Tommy seemed adamant that it was fine that he'd doubted him but that didn't stop Diego from feeling guilty about it. He knew that he shouldn't, after all Tommy had already changed everything once when he'd broken up with him so there was a chance that he could have changed his mind about that too but Diego knew that there was something going on that Tommy wasn't telling him. To begin with he had been so upset that he hadn't really paid too much attention to all of the details of what Tommy had said but now he knew that Tommy wouldn't have said that he'd needed a break from Teo as well unless there was something really wrong. Toni and Ethan had helped him realise it and he'd wanted to reach out to Tommy but he hadn't thought that it would do any good. It had been Tommy's decision to end things and Diego had tried his best to respect that but it was hard, it was harder than he had ever thought that it would be and truth be told being so close to him like this was reminding Diego of everything that he had lost. Diego knew that being as honest with Tommy as he was right now probably wasn't a good idea, it wasn't going to change anything but he still needed Tommy to know. Diego had no intention of moving on with anyone else and if Tommy really didn't want to be with him anymore then he knew that he was going to have to find a way to accept that but even so he knew that nothing was going to change the way he felt about the man before him, nothing ever could. He wanted to fix things between them so badly but the truth was that he had no idea what was really going on with Tommy right now so he had no idea where to even start. "Your guess is as good as mine," Diego admitted as Ethan asked why Tommy had broken up with him if he still loved him and would carry on keeping his secret. It didn't make any sense, those were the only two reasons why Diego had thought that Tommy might have broken up with him but now it seemed that there was another reason and he wanted to get to the bottom of what that was. "I guess so," he agreed, grateful to Ethan for staying by his side and looking out for him while Diego did his best to put on a brave face and pretend that everything was fine around Tommy's colleagues. Antonio had wondered whether he should have come clean with Tommy about the fact that he had broken Diego's heart, Antonio wasn't sure that it was his place but then again it was pretty obvious to him whenever he looked at Diego these days and he wouldn't have been surprised if Tommy could see it too. Antonio wanted to help his brother and hopefully get to the bottom of what had happened because he knew that he was never going to stop wanting to protect his brother but he wanted to help Tommy as well and Antonio knew that if his suspicions about what had happened were right then it would definitely explain a lot and it would make sense why Tommy had been keeping everyone at a distance. "You're welcome," Antonio said, offering Tommy a smile in return as he thanked him. Trusting Tommy with the truth about what had happened after Ethan died was a big step for Antonio, there was only one person he'd confided in about that and that person was his husband but after putting the pieces together he had realised that he and Tommy were probably pretty similar and Antonio needed him to know that he wasn't alone in what he was feeling. "I believe you," Antonio nodded as Tommy confirmed that he wouldn't let him down. Antonio had been trying to do good with his life every day since then and he was pretty sure that Tommy was trying to do the same. Antonio felt a smile touch his lips as Tommy confirmed he knew where to find him before saying he was ready. "You've got this," Antonio said gently. "I know you can do this," he said, patting Tommy's shoulder before heading inside to find Diego. "You're really not helping, you know?" Diego said, rolling his eyes as Ethan pointed out that Toni was returning on his own and that was even scarier. Diego was a bundle of nerves right now but as he looked down at his brothers hands as he approached he could see that there wasn't any blood on them which meant that he hadn't hurt Tommy and for that he really was relieved. Diego knew that his brother never wanted to hurt anyone but he also knew how protective Toni was so he would be lying if he said that he hadn't been worried. "Even better, he's still in one piece," Toni said with a laugh before patting Diego's shoulder as Ethan told him to stay safe and that they would be right there if he needed them. "Ethan's right, we're here for you," he said gently, unable to deny that he was proud of Diego for getting up and making his way out to talk to Tommy after everything that had happened. Relaxing into the empty seat that had been his brother's moments before, Antonio wrapped his arm around his husband as Ethan melted into him and his smile returned as Ethan kissed his cheek. "There's no way I could do this for a living," he chuckled as he let his head rest against Ethan's. "This is different, I don't like seeing Diego hurting," he added gently. Antonio had always been protective of Diego and that hadn't changed even now that he was older. The cold air hit Diego straight away as he headed outside and while not too long ago he would have relaxed at the sight of Tommy standing before him, now it made him feel even more tense. Toni had said that Tommy had wanted to talk to him but Diego wasn't sure what way this was going to go and that was what he hated the most. Diego studied Tommy carefully for a moment as he said that he was okay way too quickly for Diego's liking and Diego's expression turned to one of surprise as Tommy changed his answer. "What's going on?" he asked gently, hoping that perhaps he might finally be able to get some answers after all. Diego couldn't deny that he was surprised when Tommy said that he'd found the guys that had beaten him up, that was the first that Diego had heard of it but as Tommy continued explaining what had happened, Diego's face went white as he realised what had happened. "What?" he breathed, hardly able to believe what he was hearing. "Slow down and tell me exactly what happened," he said gently, his eyes fixed on Tommy as he spoke. "You said you lost control but I know you, you wouldn't have used your powers at all unless you were provoked." That was something that he was certain of because Tommy just wasn't that kind of person. He'd said before that he had wanted to kill the guys that had hurt Diego and he'd said the same thing about his ex but Diego knew that when push came to shove Tommy really wasn't capable of intentionally hurting anyone. Diego was working on processing what Tommy had just told him but then Tommy was speaking again and suddenly it made sense, all of it. Tommy hadn't just pushed him away, he had pushed away Teo and he'd apparently taken time off work as well. He had been isolating himself and now Diego finally knew why. Just hearing the way Tommy was talking was enough to make Diego's heart ache. This was his Tommy, the one that he had fallen in love with, not the Tommy that had snapped at him that day at the apartment and broken up with him. Just hearing the pain in Tommy's voice was enough to break his heart all over again but Diego knew that it was all that he'd needed to hear and so much more. All evening he had been trying to resist the urge to reach out to Tommy and pull the guy into his arms but hearing him speak was enough to have Diego's eyes sting with tears which he quickly blinked away as he saw that Tommy was crying, knowing that for once he needed to be the strong one rather than the other way around. Without giving it a second thought Diego stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Tommy, hugging him tightly as he cried. "It's okay. It's all going to be okay," Diego said, kissing the top of Tommy's head gently before he could stop himself. "You don't need to worry about me, I'm not scared to be around you because I know you would never hurt me," Diego assured him, needing Tommy to believe that as much as he did. "You're right, you did break my heart but now I know why you did it and I understand," he said gently, knowing that every word was the truth. "You wanted to protect me like you always do but the truth is I love you so much and I'm miserable without you. I don't want to live without you so I'll be whatever you need me to be if you'll let me," Diego offered as his eyes searched Tommy's, knowing that he would even just be a friend for Tommy right now if that was what he needed. He would do anything to keep Tommy in his life. "Please just let me be there for you. I don't want you going through this alone."TOMAS SILVA

─ as if the worship of a thing might be the thing that breaks it ─
Tomas took a deep breath before he released it, he could feel the chokehold that his anxiety had him under and it was almost too difficult for him to breathe properly but he knew that it would all be better if he spoke to Diego about it. Tomas gave Antonio an appreciative nod when he told him that he can do this. He watched as Antonio made his way back into the Grill, leaving him momentarily on his own.
“Hey, I couldn’t help it!” Ethan spoke up from where he was sitting next to Diego, his eyes relaxing on his husband, watching him quietly for a few moments. “Wow, see? We had nothing to worry about.” Ethan said with a grin resting on his lips as he watched Diego for a moment. God, he really hoped that Tomas wasn’t going to screw it up. Ethan had seen enough of Diego’s heartbroken face to last him a century. Seeing him so sad was honestly so heartbreaking. He hated the fact that he couldn’t do much to take that pain away because only Tommy was capable of doing that.
“Actually, you know what, I take it back. What if those sad parents start… I dunno… lusting after you or something. I’d rather not.” Ethan pointed out a moment later with a shake of his head following, his lips parting to let out a soft chuckle. “I know. Seeing him so hurt like that was honestly so awful.” Ethan glanced over at the door with a hopeful smile on his lips. “Let’s hope Tommy doesn’t make him even sadder because this whole time I’ve been a pacifist — with a few slip-ups here and there, I really shouldn’t have called out Tommy like that earlier — but if Diego comes back with a single tear, I’ll abandon my pacifist status so quickly.” Ethan really hoped that they’d be able to make up because Ethan could see how happy they both were whenever they were together. It was really sweet, actually.
“I guess they were going to shoot me, so I defended myself but I should’ve stopped there…” Tomas frowned deeply, remembering how his powers built something akin to a wall to protect him from the stray bullets. "I should've been able to stop, Diego... But I couldn't. Or maybe, I... I didn't want to. Meu Deus, there was just so much blood." My god. Tomas had tried for the longest time to keep his emotions under control because he worried that if he let his emotions take over, he might lose control all over again and it wasn't a risk he was willing to take but as he told Diego everything, he couldn't help but let his tears fall.
Tomas immediately wrapped his arms around Diego when he hugged him, his tears soaking the material of Diego's shirt as he cried quietly. "Thank you." Tomas whispered as he eventually stopped crying, his tears drying slowly but surely. "I didn't mean to cry like that." Tomas sniffed as he leaned back slightly to wipe his tears away. "You know, I was surviving just fine on my own before you came along. I had a fixed schedule. Wake up, eat, go to work, look for Teo, come back, go to bed, and repeat. I was — alive, but I wasn't living. Until you came along." Tomas said with a half-smile tugging at his lips, a small sad smile. "You and your gorgeous eyes and that adorable little voice you use when you want something. You gave my life a whole new meaning and I—" Tomas released a soft sigh as he shook his head. "I was so t—terrified of hurting you but putting distance between us hurt me so much more. It was single-handedly the stupidest decision that I ever made." Tomas' eyes lifted to settle on Diego, watching him for a few moments.
"You can be there for me. If this is what you want. But please promise me something and I know what you'll say but I need you to promise me this, please. If I hurt you or give you even the slightest impression that I will, you walk away from me, do you hear me? I don't—" Tomas' voice was small as he spoke up. "I don't want to be like your ex, Diego. Please. Pick yourself first because you're worth putting first, okay? Put yourself first and walk away."

The wait while Toni talked to Tommy really was agonising as far as Diego was concerned. He had no idea what his brother wanted to talk to him about and it seemed that Ethan didn't either which was enough to make Diego even more nervous. Toni and Ethan talked to each other about everything and he knew that if Toni hadn't told Ethan what was going on yet then it had to be because he wanted to check with Tommy first and that meant that chances were it was probably something big. "Sure you couldn't," Diego said, offering his brother-in-law a smile before rolling his eyes playfully. Diego really had expected to see Tommy walk through the door with Toni but instead Toni was on his own and Diego wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. Nodding as Toni said that Tommy was still in one piece and Ethan said that they'd had nothing to worry about, Diego couldn't deny that he was still nervous. This time Tommy wanted to talk to him but Diego didn't know if it was going to end up going well or not. He knew that there was only one way to find out, though, so he just had to suck it up and find out one way or the other. As Ethan said that he didn't want any sad parents lusting after him, Toni couldn't help but laugh. "You're cute when your jealous," he teased, an amused smile forming on his face as he looked over at his husband. "It wouldn't matter if they did, I've only got eyes for you but to be honest I'd rather they didn't as well," he added gently. Ethan was the only person he'd ever loved and he knew that wasn't going to change. He'd had other relationships along the way but none of them had ever made him feel even half of the things that his husband did so Ethan really didn't need to worry about that. "It was. I don't know if they'll get back together but at least Tommy is finally ready to talk," he nodded. He hadn't confided in his husband about his suspicions yet but Toni knew that he wanted to see if he was right first. "I hope not. Tommy's going through something right now but Diego deserves to be happy and he doesn't want that with anyone else," Toni sighed. He could definitely understand that because it was the same way he felt about Ethan but that didn't make seeing how heartbroken Diego was any easier. As Tommy said that the guys were going to shoot him, Diego's eyes widened in alarm. "They didn't hurt you, did they?" he asked, immediately concerned about Tommy. As Tommy said he couldn't stop or perhaps he didn't want to, Diego's expression softened. "I'm going to tell you the same thing you told me when all that happened with my ex - it was self-defence. You tried to arrest them and they knew you were a cop but they tried to kill you. They beat me up and left me for dead just because I'm gay, who knows who else they've hurt or killed?" he said, hoping that Tommy would see the logic behind his words. "I know it doesn't help take away any of the guilt but you used your powers to defend yourself and they wouldn't have let that go. They're just like my ex was, they would have hunted you down and if they'd known about the supernatural then they would have been even more dangerous," he added. People like that were sadistic, they wanted to bring as much pain to others as they could and Diego knew that they wouldn't have changed. "I know you didn't mean to kill them but they wouldn't have stopped so the world is a better place without them in it."For the first time in what felt like a long time Diego pulled Tommy into his arms and the hole that had formed in his heart slowly started to heal a little as Tommy wrapped his arms around him in return. Diego held him tightly as he cried, letting him get it all out of his system. "You have nothing to thank me for, it sounds like you needed it," he said gently. Tommy's next words were enough to make Diego's heart ache and he wasn't sure where Tommy was going with it until he said that he was alive but not really living until Diego came along. "Yeah, it was," he agreed as Tommy said that putting distance between them was the stupidest decision he'd ever made, bringing his hand up and letting it rest lightly against Tommy's cheek. "You did the same for me, I was surviving but I was terrified when you came along. You showed me that not everyone is like my ex and that there are some incredible people out there in the world. I never knew anything could ever hurt so much until I lost you," he said, his eyes locked on Tommy's as he spoke. "You're without a doubt the best thing I have in my life and I don't want to do any of this without you. If you're not ready to get back together I understand, I can wait for as long as you need," Diego said, knowing that it was somewhat ironic considering that Tommy had said something very similar to him after that first night they spent together. As Tommy said that he could be there for him if it was what he wanted, Diego nodded. "It is, more than anything," he confirmed before frowning at Tommy's next words. Without even thinking about it he brought his hands up and let them rest against Tommy's cheeks. "You are nothing like that man," he said fiercely, his eyes locked on Tommy's as he spoke. "You're the most incredible guy I've ever met and I already know that I can't stop myself loving you but if you need me to I'll promise to try and leave if that ever happens, only because I know you would never hurt me," Diego said, hoping that would be good enough for Tommy. "I'll make that promise but only if you make me a promise in return. Never push me away like that again, I can't take it."TOMAS SILVA

─ as if the worship of a thing might be the thing that breaks it ─
Ethan rolled his eyes fondly at Toni's teasing words. His expression turned into one of curiosity at the mention of Tomas going through something. He released a small hum before his attention drifted to the door, bottom lip caught between his teeth momentarily before he forced himself to be present instead and keep both the fire and police department occupied long enough that none of Tomas' colleagues would get the idea to look for Tomas upon realizing that he wasn't present with them anymore.
Tomas shook his head slowly when he registered Diego's question. "I'm fine." Tomas assured him, his voice surprisingly small. His eyes slowly lifted to settle on Diego as he listened to him silently. He knew that Diego had a point. They were dangerous people and clearly capable of hurting people, so maybe he did save others by stopping those guys but he wished he had done that by putting them behind bars instead because that was his job. He sure as hell didn't get a promotion to play the new God or something like that, he shouldn't decide who gets to live or die and that was the part that was eating him up from the inside.
Tomas finally leaned back from the hug and wiped his tears away, removing the wet tracks on his cheeks as he released a soft sigh. "Yeah... maybe." Tomas mumbled, knowing it would be safer for everyone involved if he kept his emotions under control, so he finally stopped crying. His eyes soon relaxed on Diego as he registered his words, his lips stretching to form a small smile. "I used to say the same thing to you back then." Tomas pointed out. He really did appreciate Diego even more for saying that. But he was ready. He can't stay without Diego another second longer.
Tomas' eyes softened as he listened to Diego, his smile returning to his lips as he nodded his head, glad to hear that. "I want that too. More than anything." The way Diego defended him was incredibly sweet. He seemed to have so much faith when Tomas barely had any left. It was appreciated, to say the least. "Thank you." Tomas said with a small smile resting on his lips. "Try to leave, huh?" Tomas shook his head with a fond expression. "I'll take it."
Tomas tilted his head slightly to the side as he listened to Diego before his lips stretched to form a small smile. "I promise." Tomas added a moment later. "You don't have to wait on me, by the way. I'm ready to get back together with you, Diego. If you're one hundred percent sure that this is what you want."

Diego would be lying if he said that Tommy finding the men that had attacked him didn’t scare him because Diego knew exactly what they were capable of. They had tried to beaten him and left him for dead just because they didn’t like the fact that he was gay and they were willing to kill a cop rather than go to jail. There was no telling what else they were capable of and if he was honest Diego couldn’t help but feel that they were better off now that they were gone. They were certainly much safer and now they didn’t have to worry about Tommy’s secret being exposed either. “I’m so glad,” he admitted as Tommy said that he was fine. Just the thought of the men hurting Tommy was enough to make Diego feel sick to his stomach and he really was glad that they hadn’t managed to do that. “I know nothing will change what happened but I know you’ll get through this,” Diego said gently. He still felt guilty about the fact that he’d killed his ex so he knew how Tommy felt. He wasn’t sure if that guilt would ever truly go away but all either of them could do was learn from what had happened and make sure that it never happened again. “You’re not a bad person Tommy,” he added, the shortened version of his name escaping Diego’s lips while they were together for the first time since they’d broken up. It was a relief to see that Tommy had stopped crying because Diego hated seeing him upset and as he said he used to say the same thing to him, Diego felt a smile touch his lips as he nodded. “I know you did. You meant it then and I mean it now,” Diego assured him, knowing that he would wait as long as he needed to. Diego knew that he wanted to be there for Tommy, he had hated the way Tommy had pushed him away but now he finally understood why he had done. As he said that he wanted Diego to be there for him more than anything too, Diego felt a smile touch his lips. “Then it looks like you’re stuck with me. You’re not doing this alone anymore,” he said gently. Diego really didn’t know how Tommy had coped dealing with all of this on his own for so long but now he didn’t have to and Diego knew that he wasn’t going to let Tommy push him away again if he could help it. As he spoke again, Diego shrugged. “I can’t promise to leave if anything like that does happen because I’m not sure I’d actually be able to go through with it, the best I can offer is to try,” he said, relieved when Tommy said that he would take it. That really was the best that he could offer but Diego knew that he needed something in return from Tommy. It had hurt so much when Tommy had pushed him away and Diego knew that he couldn’t go through that again so he was glad when Diego promised that he wouldn’t push him away like that again. “I’m going to hold you to that,” Diego said, knowing that he needed Tommy to stick to that promise. Tommy’s next words were enough to surprise Diego but he felt a smile touch his lips as he nodded. “It’s all I’ve wanted since we broke up. There is no me without you,” he said, bringing his hands up and letting them rest against Tommy’s cheeks before leaning forward and kissing him passionately, finally feeling the hole in his heart heal the moment he felt Tommy’s lips against his once more. “You have no idea how much I’ve missed you,” he said, letting his forehead rest against Tommy’s for a moment. “I love you,” he breathed, unable to deny that it felt good being able to say that again without feeling guilty about it. “I wish we could stay out here but we should probably head back inside soon, I imagine they’ll notice we’ve gone soon.” Truth be told Diego wanted nothing more than for it to stay just the two of them but he really wouldn’t be surprised if the others ended up sending a search party to look for them and he knew that Toni and Ethan would want to know how it went.

─ as if the worship of a thing might be the thing that breaks it ─
Tomas’ lips stretched to form a soft smile at Diego’s response when he told him that he was so glad that he was doing fine. His eyes relaxed on Diego as he nodded his head slowly. “I know.” He knew that he won’t feel like this forever and it only hurt because it was all so fresh. He just hoped that with time, he will hate himself less for taking the lives of those assholes. They were awful people and Tomas knew that but it still didn’t make it hurt any less. He wondered if Diego felt the same way after taking his ex’s life. Tomas’ expression softened at Diego’s words. “Thank you.” He said in a soft tone of his voice. “I know. It’s just crazy how things come full circle.” Tomas said with a breathless chuckle following.
“Wouldn’t want to have it any other way.” Tomas said with a half-smile forming on his lips when Diego told him that he was stuck with him. “I know.” Tomas said with a softened expression. He knew it was a lot to ask of Diego, he just didn’t want to become like Diego’s ex. A true monster. He just hoped it won’t come to that. He will also work on himself a lot harder because he didn’t want to risk ever hurting Diego. He won’t be able to come back from that easily.
Tomas looked relieved as he listened to Diego and when he felt Diego’s hands rest on his cheeks, he felt his heart speed up in anticipation for the feeling of Diego’s lips against his own. When their lips did press together, he let out a soft sigh into Diego’s mouth as he responded to the kiss almost immediately as his hands moved to rest on Diego’s hips slowly.
“I’ve missed you so much more.” Tomas admitted in a soft voice, his eyes momentarily closing as he allowed himself to just stand there, Diego’s forehead pressed against his own. Their close proximity healed a part of him that had been broken ever since they parted ways. “I love you, meu amor.” my love. Tomas took a deep breath before he finally leaned back a little when Diego said that they should head back inside. “Yeah, they’ll start a whole search party, we shouldn’t really test them.” Tomas said with a breathless chuckle falling from his lips. “I missed work once and came back to find them printing missing person’s papers, so they’re very quick to react.” But then again, they knew that Tomas was very passionate about his work and had never missed a day ever since he moved here but with everything that has happened lately, he felt no desire to work and even had his resignation papers resting on his desk but he couldn’t find it in him to hand them in.
“C’mon.” Tomas started walking before he quickly seemed to realize something and made his way back to his boyfriend. “We’re together now, I don’t need to hold back.” He reached for Diego’s hand to hold it in his own, smiling to himself. “I missed doing that.” He lifted his hand to press a gentle kiss on his knuckles before he started making his way after making sure that Diego was ready too. The second he opened the door, he felt countless eyes rest on him. Tomas blinked a few times as he lifted his hand in an awkward wave, accidentally lifting the one holding Diego’s hand which got countless ‘awww’s from nearly everyone at the table. “They’re holding hands! My heart, ah, my heart is about to burst.” Tomas heard one of his colleagues say as she dramatically pressed her hand against her chest. “Okay, uh, you guys are being a little too dramatic, can you please tone it down just a notch?” Tomas asked, the same awkward expression still resting on his face, though there was a smile beginning to form on his lips already. A genuine one. “Wow, it’s night time but it feels like the sun is shining! Oh, wait, it’s Tomas’ smile! You have no idea how long we’ve been waiting to see that!” Another dramatic colleague of his butted in and Tomas’ smile fell again, his awkward expression only intensifying.
“Wedding details, now, asap, I need to start planning my outfit. I need to coordinate with my girlfriend! C’mon, details, now. Diego, please, tell me.” Tomas’ colleague questioned and it really didn’t take long at all for them to bring up the wedding, huh? “Okay, um, maybe don’t start grilling my boyfriend with questions yet? We haven’t planned any of that yet. C’mon, uh, drinks on me?” And the mention of free drinks made some of them cheer and just like that, they forgot all about the wedding. Momentarily, at least. He knew that it won’t last for long anyway.

Diego hadn’t realised that Tommy was going through something so awful but now he couldn’t help but feel like he should have known that there was something going on. Tommy had started pushing him away and Diego hadn’t known why, the only thing that had made sense was that Tommy had regretted staying with him after he’d killed his ex and when Diego had asked him if that was the reason, Tommy hadn’t corrected him. Now Diego knew why he hadn’t done and he couldn’t help but regret the amount of wasted time they’d had but he knew that he wanted to make up for it now. As Tommy said he knew that he would get through this, a half smile tugged at the corner of Diego’s lips. “Just remember you’re not along anymore. Any time it gets too much just tell me.” Diego hated that Tommy had been trying to deal with this on his own, Diego had at least had Tommy and his family to help him after he’d killed his ex but Tommy had isolated himself and Diego knew that Tommy deserved so much better. “It is,” he nodded, his smile turning into a genuine one at the sound of Tommy’s laugh. It had been too long since he had heard that and the truth was that he had missed it. “Neither would I,” Diego admitted as Tommy said that he wouldn’t have it any other way than being stuck with him. Diego knew what it was like to live without Tommy now and he knew that he didn’t want to go through that again. He could understand why Tommy had wanted him to make that promise but Diego just couldn’t make a promise that he wasn’t sure he would be able to keep. The best he could do was to offer what he had done and he was glad that Tommy was happy to go along with it and that he was happy to promise that he wouldn’t push Diego away like that again in return. Diego could already feel his heart racing as he leaned in to kiss Tommy and he found himself smiling into the kiss as Tommy sighed and his hands found Diego’s hips. He really hadn’t thought that they would get to do this again and he knew that from now on he would cherish every moment they had together and every kiss they shared. “That’s not possible,” Diego assured him as Tommy said that he had missed him so much more. Diego hadn’t even known that it was possible to miss someone as much as he’d missed Tommy and he knew that he didn’t want to ever feel that way again. Tommy had broken his heart when he’d broken up with him but now Diego felt like his heart was finally whole again once more and he had Tommy to thank for that. As Tommy said that he loved him, Diego felt a smile touch his lips as his hand rested against his boyfriend’s cheek. “I know,” he said, knowing that he was never going to doubt that Tommy loved him again. “Why am I not surprised? They do tend to have a habit of overreacting but it’s good to know that they care about you that much,” he chuckled. Truth be told Diego knew that his own colleagues weren’t much better either and he knew that Toni and Ethan would be dying to find out what had happened as well. Nodding as Tommy started leading the way inside, Diego was about to follow him but he paused when Diego returned to him and he felt a smile touch his lips. “You never need to hold back with me,” Diego assured him, giving Tommy’s hand a gentle squeeze before feeling his cheeks flush red as Tommy kissed his knuckles. “I’ve missed it too,” he admitted, using his free hand to cup Tommy’s cheek and stealing another kiss because he needed to feel Tommy’s lips against his once again before they headed inside together. Once they were inside Tommy lifted their joined hands to wave to everyone and Diego couldn’t help but laugh at the reaction of Tommy’s colleague. Moments later a genuine smile formed on Tommy’s face but that was soon gone when another person spoke up. “They’re only being like this because they’ve missed the real you almost as much as I have,” Diego said, offering Tommy a smile as he looked over at him. Diego’s own colleagues looked a little confused to begin with but Diego offered them a nod and that was enough for them to realise that the two of them were back together and soon enough they were all smiling, clearly happy for the two of them. “Not yet?” Diego asked in a low voice, his smile widening as he looked over at Tommy. They had only just gotten back together and even before they had never really talked about getting married but the truth was that Diego had started looking at rings before they’d broken up so he would be lying as she said that he hadn’t thought about it and he was curious as to whether Tommy had as well. “Tommy’s right, all in good time,” Diego grinned as he looked over at the person who had asked. They all seemed to be happy about the idea of free drinks and it was while the others were distracted that Toni and Ethan made their way over to them. “Looks like the two of you worked things out, we’re so happy for you,” Toni said and Diego could see that his brother wasn’t just happy, he was also relieved. “I don’t know what you and Tommy talked about but thank you. Whatever you said got us talking and none of this would have been possible without you,” he said as he looked over at his brother, Tommy’s hand still firmly clasped in his. Diego didn’t need to know what his brother and Tommy had talked about because that was between the two of them but it had made Tommy open up to him and Diego knew that he would be forever grateful for that.

─ as if the worship of a thing might be the thing that breaks it ─
Tomas nodded his head in an understanding manner when Diego told him that he wasn’t alone anymore and to tell him if it gets too much for him to handle. “I know.” Tomas was definitely glad that he had managed to find the courage he needed to tell Diego the truth about what had happened that night. He felt a soft smile form on his lips at Diego’s next words, chuckling when he told him that it wasn’t possible that he had missed him so much more. “Yeah, their overbearing behavior comes from a good place, so I never really held it against them.” Tomas said with a small smile forming on his lips.
“I know.” Tomas said, his voice remaining soft as he spoke. “It’s just gonna take me a moment to remember that we aren’t broken up anymore.” He added a moment later and when Diego told him that he had missed it too, he couldn’t help the way his expression softened. He could tell that his colleagues really were happy for him and he knew that Diego had a point. “Almost, hm?” Tomas questioned in a teasing voice, his eyes relaxing on Diego once again.
“Not yet.” Tomas repeated, his smile still present on his lips, knowing what he had said all too well. “Mhm. There’s no rush. We’ll take it one step at a time.” He said with a quick nod of his head following. Tomas was pretty glad that the offer of free drinks had managed to distract most of them and finally, the onslaught of questions seemed to come to a halt, giving him some room to breathe.
His expression drifted over to Antonio and Ethan upon noticing that they were making their way over to them. He offered them a gentle smile as he listened to what Antonio had to say. “Thank you.” Tomas’ expression was an appreciative one but since Diego was with him, he couldn’t bring up the fact that what Antonio had said had helped him greatly. He just hoped that his expression conveyed how much he appreciated Antonio’s words.
“I think that this deserves a celebration. C’mon, let’s get some drinks.” Ethan suggested with a grin tugging at his lips. “And don’t worry, it’s on me this time. I was a real douche to you earlier, I’m sorry about that.” Ethan added a moment later, his voice was gentle as he spoke. “It’s okay. I know that it came from a good place and that you were just looking out for Diego.” Tomas said with a nod of his head following, his smile evident on his lips as he spoke.
“You’re a good guy, Tommy. Just don’t break his heart again or—” Ethan didn’t get to finish his sentence when Tomas chuckled and butted in. “You’ll turn me to ashes?” Tomas finished for him. “Don’t worry, I don’t plan on doing this ever again.” He added a moment later and it seemed to please Ethan greatly who clapped him on the back and gestured for the waitress to get them some much-needed refills.

Diego really hoped that Tommy would tell him if it ended up getting too much, Diego wanted nothing more than to be there for his boyfriend and he hoped that Tommy would let him. Diego hated that Tommy had been trying to do this on his own for such a long time but it didn’t have to be like that now, now they were back together and Diego knew that he wanted it to stay that way. “I don’t think it’s possible to hold anything against them,” Diego chuckled. “They’re all good people and they mean well,” he added with a grin. “I should tell you that I told my colleagues that we broke up so if they look a little confused then that will be why,” he said gently. “I didn’t want to tell them but they knew I was upset so I had to,” he added with a shrug. He hadn’t been able to keep it from them and he had known that it would have made things awkward if he’d tried and they’d then overheard him talking to his brother and Ethan so it had seemed like the best thing to do was to come clean. “Don’t worry, they won’t say anything to yours,” Diego assured him, knowing that they would keep it to themselves. “I know what you mean but it feels so good to be back together,” Diego admitted. He had known that he hadn’t wanted to move on with anyone else after Tommy broke up with him, there was only one person he wanted to be with and that person was now holding his hand. In time he hoped that the time they had spent apart would feel like nothing but a distant memory but he knew that only time would tell. “Almost,” he nodded. “They’d never miss you as much as I did.” He knew that was true, none of them felt the way he did about Tommy. Diego loved him with every fibre of his being and that was never going to change. Diego couldn’t deny that he was surprised when Tommy told his colleagues that they hadn’t planned any of that yet when they mentioned the two of them getting married but it was enough to make his heart skip a beat. “We will but for the record I do want all of that with you one day,” Diego admitted. He had thought about marrying Tommy before they broke up and now he couldn’t deny that Tommy’s colleagues had put that idea in his head once more but Diego knew that they had plenty of time, they had their whole lives ahead of them. A smile touched Diego’s lips as Toni nodded when Tommy thanked him. There seemed to be something unsaid passing between them but whatever it was Diego was still grateful for whatever it was that Toni had said to Tommy. Tommy had promised to talk to him after he’d explained everything to Diego and Toni honestly hoped that he would keep to his word. Toni didn’t plan on keeping the truth from Diego, he hadn’t told him about what he had done in the past yet but he didn’t expect Tommy to keep it a secret from Diego either so he wasn’t worried about that and he trusted Tommy to keep it from everyone else. “We’re always going to look out for him,” Toni nodded. He had always been protective of Diego despite the age gap between the two of them and he couldn’t deny that he found it incredibly cute that Ethan was protective of him too. “You’d better not. Don’t forget we know where you live,” Toni added although there was no malice in his words. He and Ethan had both seen more than enough of Diego with his heartbroken so they didn’t want that to happen again. “Don’t worry, Tommy has promised he won’t push me away like that again and I believe him,” Diego nodded, taking the drinks from the waitress when she returned with them and passing them around to their little group. “Tonight has turned out so much better than I expected.”TOMAS SILVA

Tomas nodded his head in agreement with Diego because he did feel the same way about his colleagues. They were overbearing at times but he never really held it against them because he knew that all their worry came from a good place and they also really cared about him. "Oh, it's okay, you don't have to explain why you did it." Tomas assured him with a nod of his head. "Noted, though. I'll keep that in mind." He said with a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "It's fine, really." Tomas' shoulders lifted and dropped in a quick shrug, his smile still present on his lips. He didn't mind at all that Diego had told his colleagues that they were no longer together. He was just regretting all the pain that he had put his boyfriend through.
"It really does." Tomas said with the same smile still visible on his lips. "That's really adorable." Tomas said with a chuckle falling from his lips not long after. "I missed you too, Diego. So much."
"I know, baby. We have a future planned, don't we?" Tomas said with a small smile on his lips. He could easily remember the future that they had planned together. The house, the dogs, having kids, and just building their own little family.
Tomas held his hands in a mock surrender gesture when Antonio reminded him that they know where he lives. "I'll take good care of him, I promise." Tomas said with a chuckle falling from his lips as he lowered his hands down. His eyes moved to rest on Diego, feeling a smile form on his lips when Diego said that he had believed him when he promised to never push him away again. "Yeah, it really took a turn for the better." He was feeling so much better than before, no longer looking gloomy. Tomas thanked the waitress and soon reached out for his drink to have a quick sip, enjoying the pleasant atmosphere that was nowhere near the one from before. He was really glad that tonight had played out in his favor. It was everything he could ask for and more.

“I know but I needed you to understand,” Diego admitted. He didn’t want there to be any secrets between them, not anymore and he knew that he didn’t want things to become awkward for them that night either. After he’d learned that Tommy had kept the fact that they had broken up from his colleagues Diego had sworn his own colleagues to secrecy. Diego knew that Tommy’s colleagues had meant well so he didn’t hold it against them at all and he knew that his colleagues would be so happy to see that they were back together as well. “They’re going to be so surprised but I know they’ll be happy we’re back together,” Diego said, a smile touching his lips as he looked over at Tommy. Before they broke up everyone he worked with had kept saying how perfect they were together and Diego had always agreed with them. It hadn’t make sense to any of them why Tommy had broken up with him and it hadn’t made sense to Diego either but now he understood and those wounds could finally start to heal. Diego had been miserable the whole time he and Tommy were apart but now that was already starting to feel like a distant memory. It felt good to be able to hold his hand like this and to be able to kiss him again, Diego had missed both of those things so much and he knew that he didn’t want to have to find out what it was like to live without Tommy again. “It’s the truth. None of them feel the way I do about you and that’s a good thing,” Diego chuckled, knowing that he would have fought them off if he’d had to. “I hope we never have to feel that way again,” he admitted gently. Diego knew that he had made Tommy a promise but he really did trust Tommy not to hurt him so Diego was confident that he would never have to follow through with it. As Tommy pointed out that they had a future planned out, Diego felt his smile return as he nodded. “You’re right, we do,” he nodded as he brought his free hand up and let it rest gently against Tommy’s cheek. “I can’t wait to start that future with you.” They had both been searching for houses when they broke up and even though Diego wasn’t sure whether Tommy would want to take any time before resuming the search, Diego knew that now he would continue looking for the perfect place at least. Diego still wanted all of that with Tommy and he knew that he didn’t want to waste any time in at least taking that first step. Diego couldn’t stop his smile from widening as Tommy held his hands up and promised that he would take good care of him. “You’d better,” Toni chuckled, knowing that the last thing he wanted was for Diego to end up getting hurt like that again. He had hated seeing his brother that way and it wasn’t something that he ever wanted to happen again. “It did,” Diego agreed as Tommy said that the evening took a turn for the better. Taking his glass from the waitress Diego took a sip and before he knew it they were all enjoying being around the people they worked with in a way they hadn’t been able to do so before. Sometime later Diego gave his boyfriend’s hand a gentle squeeze and lifted his gaze to meet Tommy’s. “It’s getting late. Do you want to stick around for a bit longer or shall we get going?”TOMAS SILVA

Tomas nodded his head with a small smile on his lips. "Okay." No wonder he had spotted most of them looking his way. Now he understands the purpose behind those looks. "I'm happy to know that you have a team who cares about you and your happiness." Tomas said with a genuine smile stretching his lips.
"Oh, definitely a good thing." Tomas agreed with a chuckle falling from his lips not long after, finding it all absolutely adorable, really. He couldn't help but agree again with Diego because that was something he didn't want to experience twice. It was ─ difficult, to put it simply. Honestly, Tomas couldn't wait to start that future with Diego. He couldn't wait to experience it all with his boyfriend, especially since they had wasted enough time being away from each other. "It's going to be great." He said with a soft smile resting on his lips.
Tomas chuckled at Antonio's words, knowing well that he won't disappoint them again or break his promise. He had done it once and it sucked. Terribly. He was really happy that today had taken a turn for the better because, before that, he was feeling absolutely terrible. Now, he felt like a whole weight had been pushed off his shoulders and he appreciated it. Greatly.
Tomas enjoyed the presence of his friends and colleagues and for a while, they drank and chatted until Diego's voice brought his attention to him as he tilted his head slightly to the side in a questioning manner, his hand naturally holding onto Diego's. He glanced at his wristwatch before releasing a soft 'oh' under his breath. He had barely felt the time move. "Let's get going." Tomas said with a small smile resting on his lips. Once his boyfriend was ready to get going, Tomas announced to the group that they'll be heading off first, telling them that he will see them tomorrow at work. "Okay, uh, my place is kinda a mess right now, sorry 'bout that in advance but turns out, post-breakup me can't clean to save his life." Tomas pointed out with a chuckle falling from his lips. "I'll take care of it in the morning. Tonight though, I wanna fall asleep with you in my arms."

Diego knew that he could have lied to his colleagues about the fact that he and Tommy had broken up but he had known deep down that he couldn’t keep it from them. They were an extension of his family and they had known that something was wrong so he’d had to tell them but he knew that they were going to be over the moon for the two of them now that they were back together. “They do, they’re my family,” he nodded, a fond smile touching his lips as he spoke. “I know they’ll become yours too with how much time you always used to spend at the firehouse.”“I’m glad you think so,” Diego chuckled as Tommy agreed that it was a good thing that the people Tommy worked with didn’t feel the same way about him that Diego did. “Although if I had to fight off a load of guys who were into you, I would,” he added with a grin even though he knew that his words were actually serious. He hadn’t fought for what he and Tommy had when Tommy had broken up with him because it had seemed like that was really what Tommy had wanted but now Diego knew that he would fight as hard as he had to for them. “It’s going to be perfect,” Diego said, his smile softening as he looked over at his boyfriend. Diego knew how close he had come to never having that future with Tommy and he never wanted to go through that again so he wanted to make the most of their time together. Diego knew that his brother and Ethan were protective of him and he loved them for it but they also knew just how much he had wanted to patch things up with Tommy so he knew that they were happy for him. He had no idea what his brother had said to Tommy but whatever it was it had made him change his mind about not being with him so Diego knew that he was always going to be grateful to his brother for that. Now they were both able to enjoy their time with their colleagues and Diego hadn’t even realised how late it was getting until he glanced at the clock. He knew that he wouldn’t mind staying for a bit longer if that was what Tommy wanted to do but if he was honest he had been surrounded by so many people for such a long time that day that he liked the idea of having Tommy to himself for the rest of the evening. Tommy’s hand was still clasped in his own as Tommy checked his watch and Diego nodded as he said that they should get going. Saying goodbye to his brother, Ethan and their colleagues and promising to catch up with them tomorrow, Diego headed outside with Tommy and he couldn’t help but laugh as his boyfriend spoke. “Don’t worry, I’m not worried about a bit of mess,” he chuckled, knowing that right now that was the last thing in his mind. “I’m surprised to hear you say that though, you’re normally so meticulous,” he added as he gave Tommy’s hand a gentle squeeze. As Tommy spoke again, Diego’s expression softened. “I’ll help you take care of it in the morning, don’t worry,” he assured him. “I want that too, I never sleep as well when you’re not with me,” Diego admitted. There was just something about Tommy’s presence that made him feel so loved and so safe and he had missed waking up next to him in the mornings. “Before we do that, though, I want to show you just how much I’ve missed you,” he added, his smile turning mischievous as he pulled them to a stop and cupped Tommy’s cheek with his free hand before leaning forward and kissing him passionately to give him an idea of what he meant.

─ as if the worship of a thing might be the thing that breaks it ─
Tomas felt a soft smile form on his lips when he called them his family. He was pretty happy that Diego had something like that in his life because he deserved it. He deserved to be surrounded by people who cared about him and his well-being. "I have no doubt about that." Tomas said with a soft smile forming on his lips. "I do love dropping by to see you and to eat the food that you guys make. It's very delicious." Tomas added a moment later with a chuckle falling from his lips not long after, knowing that he had dropped by enough times ever since he had started seeing Diego to see his boyfriend and to spend time with him.
Tomas felt a grin stretch his lips as he processed Diego's words. "Oh, I've definitely noticed the look you gave the bartender earlier. I had to contain myself not to kiss you right then and there." Tomas admitted with a half-smile resting on his lips, his eyes focused solely on his boyfriend, watching him quietly without saying much at first as he ran his tongue over the surface of his bottom lip, wetting it. "It goes without saying that I would one hundred do the same thing, too." Tomas added a moment later, wanting Diego to know that he felt the exact same way. Tomas' eyes softened at Diego's words as he nodded his head in agreement. He was really relieved that they were back on track to make that dream come true.
Tomas smiled, glad to hear Diego say that. He had been so consumed by his own emotions that he couldn't find the energy or the time to clean up his apartment. "Oh yeah, I definitely am. I guess I couldn't find the energy for it." Tomas explained. He usually kept his apartment clean without a speck of dust anywhere, not even in the corners that are difficult to reach. He wasn't a clean-freak by no means, but he loved being in a clean environment. His desk at work was the same, too. But recently, he started organizing and cleaning less and less. God knows his desk at work looks like a hurricane had rushed through it. It was definitely, uh, a mess. "Thanks, babe." Tomas said with a half-smile forming on his lips. At Diego's admittance, his eyes softened as he nodded his head to let Diego know that he felt exactly the same way, too. Falling asleep without Diego was hard. Too hard in fact that he'd often toss and turn for hours before finally falling asleep only to be rudely awakened by his nightmares.
Tomas tilted his head in a curious manner when Diego told him that he wanted to show him just how much he had missed him. He soon understood what the other was hinting at when he leaned forward to close the gap between their lips, the contact of their lips making Tomas release a soft gasp. He returned the passionate kiss with ease, his hands moving to cup his cheeks. "I absolutely cannot wait for you to show me, then." Tomas whispered against his lips as he left a quick peck on them before he leaned back, his smile still evident on his lips. Suddenly, Tomas was very eager to get back home.
As soon as they reached his door, Tomas brought Diego close to him again by gently cupping his cheeks so he could close the distance between them again, having waited enough time as he finally caved in.

Diego had always had friends while he was growing up but the truth was that he had never felt like he really fit in anywhere. Perhaps it was because he was a dragon or perhaps it was because he had spent such a long time trying to come to terms with his sexuality. He had spent years in denial about who he really was because he hadn’t wanted to let his family down but now he was free to be himself and it was like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders to say the least. There were always going to be those like the guys that had attacked him who wouldn’t like him because he was gay but the people he worked with didn’t care, they accepted him for who he was and they cared about him and he knew that he was lucky to have them. “I wouldn’t have it any other way,” he admitted. They were human so he wasn’t able to truly be himself with them, not like he was with Tommy, but he had found where he belonged. “I’m glad you didn’t just say you stop by to eat the food,” Diego teased, a playful smile touching his lips as he looked over at his boyfriend remembering that at first he’d used his brother’s cooking as an excuse to invite Tommy over to the firehouse. “Now we’re back together you’ll have to start coming around again. I know none of them wanted to say it but they’ve missed you too.”As Tommy mentioned the look Diego had given the bartender earlier, Diego’s cheeks flushed red. “You weren’t meant to see that,” he admitted, using his free hand to rub the back of his neck. He couldn’t deny that he had felt so jealous when he had realised that the bartender was flirting with Tommy and it had taken all of his self-restraint to hold himself back. “I wouldn’t have argued if you had but I understand why you didn’t,” he said gently. It all made sense now, Tommy had been doing his best to protect him but Diego knew that Tommy was more than worth the risk. As Tommy said that he would do the same thing, Diego felt a smile touch his lips. “I know you would, I’ve seen how willing you are to fight for us.” He had seen it time and time again even before they got together and he could see that it hadn’t changed. “I know what you mean, I haven’t really wanted to do anything outside of work since then either,” Diego admitted. He really hadn’t been in the mood to socialise or anything like that and the truth was that he’d only gone to the Grill that day because his captain had insisted they all go but this time he was glad that he had done. “Of course,” he said, a smile touching his lips as Tommy thanked him. He knew that there was no way that he was going to let Tommy clean up the place on his own while he was there and able to help, Diego wanted to help. It was incredible to think that earlier that day he was miserable thinking about the future he was never going to get to have with Tommy but now everything had changed and Diego knew that he wanted to cherish every moment. He hadn’t been able to sleep properly ever since Tommy broke up with him but now things were back to being the way they should be and the truth was that he was looking forward to falling asleep in Tommy’s arms. Diego could see that Tommy was curious when Diego said that he wanted to show Tommy how much he had missed him but Diego was quick to kiss his boyfriend and from the way Tommy gasped before returning the kiss it was clear that Tommy understood what he had been getting at. “Neither can I,” he said, leaning into Tommy’s touch before feeling a smile form on his face as Tommy pecked his lips once more before leaning back. It didn’t take them long to reach Tommy’s place and before the door was even open Tommy was reaching for him and pulling him close, Diego’s hands finding Tommy’s waist as he kissed his boyfriend back. “I. Love. You,” he said between kisses, not even caring that they were still technically outside at the moment so anyone could see them. All he could think about was Tommy and how much Diego wanted to show him that he had missed him. TOMAS SILVA
