right. albert likes to 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚 that … detail of their relationship these days, considering his &͟. cooper’s falling out ( of sorts ). word travels, after all. gordon cole knew from the very start.
‘ i suppose. ’
on that note, since albert’s here … +
⠀
⠀
of course it won’t do albert any favors. but he doesn’t exactly care about any of that. does coop see him having a social life at all outside of work? friends? ( maybe except for gordon &͟. diane. )
‘ the roadhouse. ’ albert shrugs. ‘ i’m hesitant to trust your +

whether spirits existed or not was unimportant to albert &͟. his own cause. what mattered was evidence &͟. using that evidence for justice, however flawed the system may be. sometimes—many times—albert flounders with his place in society, his lack of control +

⠀
since becoming an agent of the fbi.
&͟. now … this. cooper. a complication; a dreamlike affair. a fantasy in gray eyes &͟. too much hair gel that albert’s grown very accustomed to smelling in the early hours of the morning.
albert considers his next move. +
⠀
‘ good to know you kept to yourself, then. ’
the real kicker is that albert doesn’t want to leave this room. albert, the fool he is, wants nothing more than to take advantage of the pair’s privacy, to take coop by surprise &͟. +
‘ wow, sherlock—you’re just 𝙣𝙤𝙬 noticing this? ’ but the expected venom in albert’s voice, as he says this, is nonexistent. his tone is flat, his body language slow, like it is tiring for him to lug his limbs around. +
‘ don’t i? ’ albert, of course, isn’t going to ‘leave.’ when he told cooper that he would stay here until this case was solved, he meant it. the complications arise from everything else about the current status of their relationship.
no matter what, cooper always reels +
him back in.
‘ after everything between you &͟. windom earle, you migjt understand a little bit of 𝔀hy this has all been particularly difficult for me. ’
&͟. not to mention—a year ago, following the death of teresa banks, cooper had begged albert to remain at his side +
as usual, as always, cooper has the final say. no matter how much albert scratches &͟. claws &͟. bites, he’s always made to heel. coop’s message is clear: now is not the time, &͟. albert’s pettiness will not be +
entertained. ‘ … fine. i concede. whatever you want, 𝓭ale. ’
albert moves to grab his things, then hesitates. they turn back &͟. face cooper.
‘ you’re lucky i value integrity &͟. empathy as much as i do, coop. +
albert’s frustration only mounts. ‘ you cannot seriously be vouching for 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞 of all people in this godforsaken town. ’ rather than continue with that train of thought, he quickly moves on. ‘ truman physically +
assaulted me, &͟. you’re framing 𝘮𝘦 as the aggressor? ’
is a large part of his anger merely misguided jealousy? perhaps. but it doesn’t change the fact that albert had been attacked &͟. subsequently *betrayed by the only man +
