    Summary

    Looking back, it was inevitable, really, that perhaps because you had spent so much of your lives locked in each other’s orbit, the space between your bodies would get confused. Somehow, whatever force that controlled the atoms of the universe, whether that be chemical reactions or God or beings from a different dimension that programmed you all into a simulator or something, finally lost track of who was supposed to be attached to which body, or even that there were supposed to be two separate bodies at all. Or maybe it was all a metaphor for penetration.

    Matt and Jay make a discovery.

    Summary

    So it feels like they've naturalized your permanent presence in every single step they take as a basis of reality: you are always, always there. / That'd be ridiculous. You’re just watching this. It wouldn’t be a film if you were really there. / He was your director and you were his camera, so he was your head and you were his fear.

    Jared, thrice drawn.

    Summary

    "I'm from the future," Jay says at last.

    That's not possible, is Matt's first thought but he clamps down on it because this is Jay, and Jay is wandering Spadina, and Jay is also here in his room. So. Something impossible is now possible and it may as well be time travel.

    "You're a time traveller." Matt giggles. "Holy shit. Holy shit. How did you—? No, never mind that, what am I thinking. Do you have a sports almanac on you? Any winning lotto numbers?"

    Summary

    The burning in Jay’s face is enough to make him itchy. He can’t identify the emotion behind it. It’s indignation and it’s mortification and it’s a new word ending in -ation no one has ever felt in history before called ‘Matt is talking about having a shitty girlfriend and that’s me’. He keeps his tight fists at his sides and his jaw clenched and Matt holds his gaze but he breathes like Jay just sent him for a race. And maybe Jay wants a race now.

    It's 2008. Matt's a little bit drunk. Jay's a little bit high.

    Summary

    And now she's insinuating something to cheer him up and she has no fucking clue what she’s doing. But she knows her Bird and what he looks like when he's freaked out like this, and his glassy eyes and her own heartbeat drumming in her ears. She leans down until their noses are touching.

    “You're not gonna do anything about it.”

    It’s not a question and it's not a challenge. Jay does what she tells him to and he sits there.

    Jay doesn't like the "getting handcuffed" step in Matt's new plan, for some damn reason. She takes some drastic measures about it.
