What did you expect? | @alaqatzam
read on ao3
pairing/character: Alex x Peter Dawson
word count: 1608
summary: Alex had told himself for a while that he wouldn’t go back- had to move on, assimilate the best he could and leave all his ghosts behind him, leave them out of sight and out of mind, pretend that day in the memorial didn’t happen and neither did whatever occurred later in that damn room. He should’ve bowed his head and left like a rat scurrying back into the drains. What with all the guilt and unabating feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness his head was starting to feel like a sewer anyway.
