Caterpillar: Our characters are high.
it isnāt his usual distraction. thereās usually a lot more pills, downed in a rush as he tries to make it on time to class. itās never been like this.Ā
Thereās a cloud of smoke in their room and theyāre sprawled on their beds, an awkward dip between them from where theyāve pushed the furniture together. Neither of them seem to notice, rather Luke is staring at the cracks in the ceiling and Tony is staring at him. Thereās a faint buzzing in his ears as he reaches over to steal the joint from between Lukeās lips with a grin.Ā ānow now Benny, youāre meant to share.ā his tone is light and teasing. Antonio isnāt one for weed, it always gives him a buzz ,but itās never enough to get him white noise. but laying here with Luke beside him, heās reaching something else;
and when he recounts the warmth from Lukeās touch the next morning, the sparks on his skin from where their bodies met, and the pounding of his pulse in his ears heāll blame it on the weed even though he knows it was much more.
Pinocchio: My character lies to yours.
Heās fifteen and caught up in a world he canāt escape- so he doesnāt know why he tries. The apartment Luke and Tony share after the Raid is small. It radiates normal more than anything in his life. Itās untouched by his world. It was his safe haven. Now itās both of theirs.Ā
It lures him into a sense of normalcy, and itās like everything theyād previously done- everything theyād previously been, just melts away. Maybe thatās why he does it. Maybe thatās why he lets the alcohol loosen himself up enough for him to make a move. Maybe thatās why he so eagerly lets himself get sweeped away in a flurry of a kiss.. of a touch⦠of raven hair and soft eyes, strips of pale skin only visible in the shallow wash of moonlight that pours through the gaps in the blinds of their room. Maybe thatās why he letās himself hope that his father is wrong, and that even if he is right, Antonio can live happy with this sin they call love.
But his life doesnāt allow for normal; and so he pretends he doesnāt feel a burning rush of pain the next morning when Luke claims not to remember the touches theyād shared. He pretends he doesnāt still feel the echo of Lukeās lips on his skin when the other boy says āi donāt remember anything at all.ā; And he pretends that his already bruised young heart doesnāt ache from defeat as he answers with a shrug of tense shoulders:
āI donāt remember either,ā
Chernabog: My character dominates yours.
There will be finger shaped bruises on his wrists in the morning, a matching set on his hips where theyāll be covered by cloth.
Ā He doesnāt care. Heās been fighting for control ,but heās ready to give it up. The marks on his skin remind him heās fragile and human, the slight ache he feels from them remind him this is real. And when the memories of his fatherās punishments creep into his mind as they kiss, the way Luke touches him reminds him that this is all okay; that their love is not a crime and their kisses are not sins for which theyāll be punished.Ā He all too gladly letās Luke kiss him until heās dizzy, lets him pin his hands above his head as he tells him not to move, lets his fingers dig into his hips and bruise the skin from the tight grip, letās Luke hold him as he falls apart. There is pain and there is pleasure. The pleasure makes him drift away on the tides of his mind and the pain brings him back- the fingers digging into his skin anchoring him to the moments heās been taught never to submit himself too.
And then thereās Luke, running his fingers through Antonioās hair as they lay together sweat slick and panting. Thereās that same smile that made Tony fall for him in the first place and murmurs of sweet nothings in his ear. And then thereās the promise that melds with the discoloured flesh of his wrists, soft spoken and hidden yet expressed in a thousand different ways with a thousand different looks and touches, one that they never need to say but both know.
Iām here, Iām real, I love you.
