Maybe.

[ He doesn't have to tell her about lollipops and rainbows. It's been ages since she had seen those. Ianto and Jack seemed a million miles away now, even if it had only been a few months. And with them, any semblance of happiness she had grasped for followed.

Part of her wanted to hope that FDR being back would change that, but part of her didn't want to hope for anything. ]

What do you want from me, Foster?

[ It's scary to have something, lose it and then get something back. You get paranoid. You worry it'll be snatched away again. FDR understands that. Part of why he didn't get close to a woman before Lauren was for fear of them being taken away somehow. That voice in your head that reminds you that you can lose people so fucking quickly. Important people. ]

I missed you, boss. Do you need a buncha answers right now?

[themuse]

I need some answers. I need something.

He left and came back. Maybe Ianto and Jack would. Maybe Bo would. But then what? They leave, they come back. Kate is so tired of people bouncing in and out of her life, whether it is their choice to do so or not is besides the point. She tired. She just wants someone she can count on.

I know you have your own shit going on, but I need something, Foster. I need to know if you're finding a new place to live tomorrow, if you're going to try to get your wife back, if you're planning on staying. I need something.

[ She's right. She might need some answers. He does have some when it comes to Annie and Dean. Because he decided the minute he touched down here he wasn't going to walk down that road again. He wasn't going to torture himself with that. ]

I'm staying. [ He steps towards her and reaches out to take her hands gently. ] I'm not going anywhere. Me and Annie? She never loved me and I know that. I wanna be happy. Not miserable. So I'm staying. If you don't mind.

[ Her first instinct is to recoil when he takes her hand, but she manages not to. Instead she feels his fingers tightening around him, as if she can just hold him there and make him not leave. ]

I want you to stay. [ The words are breathed out of her, slow and quiet, and she's not even sure he could hear her. ]

[littletrexhands]

[ Maybe if he was standing back where he was he might have asked her to say it again. FDR can be an asshole. A childish one too, but for once in his life he doesn't say the dumbass thing. He doesn't ask her to repeat it or anything foolish. Instead he just smiles and squeezes her hand back. ]

Then I'll stay. As long as you want me to.

[themuse]

[ She appreciates him not making it into a joke. She hasn't been in a joking mood lately, and she doesn't have the energy to jab back at his barbs. ]

Okay. Well. That's settled, then. [ She turns away, picking up the menu. ] You want to order dinner?

[littletrexhands]

I want to order all of the food.

[ Because maybe he's a little bit hungry. He needs to eat or he's going to eat everything that Kate might actually have in her kitchen. Which is probably not a lot because this is still Kate he's dealing with. ]

Do you think we could just sit on your couch and eat everything in sight?
