    Summary

    Kim squints at Harry while processing this information. “Okay,” he says. “That actually does explain some things about your… dynamic. So, you two were intimate? This wasn’t a, khm… unrequited situation?"

    “On which end would you expect it to be unrequited, Kim?” Harry says, offended.

    Summary

    On devotion, religion, and love. Harry and Kim solve a case, watch movies, and go to church. Among other things.

    PERCEPTION: The stained glass behind the altar and to the right - lit with a thousand suns glimmering and shining -

    INLAND EMPIRE: It’s him.

    ESPRIT DE CORPS: He’s come for you.

    PERCEPTION: Lit from behind, from within, from all around, clothed in orange and light, his head bent down towards you - reaching out with one hand, the other behind his back -

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Always holding himself back, always helpless but to reach out.

    PERCEPTION: His eyes blind with light, his lungs aglow, a halo, halo -

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Saint Kim Kitsuragi.

    Summary

    Harry loves Kim's apartment. It's perfect.

    Except there's only one shower.

    Kim’s showers are efficient, usually five minutes or less, except -

    VISUAL CALCULUS: Except sometimes they’re not.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY: You know what he’s doing in there!

    INLAND EMPIRE: You do.

     

    PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: You’re both men, are you not? Men in your early forties, but that’s nothing - and twice a week, Kim takes longer than usual in the shower.

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Fifteen minutes. Usually in the mornings, before you drag yourself off your couch.

    DRAMA: He likes the plausible deniability. You’re not up yet, he doesn’t have to feel guilty.

    INLAND EMPIRE: Sometimes, though, he does it at night. One night - the dog days of summer, he can’t sleep, no one in the entire city is sleeping, if the irritability of the precinct, the circles under everyone’s eyes, and the crime rate is to be believed - he gets up and goes into the bathroom. You’re almost asleep, drifting, but wake to Kim’s bare feet padding through from bedroom to bathroom.

    PERCEPTION: You hear the groan of pipes, the sound of water hitting the tub. The pull of the shower curtain.

    Summary

    “I know this is difficult. I know you do not like this. But you are starving yourself, Thomas, and God would not see you starved. I would not see you starved.”

    Thomas wonders what it says about him that one of those means more than the other— and what it means that this does not bother him as it should, this blasphemous thought, this sacrilegious reprioritization.

    “I do not wish to argue with you, my dear Vincent,” Thomas says, voice quiet. “Your concern is kind, but— I am afraid this is only how I am.”

    Vincent squeezes his hands.

    “You are not your punishments,” Vincent tells him, firm, warm, insistent. “You are not your denial. You are not your sacrifice, Thomas, nor your hunger. You are not your starvation.” His hands shake Thomas’s, a rattle to keep his attention. “You are Thomas. You are human, and you are starving, and you should not be.”
