Sonny’s cheeks are tinged a pretty pink, Rafael thinks it's very cute, and he must have a lot of painkillers in his system and be very much in love to think like that, but he finds he doesn’t mind much.“Uh. Yeah. Do you want some water?” Rafael shakes his head a little, there’s an IV in his arm, and he drank some the doctor gave him. He really only wants to talk to Sonny.
Sonny nods and takes a hand through his hair, messing it up more, looking ruffled in a way that makes his chest tighten with affection. He must really love this man if ruffled hair and a Staten Island accent make him feel like this. He wonders how long they’ve been together.

Or, Rafael loses four years worth of memories and assumes he and Sonny are dating, because he knows he loves him in his gut. Or his heart. Or something. Except...they aren't together. Yet.

Sonny deals with his feelings for Barba. Poorly.

The office lights flickered and then went out, followed by the distinct sound of electronics powering off, including the old rattling—but comforting—window air conditioning unit.

“What the hell?” Sonny stood, but had no real plan of action after that.

“Clearly, the power is out,” Barba’s voice came from somewhere to his left.

“Well, thank you, Counselor,” Sonny shot back dryly, eyes finally having adjusted to the dark enough that he could make out the shapes of the furniture, and Barba, who was scowling with his arms crossed. Although he could have guessed that, even without being able to see. “Think it’s city-wide?”

He crossed to the window to try to answer his own question, looking out into what was complete darkness. It was eerie. New York was never dark.

Rafael's a little buzzed and really, really appreciates Sonny's butt.

They've been fuckbuddies for eight months, but Rafael's starting to feel feelings. Oh no. What do.

After their first time, Rafael discovers Sonny's energy doesn't slow down after orgasm.

After a bomb explodes outside the courthouse, Sonny struggles with what he does and doesn't remember and whether he could have stopped what happened to Barba.
