Well, this is a bit detailed, but feel free to change what you like if you'd prefer. As long as the general gist of the prompt happens! :)
Martin, for whatever reason, cannot afford to pay the rent for his room. As this isn't the first time, he's told that he needs to leave. Martin, of course, is terrified.
Later that day, he's with the other members of MJN. Feeling desperate, our Captain starts to pull himself together in order to ask Douglas and/or Carolyn whether he could borrow their sofa for a while, but just before he can they cut him down horribly over something. Maybe he's clumsy and they mention how 'useless' he is, maybe they say they're glad they only need to see him at work. Either way, Martin is hurt/ashamed and so doesn't bother asking.
The next bit is up to the filler. Perhaps one of them finds him sleeping in his van that night/a few nights in? Maybe they bump into him at a pub, drowning his sorrows? Possibly he doesn't turn up for a flight, and so they try to find him - being told by the students that he was kicked out?
All I know is that I want whoever is involved to feel horrendously guilty for what they said, and lots of comfort offered to make it a happy ending. Gen is fine, but I'd be happiest if it was a Martin/Douglas fic.
SO: Martin is kicked out of his place, tries to ask Carolyn and/or Douglas if he can stay with them but they put him down/hurt his feelings first. Cue scenario in which they find out what's happened, and lots of guilt and comfort!
Martin has a bad week (h/c, either gen or M/D)
