    Summary

    Nathaniel Wesninski had been different, even as a little boy, and now Neil Josten, at age nineteen, didn’t feel any more normal.

    -

    Now that Neil is somewhere safe and with people who care about him, he is finally able to process the trauma he has lived through in his life. The problem is that he doesn't know how.

    Summary

    “I’m not stupid,” Neil says. Remnants of a feeling akin to seasickness, of being too known in such a confronting, polarised way is eating away at his stomach. Flickering embers are burning his lungs like thousands of fireflies, and other words he doesn’t know how to write or spell or read.

    “You’ll always be stupid,” Andrew tells him easily, not bothering to look at Neil once. “You are not stupid for not knowing this.”

    Or Neil never learned to read or write but it’s okay; Andrew will teach him.

    Summary

    “What did you take?” Andrew demands.

    Neil wonders if Andrew will taste all that is wrong with Neil when he kisses him. He wonders if Andrew will recognize it. Andrew knows what it is to hurt himself, and this must be familiar. It’s deja vu, Neil thinks, if only a little bit worse, a little more terrible.

    Neil shakes his head, groaning into the toilet, “I don’t want to tell you.”

    Andrew pulls out his phone, and Neil can already hear it dialling when he says, “You can tell the paramedics.”

    Or; “Cigarettes,” Neil says. “I ate your cigarettes.”

    Summary

    "You were thinking about it, right?" Neil asks. When Andrew doesn't seem inclined to help with the conversation, he elaborates, "Tying my wrists."

    Andrew tilts his head. A small indicator of admission.

    "I'd like that, tonight," Neil says. The buzzing under his skin hasn't gone away. He needs... something.

    Neil wants Andrew. Wants this; hands tied, immobile. He’s sure of it. But wires get crossed, and suddenly Neil isn’t quite as alright with it as he thought he’d be.
