    Summary

    “I had another dream. About it.”

    Ryan’s eyebrows knit in worry, hands extending out to Naim.

    “What? C’mere,” he takes hold of Naim’s hands gently, guiding him back to bed.

    Naim hesitates for a moment before letting him. He rests his hands in Ryan’s palms, feeling the warmth of his skin.

    “It was different from the last one, it was more… real, I guess,” Naim shrugs, taking a seat on the bed. “Sorry if I woke you.”

    Ryan is quick to shake his head. “No, no, always wake me when this happens, seriously, Naim. Keep talking, tell me what happened.”

    Summary

    University will be filled with men who have trust funds and expensive internships, ones who could afford to take Naim to dinner and museums and on romantic dates. Men who didn’t smell like motor oil and clay dust and cigarettes, men who could take him to parties in polo shirts and nice clean cars. Naim would never have to take the bus again. Roiling, hot jealousy fills his head for this nameless, faceless man, Naim’s future boyfriend. He’d probably play the guitar or something. Write Naim stupid songs. Shit like that. Ryan feels sick.

    Since leaving Bandee an over a year ago, they’ve never spent a single night apart. Naim’s University orientation might change that.

    Summary

    “I think people underestimate how stupid the human brain really is. It’s all very simple, the way we work. Remarkably so, honestly. If something causes us pain, our brain tells us to avoid it. Fear is one of the most singularly powerful motivators for survival we possess.” 

    Cardboard bites into Naim's palm. Fingers open, then close, crumpling it smaller and smaller, the coffee soaking between his fingers where the bloated paper releases it. 

    "So what happens when someone betrays you so thoroughly? How does your brain decide to process that? You’re fighting back against your own base instinct.”

    -
    Naim steps off the bus into a new life- but that doesn't garuntee it'll be easy.

    Summary

    Ruffled, Naim stands taller. "What'd you mean 'a guy like me'?"

    Those ice blue irises dip, lazily dragging down to the front of his converse before taking the same path back up again. When they meet Naim's eyes again, there is a glint in them that makes his stomach flip.

    A smirk overtakes the blond's expression. "Dunno. That's what I'm curious about."

    The night begins as just another party that Naim is being dragged along to. However, that changes the moment that Ryan Whelan notices him through the crowd.

    Naim bites his bottom lip to smother a smile from showing. Though he does think there may be something sinister brewing inside of him, with how hot he finds that uncertainty in Ryan's gaze whenever he thinks he is doing something wrong.

    Summary

    Under the weight of Naim’s gaze, Ryan was a boundless thing, forever unspooling like silk ribbon into Naim’s waiting arms. That feeling made him soft, made him complacent and docile and all the things he’d tried to lock away many years ago. It made him vulnerable. Ryan pretended not to know that, but he did know. The thing attached to him knew it, too.

    Or: The entity plays with its food. Ryan thinks Naim might hate him.

    Ryan's experience with the entity since the film is mostly Naim's POV.

    Summary

    There is something impossible and bright growing in Naim’s chest, like someone has reached inside him and shone a light in him, warm and all consuming. Ryan is dazzling, pink cheeked and white gold in the light, run down converse and a soft mouth, his calloused hand in Naim’s.

    A series of firsts.

    Ryan nods. Something much shyer creeps into his expression as his eyes trail away to somewhere left of Naim’s mouth. “I wanted to see you here. ‘Truth is—I don’t really have a lot that’s just mine, you know? Except for you.”

     

    Ohh my god

    Summary

    Ryan kicks off his shoes and then he’s crowding Naim against the couch, lips burning like sun-soaked December. He kisses the slope of his jaw, his cheek, the side of his mouth. Naim is breathless trying to keep up. He tangles his fingers in Ryan’s hair and tugs—anything to slow the love spilling out of his mouth.

    “Ryan—” Naim can only breathe and moan into Ryan’s mouth, pressing their bruised lips together over and over and over. He curls one hand around Ryan’s left bicep and he twitches in his pants. He’d be a lot more embarrassed if this didn’t happen every day.

    When Ryan finally pulls away, their lips are still centimeters apart. He smiles, soft and pretty and unbearably fond. “You hungry?” He asks.

    Naim nods. Fucking starving.

    (ryan, naim, and their flat in paris.)

    Those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good.
    Ryan has an emptiness within him that devotion feeds off of. A need for love. Little did he know, that vacuum was perfectly Naim shaped. A place for his devotion to go towards, somebody to believe in and worship. Something Holy.

    Summary

    “It’s okay,” Naim said. There was still blood seeping from his mouth.

    “No.” Ryan shook his head. He didn’t know where to touch Naim, didn’t know if he trusted himself to. Carefully he reached for his wrist, the closest thing, and pulled his hand from where it clenched white around the railing. “No, fuck. Come here—”

    Ryan could see the ragged skin of the gash beneath Naim’s chin, the blood still dripping freely onto his collarbones. A deep wine-purple was blooming at his brow. And Ryan had done this, the real Ryan.

    -

    In a moment of panic, Ryan mistakes Naim for the Entity.

    Summary

    Years on from Bandee, part of him was still scared of how Ryan made him feel. The things he made him want. Maybe he'd never be able to let go of that fear entirely, ruined by what they'd been through in more ways than a murderous shadow. But tonight there was an ache inside of him like a bruise and Naim needed desperately for it to be pressed.

    Naim and Ryan go to a friend's birthday, and Naim lets himself want without fear.

    “I meant it when I said I forgave you,” Ryan said. “I know what it’s like to be so scared that you…” Ryan licked at his dry lips. “You do things you don’t even want to do.” Ryan thought of being perpetually bruised for years because Hunter’s stones were the closest thing he ever had to real affection.
