    Summary

    “You… like it?” Irving asks, vulnerable, pitched halfway between a statement and a question.

    And Burt thought he was a stranger.

    “Of course, I like it,” Burt replies, automatic, honest. “I love it, it’s— It’s me!”

    This time, there’s a touch of a laugh in Irving’s voice when he repeats, “Yes, it— it is. I suppose it is.”

    or: in another life, burt, a newly-retired former curator, finally talks to irving, the artist he's noticed in his art museum (and crushed on) for years.
