[ they've been drifting apart lately -- credence has been taking more jobs overseas, and graves has been working harder; something's gone wrong between them, the inevitable strain of something graves can't quite put his finger on but recognises because it's happened so many times before with the people that he loves. eventually, the strain of being with him gets to them. graves is a good man, he's just not a good partner, and despite his love for credence, there is so much he still has to work through with himself.
but maybe his biggest mistake is assuming that credence will always be there for him. after all, what they have is something powerful, something real, something graves has never felt more strongly. even if the increased texting credence is doing since his return from germany's stuck in the back of his mind -- duly dismissed because credence has never been the cheating type.
graves comes home late tonight, and oblivious to what is to come. it's been a long day, and the sight of credence sitting ramrod straight on their sofa, quiet and tense, surprises him.
