Wonderful imagery.
Chapter 1:
“So’s that what you want?” Victor asks. “You want me to kill you parents for you?”
The boy pauses, seeming to consider it. “No.”
Victor sighs. Fucking coward, then. Some people just don’t understand—Victor would have been doing them a favor.
“I want to do it myself.” A look that’s familiar to Victor—he sometimes catches it in the mirror—flashes across the boy’s face. “When the time is right.”
Chapter 3:
In the past two days, Roman hasn’t passed up a single opportunity to buy Victor something. Now, Victor takes advantage and gets an ice cream and lemonade, while Roman gets himself a funnel cake. Roman gets powdered sugar smeared over his mouth and Victor pushes away the fantasy of licking it off, because it might just be too sweet to resist.
…
All at once, Victor swivels around, grabs the man by the back of his suit collar, and slams his head against the sink.
The man collapses unconscious to the floor. Right before Roman’s eyes, Victor’s body changes right back from lion to lamb: hands held behind his back, eyes wide and worried as they look up at Roman’s gaping face. There’s a spiderweb crack in the marble sink. Blood fills its crevices and drips down onto the floor.
For possibly the first time in his life, Roman is lost for words. So instead of saying anything, he takes Victor by his shirt collar, pushes him against the wall, and kisses him.
