Summary
TK finds comfort in the mindless motions of it—folding the sheet in half, bringing the opposite corners together, folding it in half again—and before he knows it a whole basket is done, filled to the brim with neatly stacked pillowcases and sheets. He stalks into the bunk room, slowly putting everything in its place, when he feels a presence next to him. He glances over and finds Tommy looking at him, her eyebrows pinched together with concern, and he scrambles to pull his earbud out. "Hey, Cap. What's up?"
What's up, he thinks, scoffing at himself internally. As if the whole crew doesn't know his whole world has been completely upturned.
*
Or, a coda for 4x01/spec fic for 4x02-4x04, where Tommy doesn't let TK stew in his emotions alone.

Summary
Buck crawled into bed beside Eddie.
On any other night, Buck would’ve kept his distance. Turned away so he and Eddie could sleep back-to-back, no pretense of being comfortable bed partners.
Tonight, Buck didn’t hesitate; he pushed into Eddie’s space. He slipped his bicep between Eddie’s neck and pillow, bending his arm at the elbow to loop it over Eddie’s shoulder and across his chest. He wrapped his other arm around Eddie’s waist, shoving his freezing fingers into the tight space between Eddie’s hip and the mattress.
Buck shifted in close until he was pressed along the entire length of Eddie’s back. He fit his legs into the right angle of Eddie’s bent knees, tangling their ankles together, chafing his socks against Eddie’s bare feet. He hugged Eddie desperately to his body. No part of them wasn’t touching.
Buck didn’t know if it was an attempt to comfort Eddie or himself. He wasn’t sure there was much of a difference.
In the aftermath of a gruesome call, Buck and Eddie search for comfort in each other.

Gurathin tries to get over his newfound feelings for Murderbot, the best way he knows how.
