Double Sided Mirror

by billius_the_third, Conan_gravy

Summary:

Finch never truly understood the word 'secret'. If it's a secret, why bother telling anyone at all? But when he caught his older brother kissing another boy, he was told to keep it a 'secret', so he did. Until his father found out he liked kissing boys too. But if Richard could, why couldn't he? Voicing that, however, seemed to be the wrong choice. At only 15, kicked out by his father and disowned by his older brother, not bothering to tell the news to his eldest brother, he stayed under the guidance of a kind teacher for a few years before he fended for himself.
Up until... the gas station.

Rudy never liked people. Other than Vinn, he hated the idea of humans altogether. Though he never thought he'd hurt one. That all changed when a group of bullies in their town jumped Vinn, leaving him with broken ribs and a broken spirit. The next thing he knew, he had blood on his hands, and they were both skipping town. Life after was... okay. They settled in an abandoned gas station an found a... cheap and sustainable way of getting oil. Everything was fine until Vinn started losing his mind and... "fell" into the machine that turned humans into oil.
He was numb after that.
Well... up until he showed up.

Chapter 1: Prologue 1- Rudy

Vinn loves me

He stabs words into my chest

He says he knows

Says I no longer love him

How to make us rich

He's a fool

He loves me

He no longer cares

He's able

He made it

I can tell

It's perfect

He's perfect

Deepset eyes and a palm to a blade

he's mine

soft hands and a blade to my neck

I'm his

calloused hands shove his ribs

Time stops intersecting and

I realize now what I have done

He sank into what he built

For us

I can hear his ribs spinning

Grinding

Snapping

I look away

His eyes would've glowed in pride

If he saw what it could do

It really wasn't meant to be him
