    Summary

    His breath passes through his body in cycles, and he allows himself to focus on it. The stretch in his muscles as his chest expands and back widens. Each inhale seems to unravel something in him, allowing the tension to bleed from his body.

    Once more he observes Olruggio’s features, taking in the color of his eyes — an intriguing shade that reminds him of a star-filled sky — and the harsh line of his mouth. He observes the dark strands that fall across his forehead, the cut of his jawline, the bridge of his nose.

    I want him and this life we built together.

    I want to live.

    or: qifrey learns to rebuild. olruggio is by his side.

    Summary

    “Can you show me?” Qifrey asks, feigning just a little of his frustration. Running his fingers up and down his own neck only feels marginally less stupid than Olruggio lying isolated beside him, his want palpable.

    “Show you?” Olly’s voice is thready.

    “Yes,” Qifrey replies, tilting his head to look at Olly until his gaze is met. “I’ll follow you.”

    or; olruggio shows qifrey the best ways to get off. nothing, at all, goes wrong.

    Summary

    “Can you see me now?” Olruggio asks, leaning forward, and Qifrey’s expression darkens.

    “A bit better,” he says, a hand coming around to hover at the back of Olruggio’s head. Olruggio grins, kisses the inside of his thigh, and moves back until his head comes into contact with that hand. Qifrey’s expression darkens further, his eye all pupil.

    “Don’t look away from me,” Olruggio says.

    Summary

    A boy, OLRUGGIO, lies in a pile of scattered paper. Another boy, QIFREY, sits beside him. QIFREY is crying.

    QIFREY: You don’t understand. (He touches the crown of OLRUGGIO’s head.) You don’t understand.

    OLRUGGIO: …

    QIFREY: Or maybe…

    OLRUGGIO’s breathing is soft. QIFREY looks DS.

    QIFREY: I loved your spell.

    OLRUGGIO shifts in his sleep. QIFREY looks back down at him.

    QIFREY: (Whispering.) I love your spell.

    OLRUGGIO’s hand twitches in his sleep. QIFREY keeps watch over him.

    Blackout.
