Summary
He’d left the pub and his half finished beer with an awkward good night to Ted and headed out into the night with no direction in mind. When he crawls up out of his brain long enough to check in, he’s surprised to find that somehow, he ended up only a few blocks away from Roy’s place, on Roy's doorstep, ringing Roy's Doorbell.
Roy’s face morphs from annoyance, to confusion, to anger, his eyebrows pinched together. He opens his mouth to speak, but doesn’t get a chance before Jamie chokes out, “I fucked up.”

Summary
“Tartt! I know you’re in there and we’re going to be fucking late-” Roy cuts off right as Jamie swings open the door. He looks pissed, but Jamie watches as he takes him in, his eyes widening and mouth gaping in a way that would be downright comical if Jamie wasn’t currently channeling most of his focus into standing up straight. “Woah. You look like shit.”
“That’s fucking rude.” Jamie scoffs, right as he loses the fight against keeping his balance and sways forward.

Summary
“Why’d you buy your house, then?” Jamie asks.
Roy sighs. “Because an estate agent told me I should.”
“D’you like it?”
“I hate it,” Roy says heavily, and it’s surprisingly freeing to admit out loud. He sits back in his seat, feeling like an elephant has stepped off his chest.
“So sell it. Buy something you like. Life’s too short, right?” Jamie says, like it’s so easy.
It actually…probably is that easy. In the grand scheme of things. He just needs to ring an estate agent, put his house on the market, and buy a new one. People do it literally every day. Jamie Tartt figured it out, so it can’t be impossible. Fuck.

Summary
“The fuuuuuck,” Jamie mutters to himself, swiping back through the team page and his own page to double check the numbers. Why does Roy have so many more than anyone else? Who’s out there writing thousands and thousands of stories about Roy that don’t have Jamie in them? He frowns down at the screen, scrolling through the list under Roy’s name to confirm they’re all the same ones that are on Jamie’s page. They are. He frowns harder.

Summary
His beard and hair are both longer, airing just on the right side of scruffy, but besides that Roy looks exactly like he did when Jamie saw him last.
(Limping off the pitch for the last time, covered in mud and looking both jubilant and as if something heavy was settling over his shoulders like a shroud.)
Or: Jamie was never loaned to Richmond. When he took Roy out of the game, the man disappeared and secretly opened a bookshop. And also coached West London U9 girls.
Jamie is looking for a book.
