Izzy would stop snapping and snarling long enough to get to see glimpses of his true personality. Longer still, before Izzy smiled at him. Lucius thought those rare, privileged moments were just that--rare and a privilege he had earned.
But there is Izzy, sitting in the back corner of the bar with Lucius' new boss, smiling.
Lucius doesn't know what to feel, but he's starting to realize he really doesn't know that much about Izzy at all.
