Summary
Alvaro gently nudged his elbow. When he turned around, Alvaro mustered a smile.
“We okay?” Alvaro asked.
And Paulo’s hair was covering his forehead but if it hadn’t been, Alvaro was sure he would’ve seen the frown lines on Paulo’s forehead dissipate. He looked as relieved as Alvaro felt. And Alvaro was thankful once again that he didn’t need to spell everything out in order for Paulo to understand him.
“Of course,” Paulo said. A genuine smile washed over his face as he gave Alvaro’s arm a brief squeeze. “Always.”

Summary
“I'm into you,” Franco said quietly. “Sexually.”
Isco blinked at him, hoping his gaze wasn't faltering. He wasn't going to show Franco any sign of weakness. Even after knowing what made Franco cry for more, even after knowing he could make Franco as desperate as Isco felt – Isco wasn't going to show Franco any sign of weakness.
It was like a constant competition, a constant challenge for dominance with Franco. But Isco was totally up for it. He had a feeling he’d have a lot of fun.
“I'm into you, too,” Isco said, as calmly as he could manage.
“I mean, I thought that was obvious. I spent two hundred euro to come fuck you.”
“Well,” Isco whispered, reaching for the remote and turning off the TV before crawling into Franco’s lap, straddling him. “Let's not waste any of that money, shall we?”

Summary
In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.Late at night, I call my long distance lover,
proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.
I saved the rest for you.When she doesn’t respond,
I know she’s used up all her words,
so I slowly whisper I love you
thirty-two and a third times.
After that, we just sit on the line
and listen to each other breathe.Jeffrey McDaniel, “The Quiet World”
