it’s the way that steve, shirtless and having just been nearly mauled to death by demobats, is like “we can take em” at the prospect of the rest of the bats that are currently positioned between them and watergate, and robin immediately looking at him in the most unimpressed, this is the russian guard thing all over again way. see exhibit 1

@harringtontm ; ❝  if  we  get  through  this,  is  there  a  thing  where  we,  like,  talk  to  each  other about  stuff…  normally?  ❞ ( x )

WHAT  DOES  A  HEART  ATTACK  FEEL  LIKE ? painful , he  wagers . a  stabbing , probably , or  a  slicing , cutting , something  like  that . he  tries  to  think  back  to  that  fun  night  at  ACJC  when  someone  had  felt  the  need  to  plunge  a  sharpened  tooth  brush  into  his  back  ( does  Steve  even  know  about  this ? probably  not )  and  wonders  if  it’s  a  little  like  that . adrenaline  rush , followed  by  a  feeling  he  can  only  describe  as  searing  and  hot  and  the  pain  doesn’t  actually  settle  in  until  the  stitches  are  done  and  the  high  wears  down . with  his  track  record , one  might  think  that  Tommy  is  a  sucker  for  pain , but  there’s  pain  and  then  there’s  pain  and  then  there’s  whatever  this  bullshit  is  that  goes  PANG  in  his  chest  when  Steve  asks  this  very  question  he  had  not  anticipated . he  feels  his  throat  dry  up ; tries  to  swallow  once , twice  but  fails  completely  and  only  manages  to  scrape  parched  skin  against  more  parched  skin , causing  another  source  of  friction . awesome . this  isn’t  supposed  to  feel  this  way . talking  to  somebody  one  loves  cares  about , despite  it  all , isn’t  supposed  to  feel  this  way .

Tommy  takes  another  drag  from  his  cigarette , hoping  that  Steve  can  neither  see  his  heart  pulsing  in  his  throat , nor  the  slight  tremble  of  his  fingers  when  he  brings  them  up  to  his  lips . this  may  be  the  single , one  moment  of  peace  they  might  have  before  something  new  and  excessively  shitty  happens  and  he’s  not  ready  to  talk  about  the  what  if’s  and  could  be’s  when  his  brain  hasn’t  even  tuned  in  on  the  present  moment  yet . it’s  not  fair  and  a  part  of  him  is  more  than  tempted  to  throw  exactly  that  at  Steve’s  head , but  he  heroically  resists  the  urge .

“ if  we  get  through  this , ” bright  green  eyes  look  at  Steve  then , his  face  betraying  that  he’s  the  opposite  of  happy , though  it  remains  unclear  as  to  why  exactly . “ I’m  gonna  kill  you . I’m  gonna  kill  you  so  hard  for  dragging  me  into  this  shit , Harrington , I  promise  you  that . ” he  licks  his  lips , takes  another  nervous  drag . “ now  if  you  happen  to  survive  that  somehow , I’ll  kill  you  again  and  if  you  also  happen  to  survive  that .  .  . ” a  pause .  almost  as  if  he  himself  isn’t  quite  sure  how  to  finish  the  sentence . a  touch  of  anger  has  built  up  on  his  face  while  talking , brows  knit  together , the  freckled  nose  scrunched  up  a  little . and  while  he  ponders  the  end  to  that  sentence , it  almost  seems  like  he  deflates ; tension  seeping  out  of  him , his  face  slowly  relaxing  again , and  Tommy eventually blinks  and  clears  his  throat . “ maybe . I  guess . whatever . ” well  done , Hagan . now  get  that  fucking  flutter  in  your  chest  to  stop .

@harringtontm ; ❝  we  should  be  good  people.  wouldn’t  it  be  nice  to  wake  up  in  the morning  and  not  feel  like  a  fucking  piece  of  shit?  ❞ ( x )

NINE IN THE FUCKING MORNING and there's an image slowly burning itself into Tommy's head ; it builds up piece by piece because , frankly , he still lacks the mental capacity to do anything faster than .2 miles per hour , but what steadily shows up is the picture of a sunshine-smiley idiot ( incidentally having Steve's face , funny how that works ) waking up in a bright bedroom , curtains wafting in the breeze , he stretches , sighs , tells himself what a lovely lovely day it will be and gets up , dressed in perfectly pressed , striped pajamas . there's coffee on the patio and a cheerful greeting for the equally stupidly dressed neighbor while he picks up the newspaper in a friggin' picket-fence neighborhood . clear-headed , awake , clean , filled with motivation for the day .

Tommy owlishly blinks against the morning sun , scratches the freckled chin . . .

. . . " eh , " and fishes around in his pocket for the shot bottle of bourbon to add to the thermos he'd nicked from his father . too much mental gymnastics at this hour . or any hour , for that matter . " that's what god invented counter-beer for . " fuck , his voice still sounds rough . and the only way to remedy that , apparently , is with a cigarette and a sip of bourbon-induced caffeine . to feeling like a fucking piece of shit . he shifts , sitting cross-legged on the hood of his pine-green Alfa Romeo , and lightly starts whacking the thermos to the side of Steve's head , shamelessly abusing the fact that the other boy's still flat on his back next to him and not looking like he intends to move anytime soon . fine by him . not like they got class in five minutes .

" drink up , sweetheart . you're not you when you're sober . "

@harringtontm ; ❝  don’t  threaten  me,  i  don’t  have  time  to  jerk  off.  ❞ omfg ( x )

HE’S  THIS  CLOSE  TO  SMACKING  HIM ; four  inches  between  the  fingertips  tops , if  he  were  to  show  it  visually , and  the  distance  only  seems  to  shrink  with  each  passing  minute .  .  . and  yet  nothing  could  be  better  than  this  right  now . there’s  an  air  of  something  still  around , reminding  them  both  that  things  aren’t  quite  alright  just  yet , but  slowly  an  old , familiar  closeness  is  squeezing  in  again . apparent  in  the  way  Steve  nonchalantly  throws  the  line  at  him , and  Tommy  fires  back  without  missing  a  beat . “ aw , come  on , I’m  sure  you  can  have  your  usual  five  seconds . ” ( a  stressed  little  squeak  sounds  from  Henderson  somewhere  behind  him . )

Tommy  has  always  been  good  at  grudges . fool  me  once , shame  on  you  and  enjoy  the  regular  trips  into  the  dumpster  for  the  next  couple  of  weeks , but  as  usual , Steve  is  the  exception  to  the  rule . the  guy  who  can  break  his  heart ( not  that  he  knows  it , but  that’s  fine ) and  receive  nothing  in  return  but  radio  silence  on  Tommy’s  part . people  at  school  had  waited  for  some  kind  of  grand  revenge  plot , orchestrated  by  Tommy H ; he  knows  because  a  few  had  actually  approached  him  about  it , asking  about  Steve , trying  to  get  some  kind  of  a  rise  out  of  him , to  receive  nothing  in  return . Steve  had  simply  stopped  existing , because  the  pathetic , bitter  truth  is  that  Tommy  could  never  hurt  him . even  the  little  threats  chucked  at  him  from  the  sidelines  now  are  nothing  more  than  hot  air , and  Steve  knows  it , too .

he  follows  him  outside , duffel  bag  with  all  kinds  of  crap  slung  over  his  shoulder  to  divide  it  all  equally  into  two  cars . if  he  found  a  single  scratch  on  his  Alfa  later , he’d  lose  it . “ hey , Steve .  .  . uhm - ” there’s  a  strange , quiet  pensiveness  to  his  tone ; brows  knit  together  a  little  while  he  unlocks  the  boot . on  his  car  keys  still  dangles  the  leather  tag  Steve  had  gifted  him  when  he’d  passed  his  license . dark  brown , a  little  worn  out  by  now , with  the  words  clown  cart  stamped  in . “ I’m  sorry  it  didn’t  work  out . y’know . with  Nancy . ” half  a  lie . the  jealous  little  bitch  in  him  is  throwing  confetti  around  in  his  head , while  another  more  protective , caring  part  of  him  simply  wouldn’t  wish  to  see  Steve  suffer . ever .

[thagantm]

@harringtontm ; ❛ can i ask… what happened? ❜ ( x )

THERE’S  SOME  URGENCY  IN  THE  WAY  HE  PULLS  THE  SHIRT  OVER  HIS  HEAD ; flattens  it  down  his  torso  while  unceremoniously  chucking  the  one  he’d  worn  before  in  the  trash  -  soaked  in  blood  and  grime  and  dirt , completely  ruined . Tommy  is  used  to  the  kitchen  in  his  home  being  quiet , but  not  while  Steve’s  around . having  Harrington  in  his  house , once  upon  a  fucking  time , had  almost  always  equalled  music , dumb  jokes  and  that  even  dumber  laugh  of  his , that  usually  sufficed  for  Tommy  to  catch  the  fucking  giggles , too . nothing  much  has  changed  in  those  two  years  since  he’d  last  been  here . same  spotless  interior  design , picked  methodically  out  of  a  catalogue , same  half – filled  fridge , containing  the  same  boring  as  shit  microwave  meals  because  the  last  time  his  mother  had  actually  been  around  to  cook  had  been  Christmas  when  he  was  twelve . it’s  the  fucking  quiet  that’s  new . and  it’s  the  fucking  quiet  that  Tommy  hates . it  makes  his  skin  crawl  -  even  worse  than  the  scar  Steve  apparently  had  spotted  on  his  shoulder  blade .

he  shrugs  nonchalantly , running  his  fingers  through  his  hair  to  slick  it  back  in  place  where  it  belongs . “ pissed  off  the  wrong  people , I  guess . ” not  unlikely , given  Tommy’s  temper  and  his  complete  lack  of  a  filter . out  here , in  the  real  world , nothing  bad  ever  happens  to  him  (  never  an  alpha , but  always  a  little  better  than  everybody  else  )  but  juvie  had  been  a  different  kind  of  ecosystem . one  that  was  tough  to  handle  alone , especially  with  a  big  mouth . he  opens  the  fridge , pops  the  taps  of  two  cans  of  beer  and  hands  one  of  them  over  to  Steve .

can’t  mend  whatever  shit’s  happened  if  you  don’t  talk  to  him .

not  like  he  needs  the  reminder , but  it  still  isn’t  easy . almost  as  if  he’d  unlearned  to  talk  to  the  guy  who’d  once  been  one  of  the  most  important  people  in  his  fucked  up  life . Tommy  pulls  himself  up  on  the  kitchen  counter  and  clears  his  throat . “ I  uh  -  filched  a  couple  packs  of  cigarettes . not  really , I  paid  for  them  but  I  didn’t  know  about  the  last  two  of’em  being  reserved  for  some  hot  shot  whose  anger  management  issues  are  worse  than  mine , apparently . ” telling , really , if  one  knew  Tommy  at  all ; and  Steve  undoubtedly  does . “ I  didn’t  think  it  was  a  big  deal . offered  him  to  buy  them  back , so  he  called  me  a  thief  and  I  called  him  a  bitch , he  insulted  my  mom , I  insulted  his , you  know  how  that  goes , and  later  that  night  I  had  a  toothbrush  stuck  in  my  back . ” stuck  and  then  dragged  down , leaving  the  little  art  piece  on  his  shoulder . Tommy  lifts  the  can  to  his  lips . “ still  kept  the  cigs  though . ” as  if  that  was  a  win  to  be  proud  of . he  takes  a  swig . “ now  don’t  even  think  about  giving  me  that  concerned  puppy  eye  look , Harrington , I’m  fine . ” 

[thagantm]

@harringtontm ; ❛ i’m not leaving you. ❜ ( x )

THAT  DAMNED  MULE  AND  HIS  STUBBORN  RIGHTEOUSNESS ; Tommy  fights  the  initial  need  to  rake  his  fingers  down  his  face  and , instead , huffs  an  exasperated  sigh  into  the  night  air . it  stretches  the  skin  of  his  abdomen  uncomfortably , reminding  him  of  the  nasty  injury  that’s  still  largely  untreated  (  bandages  and  some  anti – septic  lotion  don’t  count  and  the  rational  part  of  his  brain  knows  it , too  )  and  tries  hard  to  hide  the  brief  scrunch  of  his  freckled  nose  from  Steve . the  man’s  pale  enough  as  is  ;  almost  as  if  he’s  the  one  who  lost  a  ton  of  blood  instead  of  Tommy . granted , he’s  glad  to  be  sitting , even  if  it’s  on  some  dingy  playground  next  to  the  house  of  an  alleged  psychopath . the  Creel  House  looms  somewhere  in  the  back  of  them , and  Tommy  still  tries  to  wrap  his  head  around  the  fact  that , in  some  parallel  dimension  to  this  one , there’s  a  lunatic  murderer  only  a  few  yards  away  from  them , killing  kids  for  shits  and  giggles . it’s  one  of  the  last  moments  of  quiet  and  he’s  sure  both  him  and  Steve  are  painfully  aware  of  that . once  the  preparations  are  done  and  the  plan’s  been  repeated  until  it  bleeds  out  of  their  ears  a  few  more  times , there’s  no  turning  back .

he  hates  being  left  behind  like  that . too  scratched  up  to  go  back  to  the  Upside  Down , but  still  fine  enough  to  hiss  and  spit  at  Nancy  for  suggesting  he  should  go  back  home . it’s  one  thing  to  drag  him  into  this  mess , but  to  then  suggest  he  should  fold  and  give  up  is  nothing  short  of  an  insult  to  Tommy  Hagan . even  bleeding , he  brings  more  to  the  table  than  most  in  this  party  -  at  least  in  terms  of  muscle . Steve  knows . Steve  knows  everything  about  him  after  all . or  almost  everything  at  least .

“  yeah , you  will . ” his  voice  is  a  little  rough  and  he  really  craves  a  cigarette  right  now . “ you’ll  go  back  in  there  and  kill  that  asshole  and  I’ll  be  right  here , looking  after  Little  Miss  Sunshine . ‘s  easy . ” Little  Miss  Sunshine  being  Erica , who , funnily  enough , hadn’t  been  all  to  reluctant  to  agree  to  a  security  detail  out  here  on  the  playground , just  in  case  shit  hit  the  fan . again . he’s  keeping  the  second  shotgun  after  successfully  convincing  Wheeler  to  saw  off  her’s  (  yes , it’s  a  felony , cry  me  a  river ) along  with  another  nail – emblazoned  baseball bat , and  by  now  he's  quite  convinced  that  even  if  Vecna  came  for  them  and  made  it  past  whatever  weapons  they’d  hurl  at  him , Sinclair  would  find  that  one  insecurity , that  one  childhood  trauma  keeping  him  up  at  night  in .2  seconds  flat  and  then  proceed  to  pound  on  that  until  he’d  beg  her  to  stop  before  turning  suicidal  .  .  .

he  leans  forward  just  enough  to  reach  out , clap  a  hand  to  the  side  of  Steve’s  neck , and  casually  rest  their  foreheads  together .  frankly , he’s  not  sure  whether  he’s  doing  it  to  soothe  Steve’s  nerves , or  his  own , but  in  any  case , it  feels  good  -  familiar . a  touch  that  chases  his  heart  up  into  his  throat  and  that  he’s  already  reluctant  to  end  even  though  it’s  only  just  begun . Tommy  chases  the  what  ifs  and  will – I – ever – see – him – agains  to  the  back  of  his  mind  and  briefly  closes  those  green  eyes . inhales  the  sticky  scent  of  hairspray  and  Steve , and  decides  that  he’s  glad  to  have  been  dragged  into  this  shit , so  long  as  he’s  gotten  Steve  back  in  the  process . “ I’ll  be  fine , Harrington . you  got  your  own  shit  to  worry  about . ”
