He's throwing Ryan around the room, against the walls. Pulling his hair, forcing him to his knees while he's red from holding back tears. Pete fucks his face until he's gagging on it, tears streaming down his cheeks and breaking the act of bravado and nonchalance. He cums down Ryan's throat and makes him swallow, pulling at his hair and slapping him until he does as he's told

What IS intimacy? Is it two lost souls finding each other in their isolation from the world or is it being able to feel the fear of hot breath on his neck and feel secure in the knowledge that they will kill him last in the world? Is that intimacy?
