    Summary

    "Finney," Mando says, soft.

    "Don't call me that!" The snarl rips through the quiet of the woods. "Don't ever call me that."

    "Okay," he concedes, "Okay. I won't. But I need you to know, it doesn't… whatever he did, it doesn't make you less of a man."

    Finn laughs, raw and bitter. He's been a man since he was thirteen. Because that's what happens when you lose your virginity, right? You stop being a kid. When you kill someone with your bare hands, that's adulthood. You don't get to go back to glow in the dark stars on the ceiling and model rockets. That's all kid shit. And Finn hasn't been a kid in years.

    "What do you want, Mando?" he asks, and he sounds angry and exhausted and cracked in half.

    "To talk."

    Summary

    “Up.” Henry keeps the tone low. Controlled.

    Alex is often frantic to follow commands, his limbs falling over themselves in his haste to obey. There’s no sign of that rushed need now. He takes his time, unfolding himself leisurely.

    “You’re bold,” Henry monotones. He takes calculated steps forward, punctuating each slow stride with the unbutton and roll of his shirt sleeves. “I’ll give you that.”

    “You’re only now realizing? Thought you were brighter than that, baby.”

    --

    or, sometimes Alex struggles asking for help, but Henry can always fill in the gaps.

    Summary

    Finn’s probation paperwork says “community service,” not “revisit your childhood trauma and the ghosts in it.” He goes to Mando’s workshop anyway, because it’s one day and it’s just baseball. What’s the worst that could happen?

    Summary

    Finney stood on the far side of the grave, shoes sinking slightly into the wet earth, hands locked together so tight his fingers had gone numb. Someone had dressed him in a black coat that wasn’t his. It smelled like mothballs and old closets.

    He didn’t remember putting it on.

    Summary

    Finn, with a black eye or a hand shaped bruise ringing his wrist from someone grabbing his arm. Robin keeps a tally of each one, Finn's body acting as a scorecard of all his failures.

    Maybe he should be thrilled Finn is finally standing up for himself; he is, partially, but he also feels a sick thudding pulse of failure. Finn wouldn't have had to if Robin was there.

    Summary

    "Robin would describe thoughts as being divided into three categories.

    First, there were the feelings. Right now, Ernesto’s were shooting through them. Things like shame, embarrassment, and panic. They permeated the whole body and were impossible to ignore.

    Second were the verbal thoughts. The words that ran through a person’s head like a dialogue. Right now, Ernesto’s were directed at him and they were all variations of ‘I’m sorry’ and ‘Shit! I can’t stop!’

    Which made sense, because the third and final category was visual thoughts. They were the pictures a person’s mind created. Sometimes they even played more like a movie. In this case, Ernesto’s was a mixture, but all of the same subject matter: Finney Blake. And they were not innocent."

    AKA: The time the crew found out Ernesto was into Finn.

    Summary

    He was half expecting for his mother to answer but instead was met with a meek voice on the other line. “Hello?” If he didn’t know better, and if there were a less shaky sound to it, Finn would’ve thought it was Robin. But he did know better. Finn didn’t answer for a minute, fighting with himself internally on whether or not he should do this.

    “Ernesto,” Finn finally spoke up. He heard the breathing on the end of the line stop as Ernesto inhaled sharply. “You busy?”

    “N—uh, no.” He replied after a moment. He heard a sniffle and his heart hurt momentarily, had Ernie been crying? And was it because he missed Robin or because Finn had fucked him and ignored him for weeks?

    “Do you wanna come over?”

    Summary

    Finn wasn’t putting pressure on the sides, but his actual airway. Ernesto hated that he didn’t mind the lack of air, the dizzy feeling. If he kept up with this, Ernesto would cum. The lack of air, the way Finn was pounding him like he hated him, the fuzzy feeling in his head, it was overwhelming to where he started to drool. “Finn,” Ernesto coughed out, but Finn didn’t respond.

    Summary

    “Do you think about him?”

    Finney, who was looking over his most recent problems he’s assigned him, paused. He didn’t need to ask who he was in reference to. Of course he knew. He saw him in Ernesto’s face every day. He paused momentarily. “Yes,” he said quietly. “Of course I do.”

    A silence weighed the air as Ernie slowly reached for his hand, but he practically jolted away as if Ernesto’s touch burned him.

    “I can…I can help,” he offered quietly. Finney stared for a long moment and he had that same look. The one that he’d seen, with the same tint of his cheeks. Finn shot up from his place.

    Summary

    Finney awkwardly ripped some toilet paper off the roll and handed it to him. “For your…” his voice trailed off. He set the stuff down carefully and took them, wiping his eyes.

    “Thanks.” It was tense for a moment before Ernesto choked out shoulder shaking sobs, making Finn freeze. Fuck. Finney could barely handle the feeling of his skin on another’s, how could he handle a crying Ernesto Arellano? He can’t, that’s how.

    OR; Finney’s attempts at comforting a crying Ernesto at a memorial for Robin.

    Summary

    Gwen pulls up her sleeves and shows him the handprint burned into her skin, and Finn’s heart stops. He grabs her arm, pushes the sleeve up further, frantically looking for more marks. All he can think about are the marks he woke up with this morning, and how he’s going to be sick if he touched Gwen—

    Then he realizes. The handprint is too small to be his, it probably doesn’t even belong to an adult. He exhales shakily, and Gwen pulls her arm away.

    Summary

    Ernesto, by contrast, looks relieved at Mando being here. "Um, Gwen, did you have any dreams?" he asks. "Because, uh, I woke up and-" his face flickers, and he lifts his shirt a bit.

    Finn nearly vomits on the spot. If it weren't for the fact that there's nothing left in his stomach, he's sure he would've. Handprints burned into Ernie's waist. Just above the waist of his flannel pajama pants. Big and matching the ones on Finn's thighs. He gags, covering his mouth with a shaking hand.

    "That's frostbite," Mando says, voice dropping the cheer he had clearly been trying to keep up. "Sit down, we need to treat that immediately."

    Ernie sits, and Finn wants to scream at him for being so open with it. Like he doesn't seem to understand what it means. Robin, Robin is sitting on that bunk and staring accusingly at Finn. Still thirteen, forever thirteen, and he's pissed because Finn let the same thing that happened to both of them happen to Ernesto. He hopes Robin kills him for it.

    Summary

    Finney gets his first car at seventeen years old.

    It had been a struggle, saving up for it—his dad working almost double the hours for his company, and Finney even picking up a part-time job at a nighttime diner. Gwen had somehow managed to pitch in as well, dumping whatever coins she had stowed in her piggy bank into the fund. Eventually, it all paid off, and here he was, driving him and his sister to the movies in a busted up Chevy Camaro.

    Finney drives Gwen to a date with Ernesto, where he unwillingly ends up running into someone…otherworldly.

    Summary

    The moment stretches, taut and terrible. Finney’s hands are trembling, his chest a furnace of heat and panic and something older, something rotten that’s been fermenting in him since Robin disappeared.

    “You fucking—you look like him,” Finney spits again, voice low and cracking and breaking like a tree branch imploding underneath it’s own weight. Self-sabotage in all its chaos and glory. And before Ernesto can react, Finney’s fist jerks forward like the movement is intrinsic and practiced to its core—a sharp hit to the jaw, the sound of impact splitting the air, and then another.

    Ernesto staggers back, hands up, wide-eyed like a deer under the interrogative gaze of headlights, but he doesn’t fall. Not at first. His mouth cracks open, a sharp gasp, but Finney barely hears it over the whirling storm inside his own skull. He swings again, a wild, desperate motion, the world around him tilting, blurring. He’s not even aiming anymore—just striking at the air, at the memory, at the grief that’s taken shape and manifested horribly, devastatingly as the boy standing in front of him.

    Or; Finney misses Robin. Ernesto suffers the consequences.

    Summary

    Finney made a promise to himself, a promise to Robin more importantly, that he would always look out for Ernesto. The younger boy's world was made so small, no father and no older brother, and Finney swore that he would always be there for him, no matter what.

    No matter what he needs to comfort him through the grief.
