    Summary

    “I’m just angry, Roy, and I don’t know how to make it stop.”

    Jamie clearly needs an outlet. Needs to get out of his own head. But he can’t take Jamie to the community pitch where he grew up, can’t take Jamie on some spontaneous bike ride to find a fucking windmill. Jamie can’t fucking run.

    “I think I have an idea.” He’s lying. He has no clue what to do.

    Jamie ducks his head, scowls at the floor and tangles his hands together in one tight knot. His knuckles are still white.

    “Fine.”

    Jamie believes him anyway.

    In which Jamie is hamstrung and frustrated and Roy puts himself on an emotional spit rotisserie then spins around a bunch.

    AKA: ’yeah I fucked it, made it worse’: Roy edition.

    Summary

    Time stretches, like rubber, warping under the weight of Jamie’s memories, and his fears, which suddenly seem too close to his reality.

    Then, he’s at a house. Not his own. But familiar just the same.

    It’s Roy’s house.

    or: James Tartt Snr is in Richmond, Jamie's too afraid to go home, he ends up at Roy's door.

    Summary

    Roy Kent does not like unknowns.

    He can deal with Jamie Tartt punching his father in the locker room and breaking down. He can deal with the aftermath of losing to City and finding out Tartt is a bit worse than he let on.

    The fact that he cares so much about the prick is a little harder to deal with.

    Summary

    He should’ve told Roy.

    That’s— it’s maybe too late for that, but maybe it’s not. Maybe he’s still got a chance to get some help. It’s only half, there’s still forty five minutes of match to play. Still time to figure out a way to pull Roy aside and tell him me dads in some trouble and I think because of that I am now in trouble.

    Unfortunately, Jamie never ever been good at asking for help. In fact, he’s not sure he even knows how.

    .

    Jamie's dad gets into some trouble. This time, Jamie is the one who pays for it.
