he was so pale, so much whiter than i’d expected. his hair and eyes, his features were dark, they contrasted against his skin sharply. except his lips – his lips were pink, and full, and lush. they were soft, and expressive, almost feminine. my own twitched and tingled when i thought of them meeting.

When I was that age, all I wanted was transformation. Looking back, I wonder if I ever achieved it, or if I’m really just a bigger version of the same person. More tone, more development, but all based on that original, neurotic sketch.

outside, he was normal, his natural self hidden in plain sight. his hair was unkempt; his cowlick couldn’t be tamed although he tried, his glasses had vintage block frames, he hated shaving so he was usually scruffy. he had a tattoo below his elbow, a cuckoo clock, and he’d cried while getting it, from the pain. he’d went with his dad a few months before his dad died, matching tattoos...

When I told him I really liked a certain song, he would look at me with...
