    Summary

    - and then they suddenly break into another well known melody, one he hasn’t heard in ages and he wheels around and there’s Roy Kent, the Roy Kent, Roy fucking Kent, in his black shirt and jeans, with that face chiseled out of stone and the vibe of a thunderstorm that could wreck a country, striding onto the pitch, to the dugout and the other coaches.

    Well.

    He’s fucked.

    or:

    some things go differently than they did during Season 2.

    Summary

    Something is happening with Jamie. Roy has noticed. It's obvious, he's dating someone new. He's changed his hair, started painting his nails, and he keeps using words with more than three syllables. Not always correctly, mind you, but he's clearly making an effort for someone.

    Roy is determined to find out what's going on - in a professional capacity, of course. It's his job to check in on his players, even if that means sticking his nose into Tartt's love life.

    Roy is going to find out what's happening with Jamie Tartt, even if no one else is willing to help.

    Summary

    Natalie cracks open a bottle of sparkling Moscato with an audible pop! and remarks, “Just look at the muscles in those forearms. He could hold you up against a wall, no question.”

    Roy, who has never once looked at Jamie Tartt’s arms with anything other than detached professionalism, and really only during the rare instances when he was on spotting duty at the weight bench, downs an entire glass of wine and resigns himself to what amounts to psychological torture every Wednesday evening for the foreseeable future.

    Roy reluctantly watches the entire season of Lust Conquers All.

    Despite that, he doesn't really figure out how to deal with Jamie Tartt until months later.

    Summary

    “You could be my business.” Roy ignored the jolt of how right those words felt. Ignored Jamie’s own stunned, gaping expression. He raised a hand and cupped Jamie’s jaw, kissed him with all the barely contained, pent up everything he had been feeling about Jamie Tartt since he’d swaggered his way into the locker room at Nelson Road. It wasn't necessarily a nice kiss, but it was a pretty fucking great kiss, in Roy's estimation.

     

    Jamie bids on and wins Roy during the For the Children Gala.
