Malcolm crawls into bed next to Will that night and curls up against him. Things have been slowly untangling in the couple of days since the sword was dealt with but the things that happened right before the sword thing have dominated his mental space a lot more than the things that happened during it.
Except maybe one.
"I called Shaw today," he admits to the outline of Will's face in the diffused light of simulated streetlamps below the window. "To apologize for being mean when I was telling her off."

Taylor’s already had a full day when she shows up to the kennel, Angelica ambling at her side and a canvas bag hanging over her shoulder. She has cleaning plans - deep cleaning the play space and the fake grass, and maybe the goat pens too - but she’s also already spent half the day cleaning and she’s tired. So she plans to let herself be lazy.
She was hoping to be here late enough she’d be alone, since she’s not sure what’s on display above her head, but she smiles to see Will all the same, and hefts the bag a little. It rattles dryly.
“What are your thoughts on beetles?”

Hey
Just checking in to see if you made it through alright.
I stopped bleeding
And no one's assaulted me since.
You ok?
Hannibal fuck off?

So Shaw’s in a coma. Sorry about that, but… not to be mercenary and all… it might be a good day to. Um. Go to the Enclosure.
The day they organized the Kiryu meeting, in the evening, after arguing with Shaw and Jesus.

Will's been around more since the Breach, but he'd gone to his own cabin to feed the dogs and grab a few things, so Malcolm flopped on the couch and checked the Network.
He was glad to see that Kiryu was ready to organize the meetings, but then... things took the kind of turn they take, because he's... him. Will almost certainly saw the words that passed between him and Shaw and he may have seen the public part of his conversations with Rosita and Jesus. And once those are over, he has to get out of his cabin, so he goes for a restless walk and his feet carry him... straight to Will's door, almost like he was in a trance to get there. He stands in front of it for a long moment. Then it occurs to him that Will can probably smell him there. He knocks.

Hey... I don't know that it matters much anymore but I told Malcolm I'd ask. When you told me you met Malcolm by going to him as a therapist, you were telling the truth, right?
You're the doc's boyfriend, ain't ya?
[He pauses.]
The one that beat the shit out of Avalon?
Got a minute?

...I think I found a problem, Graham-san.
Do you have a few minutes to talk?
Do you have a few minutes to talk?
The day after meetings with Avalon/Jesus/Sheehan are over

Malcolm could see the emotional drain on Will after the meetings. He would only stay that night if Will wanted him to.
But the next day… the next day feels like time to unveil what he has been working on in the Enclosure.
He doesn’t tell Will what they’re going there for, but Will can probably tell he’s excited and also a little nervous. Apart from the crime scene, he has Will’s Christmas gift in his pocket and he hopes he likes it.
As they walk in, they’re in a park, a Victorian style greenhouse looming ahead of them. Malcolm grins and leads him there. On the floor is an elaborate crime scene featuring a young woman, dressed in a white gown and elbow length gloves surrounded by flowers.
Malcolm looks at Will and raises his eyebrows.

[The door closes on the library, and Shaw follows Will along to wherever he starts walking, quiet for the first fifty or so paces.]
Those were both a lot.
[She finally says, once they're out of sight of the main library door.]
How're you doing?

If you really are contemplating going in there, you’re not going without me. But I don’t think it’s the smart move, putting our fingers in the same finger trap.
[ From here. ]
Will had checked on the dogs first thing when they were yanked back on the ship. Fine, both fine. He'd headed back to his cabin to get things settled and finally change his clothes when the Admiral's announcement hit.
Thank fuck Harkin offers to come over. Will gratefully opens the door for him- which creates a small explosion of dogs. Buster and Winston are very happy to see both Harkin and Jax, and there is much tail wagging and sniffing. Will ushers Harkin inside with a tired smile and closes the door before the doggy meet-and-greet can truly get rolling.
"You want a drink?" he asks his brother, in lieu of their normal 'hey' and 'hey' greeting. Because yeah, he would like one too, right now. He's already moving towards his little cabinet of foodstuffs and glasses.

Malcolm is excited to have a boyfriend on Valentine's Day. He's never had a romantic partner on Valentine's Day in his whole life and this year he not only has one, he has The One.
Possibly he has a fictional romance idea of what it should look like gleaned from movies and novels.
He knows Will will come by after his shift in the kennels, so after his regular Wednesday morning appointment with Avalon, he doesn't book anyone else and goes back to his cabin to prepare.
He makes a platter of finger foods for dinner from the tiny gourmet portions that Neal leaves him in his fridge. He couldn't find roses in the greenhouse, but he did find purple tulips. He sets a bouquet of them in a vase on the counter, then lights candles, setting them all around the cabin. Next: the gift. He takes three medieval throwing knives and lays them in a velvet lined wooden box with a glass top, so they can be stored or displayed in it and sets it on the island, next to the flowers and the food. After the port, elaborate weapons feel like an appropriate romantic gift.
And then he's expecting Will imminently. He puts soft music on the stereo and turns down the overhead lights and goes to get out a bottle of wine and two glasses while he waits.

On an evening near the end of the flood, Will will arrive at Malcolm’s cabin for the night and may notice two things: the big jar of eyeballs is gone and there is a large terrarium on the credenza under the window between the stairs and the livingroom. Inside it, little decor so far, but two colourful snakes are curled up comfortably under a heat lamp. The terrarium has a lid. The lid is closed. Malcolm is sitting on the floor at the coffee table in the living room working on a small water feature. He looks up when he hears the door and lights up when he sees who’s there, like he always does when Will walks into a room.
[At some indeterminate point (but definitely before his battle with Peter), Shaw sidles up to Will on the deck.]
Hey. Look.
[She spreads open the side hole of her hoodie pocket, and a little black and white head pops out: one of the newborn puppies that had popped up during the flood, and are now living in the kennels.
Shaw is maybe grinning, juuuuuust a little.]

Pup, are you a'right? [The urgency may be overdue, but Sweeney's only getting the information.] I mean, of course you aren't. 'nless ya are.
[He's trying to reason his way through it. Will still has a Gaius healing tab, but Sweeney don't know what that means in regards to things being severed.]
Is there anythin'-- [Of course there isn't. He should have done it already.]
I didn't mean ta. Ta leave you alone. Ta let this happen ta you.
