    Soap is physically affectionate by nature.

    Ghost is not.

    Johnny might just be rubbing off on him though.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    this was a study on longing that knocked me clean off my feet. sometimes people write stories that manage to be poetry at the same time. i want to print this out and eat it.

    "Can you pull that stick out yer arse for a minute?"
    "Why? You want to play fetch?" Ghost growls back.

    Summary

    They say soul drawings are three things. One: a way to recognize your soulmate. Two: a clue to help you find them. Three: a symbol of what your relationship will mean to each other.

    “A key is a hopeful sign, and an interesting juxtaposition with a wild animal’s paw print,” another therapist says to him, years later. Andrew is twelve and he’s never shown this one his soul mark, but it’s in his medical file, like everyone’s is. The doodle of the key, now sharp enough in his mind that even the teeth are the same every time, Andrew let slip by accident.

    “A key could mean a lot of things for someone like you,” the man continues. A foster kid, he means. A kid who hasn’t lasted longer than a year in the same household his whole life, he means. “What do you think it might symbolize in your relationship with your soulmate? A place to call home?”

    Andrew doesn’t get to have a place to call home. He knows that.

    “A door that locks,” Andrew says flatly.

    anyway sometimes people write poetry and you’re just supposed to live the rest of your day pretending someone didn’t just change u at your core

    Summary

    Andrew and Neil have a secret(ish) thing. A sort-of thing. A thing that's not exactly a thing, because rule number one of letting a guy sneak into your bed to sleep several nights a week (while you watch him from a safe distance and deny being interested in him) is this: under no circumstances are either of you allowed to talk about it.

    But with just two weeks left before summer vacation, they're running out of time to figure out what happens next.

    Or: Andrew procrastinates on his thesis, Neil sleeps in Andrew's bed, and it turns out that sex is a great alternative to talking about what’s actually going to happen once their semester is over.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    its kind of offensive how this reads like poetry and a fever dream and a work of art when its just two boys learning how to touch eachother. anyway this was incredibly painful to read in the same way that strong emotions are painful when they rip through u.
