    Summary

    He remembers the twins Edward and Lydia, the older kids, the neighborhood bullies, laughing and making fun of them when Taako had declared, proud and with a gap between his front teeth, that he was going to marry Kravitz when they grew up. The twins had said that boys couldn’t marry boys and Taako had been so furious he was shaking, his ears and the back of his freckled neck flushed bright red and Kravitz had grabbed his hand and squeezed it hard, never wanting to let go.

    They were ten and thought that every plan they made would become reality.

    Summary

    They play a game on the bad days, called Where Were You. Taako likes to think of it as a game, anyway, because he might go nuclear if he takes it too seriously. His memory is fucked, so fucked still. Real layered on false layered on real, and there are days when he can’t believe any of them because he can’t tell the difference.

    Summary

    Taako pats the counter beside the stove. “Hop on up here then, boychik. I’m making chai.”

    “I’ve never had that before,” Angus says as he struggles to pull himself up onto the counter. He finally succeeds, scooting back until his legs are dangling off the edge at the knees.

    “Well, we can fix that. The best chai is homemade anyways, the stuff they sell at Fantasy Starbucks is nowhere close. That’s fake chai for cowards. Don’t fall for it.”

    “Noted,” Angus says, nodding.

    (OR: "sometimes you can't get to sleep, so your new maybe-dad shows you how to make chai from scratch, and he says some really nice things to you, and you end up crying all over him, and you know what? that's okay!" -Angus McDonald, probably)
