   Summary

   He let out a laugh, letting his voice echo through the endless seeming fields of– freedom. Rolling in circles, hands clutched against the cheeks of the man turning along with him. He smiled at him in return, soft eyes engulfing his.

   “We did it, Stanley!” He laughed, leaning into the forehead against his, “We are free!”

   Summary

   The Narrator seems down. Bored, almost. It's freaking Stanley out a bit, so he decides he needs to bring it up.

   Alternate title: "fellas, is it gay to validate the living shit out of the guy you're stuck forever in a game with?"
