    Summary

    Summary

    “What about me?” he asks, leaning closer. “Interesting enough to make you interested?”

    The way Sand is looking at him already answers all his questions. Oddly enough, the singer seems speechless, not saying a single word. His eyes quietly follow Ray as he purses his lips again, trying not to smile too much. It ruins his allure. But maybe he doesn't have to worry about that, he can tell that he already has the other wrapped around his finger. 

    Just to be a tease, Ray continues speaking. “You said you're open,” he hums. “Open enough for someone like me?”

    Summary

    There's an invisible collar around his throat, and no one but Ray is holding the leash. How pathetic is that? He doesn't want to be someone's dog; powerless, and panting.

    “Please,” Sand says, finally, and he knows how pathetic he must look. “Did you tell him that you drank? He must've told you not to drive either.”

    At that, a strangled laugh leaves Ray's throat, and his fist tightens around the keys in his hand. The sound squeezes every bit of life out of Sand, in the way those still-present tears do, too. Unfair.

    Mew calls for Ray again, but this time, Sand doesn't let Ray leave so easily.

    Summary

    Maybe home wasn’t a place.

    Maybe it was just the sound of Ray humming off-key beside him, the taste of fried rice too salty to be good, and the feeling of love that made everything else fade away.
