   Summary

   Sometimes, when they leave the city, Aki feels like he’s waking from a dream. Like fog burning away and leaving his mind clear. He can see for miles.

   Angel pulls his hair up messily. He eats messily. Slouches messily across benches. His limbs go every way. His voice meanders like a creek.

   Aki can’t move for touching him.

   He wonders, in the air between them, how much is Angel. How many particles of Angel are in each breath he takes. He pulls a breath all the way down to the bottom of his lungs and holds it.
