Years before Gale understands what arousal is, he watches two men grapple in an alley.Â
It’s something to watch. Something to keep the sleep at bay for a few more minutes as their clothes rumple and their heels kick up dust. Mostly in shadow, Gale can only see because he’s been sitting in the dark for hours. Anyone walking by would likely think it’s no more than two alley cats sciffling. At first he thinks they’re drunk, settling a score started over a card table. Bodies pushing together then apart, soft panting noises like weeping. A crowd at their hips, hands in the mix grasping and pulling.Â
Gale watches, breath a shallow ache in his chest and understands, through some sort of childish instinct, that this was something that should be kept a secret between him and the stars.Â
