shortish because phone post, ugh

This wasn't an easy pill for Perry to swallow, and Atticus could see that. He felt awful for being the bearer of such shitty news, and there still lingered in him a fear that his relationship with his brother would be damaged because of what he'd almost done with Hawkeye. For the most part, their interactions had been harmless, fleeting episodes of flirting and romantic talk, but there had been that one time around the end of her heat...

"We almost had sex once," he confessed after a long moment of silence, during which he struggled with how to tell his brother something so scandalous. "It was around the time of her heat, and she was practically throwing herself at me. I was literally mounting her when we both realized we were fucking up." A quiet beat passed before he reiterated, again, "But it didn't happen. I swear to you."
