This, he thinks, is where it starts falling apart. This is where the other shoe drops, like Tim's been waiting for, and Matt starts drifting away. Where there are longer and longer stretches of Matt being "busy" until eventually, they're only seeing each other in the court room. Tim can feel it, the distance already squeezing between them. It's only a matter of time now.
He should probably just cut it off now. Beat Matt to the punch and do it himself just to save him a little less heartache. He knew it was coming and it's still twisting in his stomach uncomfortably. It'll just hurt worse if he lets it drag on.
But Tim's never been very good at saving himself.
Instead, he grabs the bourbon and the scotch from the cabinet, two glasses, and joins Matt in the living room, sitting down before answering.
"Yeah. Of course." Of course. It doesn't matter how frustrated he might be, or how angry he was before, Tim doesn't think he'll ever be able to tell Matt no. Ultimately, it will be his downfall. But for tonight, it only means curling up with a good looking lawyer between silk sheets and catching up on sleep.
