Aidan knocked on the door and shoved his hands in his pockets to stop fidgeting. He didn't usually pick up the phone and request an impromptu visit, but dammit, he had to do something. His frustration bordered on unbearable, and if anyone could guide him on what to do, he could only think of one person he trusted enough for this type of chat.

"Hey," Ty said, opening the door. "Come on in."

"Sorry it's so late." Aidan walked into his old condo, now home to Ty and Cole. The place actually looked lived in and welcoming. A far cry from the fuck-off vibe that had vibrated from the walls when he'd lived there.

"It's okay. Cole's wrapping up some work so he's running a little late. Do you want something to drink?"

"I'm fine," Aidan said, walking over to the window, enjoying the bird's eye view under the evening sky. He loved this side of his city, the one that blanketed all the darkness in shadows and accentuated each right angle and curve of cityscape elegance with a twinkle or transition of light. He looked over to the glass curio in the corner at the items on display. "I'm never getting my bullet collection back, am I?"

"Hell no!" Ty walked up to the glass enclosure displaying a collection of small model cars Ty had gathered over the years. He stood in front of the case and stared at the three dozen bullets showcased on a single shelf, sorted by size ranging from a .22 long rifle up to a .50 caliber machine gun round which looked like a tiny torpedo. Some were from guns Aidan had shot during his time in service, others collected because, well, bullets were cool as hell to look at, as long as the target was elsewhere.

He sighed. He should have packed them up when he moved out.

Ty turned with a shy smile. "I always think of you when I see them."

Okay, fine. He could keep the damn things. "How much time do I have before Cole gets here?"

"I'm guessing you've got about fifteen, twenty minutes tops. He already wrapped up the meeting with Drayton with the contracts for the test track use so he's on his way back already."

Aidan nodded. He could keep this short and sweet and escape before Cole wormed his way into the conversation. His brother led him to the couch and encouraged him to take a seat.

"What's up?"

Aidan rubbed the back of his neck, not really sure what or how much to say. But if he wanted to have this chat and escape before Cole arrived, he had to spit it out. "How do you do it?" He exhaled heavily and kept rubbing the back of his neck. "How do you open yourself up to Cole without falling apart?"

Ty's expression softened and looked about a step away from reaching out to give him a hug. "Cole makes it easy for me." He shifted on the couch and turned his body to the side to face Aidan.
