    Summary

    “You could teach me.”
    Not a question. Not quite.
    Saps blinked. His fingers twitched around the notebook’s leather spine. “Teach you what, exactly?”
    Flux’s jaw worked, his scarred hands flexing around the hatchet’s handle like he was imagining wrapping them around something gentler. “Letters,” he finally said. “Words. Whatever the fuck’s in that book.” Though his voice was rough, Saps could feel something underneath — not vulnerability, not quite, but the barest hint of want.
    And in this world, desire is a dangerous, fragile thing.

    ༻ ☽ ⊱⋆⊰ ☾ ༺

    A timid scientist who cannot fight.
    A skilled fighter who cannot write.
    And a world that treats desire like poison.
