Summary
“Tyler Kennedy Strand?”
“It’s TK. And who’s asking?”
The detective looks unimpressed. If TK didn't feel so harried he might've otherwise enjoyed the man’s attention. He's certainly his type: tall, tousled curls, dark lashes, smooth skin and a fit physique. That much is evident even with his suit pants, shirt, tie and jacket obscuring the view. He raises a hand to pull the jacket in question aside, flashing the badge at his hip. “Detective Reyes with the LAPD. We have some questions for you. It’s time sensitive.”
Jonah pulls at TK’s hand insistently, a silent plea to be held. Usually, he’d give him a soft chastise and tease him that he is getting too big to be carried. But today he relents, seeking his brother’s comfort just as much as he seeks his. He perches him on his hip and raises a single eyebrow, “Ask away.”
Detective Reyes’ eyes flit over to where Paul hovers in his neighbouring doorway, ready to jump in and help if need be, then down to Jonah who has tucked his face into TK’s chest. “We need you to come down to the station with us.”

Summary
She was hoping that would bring a smile out, but TK’s face remains fairly stony, the quirk at the corner of his mouth coming far more from a place of politeness than genuine amusement. Nancy gestures to the sofa, and TK sits while she grabs two sodas from the fridge, passing one to him and flopping onto her beanbag in the corner with the other.
Or the one where TK and Carlos broke up, Nancy doesn’t know how to help, and sometimes the only place you can go is the best place you could be.

Summary
It’s been two hours since their home burned down, and Carlos is shutting down.
TK’s not sure how to deal with this version of him. The thing about TK is that he’s an incredibly tactile person, and Carlos knows this and indulges it more than he should: he thrives on being close to his boyfriend, on small touches and stolen kisses and hugs where he feels like he could melt into the other man.
This Carlos has all but iced him out. TK knows it’s not deliberate – he’s struggling with the loss of his home and his possessions. He’d be worried if he wasn’t. But TK’s lost things too, and without Carlos’s anchoring touch there’s a buzzing growing under his skin.

Summary
He loved Carlos with every single fiber of his entire being. They were connected.
Didn’t Carlos feel the same? He thought he did. But then again TK was hard to love, wasn’t he? Isn’t that what people told him? Alex told him that when he told him he had been cheating for months. You’re not easy to love, TK. You’re a lot of work. You’re a mess. If I broke up with you, how could I live with the guilt of you relapsing? Because that’s what you would do right? So I didn’t. Can you blame me for finding someone easy to love? His parents never outright said it, but he could see it in their eyes how exhausted he made them when he was using. He saw how exhausted they’d looked after he’d overdosed proving Alex right, just before his dad pulled him from his entire life to go to Texas. They practically tiptoed around him with any bad news, worried that he would relapse because that’s what he coped for years. So many people left him because he was hard to love. He’d heard the words “I can’t do this anymore, TK” so many times. He preferred to be ghosted.
