Summary
“Come here, kid.” One of Robby’s hands catches Dennis’s and lands against his sternum, trapping his arm against his chest, while the other stays in his hair, fingers winding into damp curls. Dennis’s attention is everywhere and panicked. He catches a flash of Perlah readying the needle and a desperate sound punches out of him.
“Nope, don’t look at that,” Robby says, using the hand in his hair to force his head back, angling his vision away from the commotion and up towards him. Dennis’s eyes lock onto his, pupils blown wide. “Look at me. Yep, good. I’m right here. You’re doing so good, honey. Just keep those eyes on me.”
The IV tourniquet snaps into place and panic flashes anew in Dennis’s face. ”Robby—”
“I know. It’s just Dana and Perlah. We’re just pushing some fluids, no more drugs. You’re safe.” Out of the corner of his eye, Robby can see Perlah speeding through what has to be the fastest IV placement of her career, Dana keeping her grip on Dennis’s hand to stop him from jerking away. Dana shoots him a glance of warning and Robby tightens his hold. “Okay, quick poke now. Still just us. Deep breath, Dennis. I've got you."

Summary
“What do you need?” Robby repeated.
“I need you to help me,” Dennis blurted, pleading, filter nowhere to be found in the bottomless pool of Robby’s eyes. Filter obliterated. The words whined out of him like air escaping a popped tire. He was fucking broken, fundamentally. Please help me, Robby.
Robby’s mouth was lax and open around a word that wouldn’t seem to come free. Two or three letters—Dennis couldn’t read him well enough yet to know which it would be. Robby’s expression flickered with obvious conflict: confusion, fear, hunger, sadness. He knew what kind of help Dennis wanted.
OR: Dennis confronts the things that have been hurting him.

Summary
“I guess I’m just wondering, like…” Victoria stumbled over her words and huffed in frustration. Her foot was touching the inside of Trinity’s ankle, the exposed stretch of skin below the leg of her sweats. “How did you know you liked her?”
“What do you mean?” Trinity was confused. “Haven’t you ever liked anyone before?”
“Duh.” Victoria picked at her perfectly manicured nails. They were trimmed down below the fingertips and painted the same purple color as her shirt, which was still damp from the pouring rain when they took Samira down to meet the Uber. “Just not, you know…? A woman.”

Summary
He cut himself off before he could do something stupid, like share what he was actually thinking: that the residual sensation of Robby’s harsh touch was still lighting up his skin all over. Or, that, until last night, he had been convinced that his pleasure was locked up like medication in a child-proof container, to be dispensed at the exclusive whims of the only other person who had ever been able to access it. That maybe bad sex could feel good, that he liked being the agent of his own injury, but that it would never approximate the shameful, defiant pleasure of someone taking that choice away from him.
