    Summary

    Carmen’s just so angry. He’s shaking with the enormity of the emotion, with the effort it takes to keep himself together.

    “No need for the suspense.” David has the nerve to still be smiling, like he has no idea what Carmy could possibly be upset about. “Are you here to fight or to fuck?” He says the words with the same cadence one might comment on the weather. “I have a preference as to which, if you’d like to hear.”

    Summary

    “The chef there was a real asshole… but uh, for a while I kinda worshipped him anyway you know? Like even though he said so much awful shit to me, even though he crossed every line I had… I-I still fucking latched onto every criticism, constructive or not, and then when he complimented me it was like I’d get high on it. I chased those short lived moments through all the abuse. I put up with it until I had a reason to leave, the reason, and only when I was gone did I realize I should’ve done it sooner.”

    Summary

    "No one told you to stop." Chef says near his ear, low and gravelly in a way he's never heard from him. He hadn't realized his movement had stopped, wine glass held uselessly in one hand and the sponge in the other.

    "Yes, Chef." It wasn't meant to be a yes to this--to everything. He doesn't think the other took it as that, either, but his hands smooth up over the small of his back anyways.

    Summary

    There was an urge to tell him to fuck off, of course, because he was just walking home after work and he wasn't a hooker, but then he had thought of his cut hours at the gas station and the interviews he kept flubbing and that if he didn't get some money soon his brother was going to get fucking jumped at DOC--and instead replied: “how much you got on you?”
