‘Yours.’

Summary
‘Come now, love. Food and water. Pretend we are in the cave again.’ Eddie lifts him easily, bridal style, he carries Steve into the kitchen as if he weighs nothing. The wings are gone.
Steve frowns, reaching behind to feel where they once were but is met with only knobbly bones and sharp shoulders. ‘I miss them.’
‘I know you do.’ Eddie nuzzles his cheek. ‘You loved me first as a winged thing, pathetic and small.’
Despite himself, Steve grins. ‘I did.’
‘Do you love me now, in this form?’
A sobering feeling settles in his bones, bringing clarity to the moment, reality. They’re in Steve’s penthouse, the kitchen. There is still blood and viscera, black and grey. Steve is naked. Eddie is not.
Steve has human blood on him.
A man rent into four pieces.
You called to me in this way.
Yeah well, you changed your number.
