Darker London-Uncover what is underneath...

Flynn missed Tristan. It was obvious in pretty much everything he did. He was happy about Quinn being back, but it was bittersweet because he'd lost something in all of this too. But it wouldn't have been fair on Quinn to lose his lover just because he was attacked. It wouldn't have been fair on Flynn to stay with Tristan, always wishing the attack hadn't happened so he adn Quinn were together. It wouldn't have been fair on Tristan either. Not that this was. Flynn was just happy that it had happened now and not years down the line when he had been absolutely steady with someone. He had no idea what he would have done were that the case.

Flynn hadn't seen his own home since April. He'd been on tour, and ever since he'd returned from tour and his world had been shattered, he'd been running. Quinn was gone, and Flynn wanted to be gone too. But he wasn't. He was still here. If only Quinn had died, the answer would be easy. Flynn knew people would miss him if he left, but if Quinn was dead, Flynn wanted to be too. But Quinn was caught somewhere in between. And it wasn't until Flynn was lying in an alleyway after having had the crap beaten out of him by Hamish the Manwall, that he realised that he would see Quinn again. Quinn was in the middle, but he wasn't stuck there forever. He would die some day. And Flynn would die too. And on that day, they would once again be together. Reunited for the third and final time.

Quinn had decided to wait until she had some more energy before speaking to his parents. Unfortunately by Monday afternoon, he had run out of excuses. His aunt and uncle had returned home, but Eamon had stayed behind and both he and Flynn had escorted Quinn to Uni and back to Flynn's house. They'd all had lunch together. And now there was nothing left to do, but call.

When the doctors had said the results would be back mid-morning, they hadn't been exaggerating. It was 10:00 AM on the dot when a doctor entered Quinn's room to find Flynn on the bed with his patient, as well as Quinn's parents and Eamon over to the side playing competitive crossword. "OH! It's 'Utopia'! Suck on that, Eamon!" Maree said to her son, and then she turned to face the doctor. "Erm...sorry."
