Author's notes: The author would like to apologize for the fact this fic seems like there should be more to it. Turns out the idea I had might've been far more suited for a Big Bang, where it could run rampant for many, many words and not be restrained by a 4k min. Instead it reads choppy and leaves you wanting more (the last part confirmed by my teammates). Maybe one day I'll expand upon the fic and make it better.
