    Summary

    “Wow, you know,” Daniel dropped his cigarette on the ground and stomped it out with the toe of his shoe, “I’m not, like, keeping a tally here. But I gotta admit, you’re really committing to recreating the same paternal experience I got the first time around.”

     

    Daniel + Armand + a seedy New York alleyway

    Summary

    You wanna know the kind of slump I'm in? Have you ever felt like a stubbed out cigarette butt in the crack of the sidewalk? I feel crooked. Bent sideways and backways and crushed in on myself.

    I'm looking for a light.

    For some unknown grubby fingers to pluck me out, dust me off, tell me "hey, this one's not so bad, I can straighten this one out and light'er up if I get desperate."

    Summary

    Daniel is painfully nonchalant the first time he brings it up. Hardly more than a distracted aside while they’re walking past a hospice home.

    “You know I don’t want to live forever, right?”

    Armand has a tongue, has vocal chords. Has lungs that expand, a diaphragm that can force air. Has everything he needs and still, sound does not bend to his will. He’s fairly certain he was moving, was holding Daniel’s hand, but now—

    “Ah shit, that’s not—”
