 Dr. Elliot Grant snagged this snazzy apartment just days after moving into town and hired some random chick to decorate it. Not bad, dontcha think?

"A doctor is the perfect cover..."Elliot let out a sigh of relief as they finally pulled into his apartment building's parking lot. " Took f--king long enough," he grumbled, parking in his usual parking space and stopping the car. " Can you reach into the glovebox and get the package out?" he asked the younger male to do as he reached into the back and grabbed the groceries and his cell phone. "... for a man without any morals."................................................................................

 Flint just snickered as he pulled out the package. As he lifted the parcel, the hidden picture from earlier fell to the floorboard.
Flint picked it up and stared at it quizzically, "This... you and your dad?"

"A doctor is the perfect cover..."" What are you talking about?" he asked, pulling the things to the front. He set them on his lap and looked over, eyes growing wide at the picture in Flint's hands. Swallowing back the lump in his throat, the man looked away and pulled the keys from the car. " YEah, it is," was his only answer before standing out of the car and letting the door close. He wouldn't let those wounds be reopened. Not today. "... for a man without any morals." ................................................................................

"Ah..." the discomfort Grant was going through was very clear very fast. Flint just nodded and placed the picture back in the glovebox without another word.
He followed the doctor quietly hoping the bad feelings would pass if he let that picture go.

"A doctor is the perfect cover..."The silence was unbearable. Elliot was already dying by the time they got into the elevator, breaking the silence the only way he knew how. " That picture was taken just a few months before he died at war," he explained softly, looking into the reflective wall at himself. " Sorry if seeing it made things a little awkward. I should've gotten rid of that old photo years ago." "... for a man without any morals." ................................................................................

"Oh... I had no idea. I'm sorry," Flint was grateful for the break in silence, "I'm fine, I'm just sorry I upset you."

"A doctor is the perfect cover..."" It's alright. There's no way you couldn't have known. I'm not upset with you, Flint." Elliot adjusted the bags in his left hand reaching out for the younger man's shoulder. " Besides, things happen in our lives to mold us into our futures. If my father had never died, I'd never be a doctor, and I'd never have met you. What a waste that would've been, I think." Elliot then leaned down to plant a swift, but tender kiss onto Flint's lips before the doors opened, digging his keys from his pocket and starting down the hall to his apartment. " Come on, I'm starving~" "... for a man without any morals." ................................................................................

The tenderness of Grant's words and kiss caught Flint off-guard and he stumbled getting out of the elevator behind the doctor.
"I... guess you're right," was all he could say as he followed close behind having been completely knocked speechless.

"A doctor is the perfect cover..."Once they were inside, Elliot immediately set to the kitchen, setting down the bags and taking the parcel from Flint. He worked quickly and efficiently, having the noodles in the pot, the meat cooked and the sauce half-made by the time the timer hit 15 minutes. " Please, make yourself at home," called the doctor absently, washing a tomato before starting to cut it up. " So, how long have you lived in this city?" "... for a man without any morals." ................................................................................

The apartment was sleek and clean and... impressive as hell. "Damn. Nice digs..." Flint commented as he wandered around the living room. As he passed by the window he noticed that the foreboding clouds that had been following them all night had finally opened up and the city was awash in a hazy torrential downpour. The apartment was well-sealed though, and he barely heard a pattering of raindrops ping quietly off the windowsill.
He wondered if his possessions would be okay, but knew rain this hard shouldn't last too long. As absently as Grant asked the question, Flint answered, "Oh, I've lived here as long as I can remember. Got deep ties around here. Other than this fancy part-a town, I can get you anywhere and anything."

"A doctor is the perfect cover..."" Guess it's a good thing that I don't need anything," said the man as he walked out to Flint, wiping his hands on a towel slung over his shoulder. He adjusted his apron, gesturing to the kitchen. " Everything's in the oven. We've got ten minutes to kill." announced the man, taking the towel and folding it. " Much as I would like to suggest returning to that teasing thing, I kind of want to know more about you."

Flint wandered back and lounges on the couch. He snapped back quietly, "Eeeverybody needs somethin', Doc. Everybody."
Grant asked about himself and he just lauged, "Naa. Ain't got nothing nearly as interesting as your life to tell. I'm afraid I'd bore you to tears."

"A doctor is the perfect cover..."" A hobby, maybe," he chuckled, sitting on the arm of he couch and pulling his watch from his pocket. After clicking it back on, he looked down at Flint and shrugged. " Nothing more to tell, really. How's about we play a game? You ask me a question about my life, then I ask you one, and so on and so on. That sound good?" "... for a man without any morals." ................................................................................
