    Summary

    Oscar studies him clearly from mussed hair to scuffed boot, focusing in on the strange half-second in which he felt his way along the pew in order to move closer. Time had not been kind to either of them, leaving its obvious marks in various places. Instead of pointing out new scars, the wrinkled state of his jacket, how the knot of his tie was not quite tight enough, he simply drinks him all in to the best of his impartial ability. It is not easy.

    “You’re still thin,” he admonishes kindly. “That always worried me, you know?”

    Carefully he lifts his remaining hand to Arthur’s face, palm cupping one side of his jawline as if feeling along the bone there. Automatically Arthur closes his eyes, sinking into the touch. Just as soon as he leans against the fleeting shiver of heat, it’s gone.

     

    Arthur and John return to what they left behind, hoping for a fresh start.

    Summary

    I woke up in a cubicle.

    This was normal, I knew.

    I couldn't remember the last time I had been in one, or the first time, or any of the times in between. This, I suspected, was deeply ab-fucking-normal. My head was aching. The organic parts of me felt like they had been scraped over with wire wool. I couldn't remember anything.
