Summary
"Open hand or closed fist would be fine;
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine"(♫ Cherry Wine - Hozier ♫)
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
"Darry had heard talk of perverted homosexuals, broken men who would seek out other men for comfort and to conceal some inner illness. Ones who would prey on young boys, dress like women, and other such stories. It confused him greatly, because he knew he would never be like that. He wasn’t sick in the head, he was very close with his father, and, by most standards, was a very normal boy."
Darry finds himself falling for Paul, and is sickened by his own fantasies. The stress of trying to live up to be all they're expected to is killing both of them, and the adrenaline rush from their encounters shields Darry from realizing just what he's getting himself into.
A new pair of eyes complicates things even further.
