    “Oh, hey, okay. You’re serious.”

    Dev pushes up imaginary sleeves like he’s getting down to business, ready to follow Charlie’s spiraling thoughts down
    whatever paths they need to take.

    “You’re so good at seeing other people. I wish you could see yourself.”

    “How can I help when it gets like this?”

    Dev folds himself tighter against Charlie, all those lovely sharp points digging in. “You can just stay,” he says, at last. “No one ever stays.”
  • mehas quoted5 months ago
    Charlie thinks about all the times he’s pushed someone away because he didn’t want them to see his anxiety and his obsessiveness, and he thinks about what he really wanted all those times people took him at his word. He climbs back onto the bed and reaches out for Dev. Dev pulls away, fights him off, eventually curls down against his chest, and holds on tight. Dev sinks deep into Charlie, crying into the folds of his oxford shirt.
