    Summary

    “So, what now? We keep catching coaches from shithole to shithole?”

    A mosquito pricks Ryan’s neck and he smacks it away. He thinks about the weight of Naim’s head on his shoulder on the bus, the tinny melodies emitted by cheap earphones filling the space between them. Remembers how settled he’d felt, how uncertain yet still oddly calm, having only the vaguest idea where he was going but being sure about who he was going with. He looks at Naim. “Maybe, yeah.”

    /

    Ryan and Naim keep going.

    Summary

    He doesn’t know what he’s doing, what brought him here, what made them end up alone at the back of this bus in the middle of the night. It’s like his body keeps stumbling, leading him somewhere. There’s all this momentum, this speed that propels him forward before he can question it, before he can think where they might end up.

    The problem is, he likes where they’re going. He doesn’t care to slow down, to be smart about it, because he keeps fucking loving where they end up.

    He thinks, if I get to keep looking at him a bit longer, if I get to sit with our legs pressed up against each other like this, kick my foot against his, lean my head sideways to catch his eye, it’s worth it.

    He can’t think of anything better than this. Anywhere else he would rather be.

    hc of the bus scene ;)

    Naim finds himself cornered by the entity who looks like Ryan. Unexpectedly, the entity genuinely wants him.

    Summary

    “You got really defensive, though. When he said it.”

    Ryan’s shoulders tense. “Did I?”

    “Yeah. You were arguing with him after, remember?”

    “He was being an asshole,” Ryan shrugs. “I guess I just had enough of it that day.”

    Naim watches him carefully. Ryan reaches up, scratches at the bridge of his nose. It's a nervous tick he does.

    “Maybe it was something else,” Naim says.
