    Summary

    If Rocky propositions him during the workday, he makes no such attempt at a performance—or, as Rocky likes to call it, courtship.

    After they determine this is indeed the word Rocky’s using, Grace snorts. “No. Courtship is, like, old-fashioned dating. Very formal old-fashioned dating.”

    “No, no.” Rocky gestures to what he gave Grace. “Is courtship. Trust.”

    “I don’t know what this is, but it’s not courtship!” Grace holds up the honest-to-God padded handcuffs Rocky made for him. They jingle a little. “Explain how this is old-fashioned to you. Quickly.”

    Rocky needs help with releasing some dominant energy, Grace helps... he thinks. If being pitiful and humping Rocky's leg is helpful, of course.

    Summary

    Events take place as a continuation to the ending of Drive (2011) where Driver uses Lars's guest house as a safe haven for recovery. Will he skip town the second his wounds are healed, or will something compel him to stay?

    "It was too good to be true for a good looking, kind man near his age to seemingly fall out of the sky and into his home anyways. He was quiet, yet thoughtful. Strong, but wielding. He didn’t just listen to Lars, waiting for him to stop speaking out of politeness, he really seemed to hang onto his every word. He gave him his full attention. Lars wasn’t used to that. It made him feel, for the first time in a long time, that he was taking too much from someone else. Lars was usually always the giver. He liked being the giver; it was comfortable. He felt like less of a bother that way. He didn’t really know how to just…receive."

    Ryland hadn't realized Simon's breathing had grown so heavy.

    "Do you know what the three different types of rocks are?" He asks before he can think about the words coming out of his mouth.

    "...do I fucking what?"

    Or, no one ever said distraction duty was Ryland's particular skill set, but he makes due
