    Summary

    “I would kiss you, obviously. I’d ask first, because I want to hear you say it.”

    “Because you want to hear me say it,” Roy asks, “or because you want me to tell you what to do?”

    Summary

    Walking to the caf for tea means passing the wall of photos from when they won the Premiership, and Roy stops for a minute, like he always does, letting his eyes wander over those familiar faces. Most of them he hasn’t seen in person in years, though they still have group chats and video meet-ups and all kinds of shit that he hates that he understands.

    There’s one picture at the very end, him and Jamie Tartt with their arms thrown around each other, laughing next to the trophy. Roy always lingers on that one for a moment, and thinks about how that’s another phone call he could make, and should, and has been putting off for too long.

    Summary

    'Photos taken this past July (below) from an anonymous source find O’Leary in line at a pizzeria in Washington, DC at half two in the morning, passionately snogging an unidentified man. Neither O’Leary nor Wolverhampton manager Julen Lopetegui provided comments by time of print.'

    The rest of the article slips under a pop-up ad, but Roy’s been more than through with it once he hit the by-line. He glances up, meets Colin’s eye with a sigh, watching as he pulls the phone away to stick in a back pocket that doesn’t exist in the kit shorts.

    “What are we going to do about it?” Colin says.

    When another Premier League player is outed by the press, Richmond announce a charity drag show to try to steer the relentless media circus away from him.

    Roy just doesn't expect it to turn his life upside-down.

    Summary

    "Oh," Jamie laughs. "Well, it’s November, innit?"

    He says that like it’s supposed to explain why he looks completely fucking ridiculous.

    Roy blinks at him.

    "Mate," Jamie continues, exasperated. "Y’know, the moustache thing? Movember? It’s for, like, mental health."

    "Whose fucking mental health?" Roy replies. "Because the thought of watching you try to grow a moustache sounds absolutely fucking terrible for mine."

    -

    or, jamie grows a moustache while roy slowly and steadily loses his mind.

    Summary

    “Hello, Uncle Roy.”

    Jamie fucking Tartt is sitting next to him, smiling.

    “What the fuck is he doing here?” Roy asks, simmering with rage, and a fast-approaching, overwhelming sense of dread.

    “I had to invite your boyfriend,” Phoebe says, like it’s the most obvious fucking thing in the world.

    Roy hears his sister let out an extremely loud snort. She’s smiling behind a hand covering her mouth, her patented Kent eyebrows raised as she looks at him. She makes no move to correct her daughter. Roy considers fratricide.
