Handsome Bob and Dave for @deinvatiwrites , who prompted: “You need to go”. Neither of us wanted any angst between Bob and Dave, so that’s not that this story is about.
The first part is here, but it got longer than a tumblr fic, so the rest is on AO3
Dave is looking at the text Bob got while he was at work, that he’s been thinking about all day.
When he got his new mobile, he gave the number to very few people from before. But he did give it to One Two’s mum. He didn’t think she’d give it to One Two, but he didn’t really care, he wanted her to have it. He rings her now and then, just to chat. He hasn’t told her specifically about Dave, but she knows he’s not hanging around with One Two anymore. And he’s told her he’s happy.
He last rang her about three weeks ago, and she was fine then.
The text is from her phone, but it isn’t from her. It’s from a nurse.
“Barbara is very ill. She wanted you to know. She is in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary.”
“She was a like a mum to me,” Bob says. “You know, when One Two was away and I used to go round and take her things.”
“She taught you to make scones.” Dave smiles at him. He’s remembered how Bob told him that, so long ago.
“Yeah.”
“You need to go.” Dave hands him back his phone. “If she asked the nurse to text you, it must be serious. You should go.”

I had some time to do a film study over the weekend. This is a still from one of my favorite film RocknRolla (2008) . This is the moment when Johnny Quid about to drop a speech to his friend Pete. I like the set up of this shot, the lighting frames his face and the cigarette on his hand. No emotion shown but it feels dramatic.
