my baby is looking up at him through her lashes. my baby sits on his lap. my baby puts her hands on his hips carefully, stoic almost, plucks his credit card up with a forefinger and thumb.
my baby reads the communist manifesto, draped over my couch, her loose hair falling to scud wisp-ends against my floor. my baby sighs into my collarbone, asks me why more men can't be like me. calls herself a scientist - this an experiment that requires repetition; her palms clutching my sheets.
my baby says tomorrow she's gonna leave him for-real. i tell her there's no rush. i tell her i'm used to the open cut, i already work around it. i've done this a lot anyway. girls that are straight-but. how they slide their hands up my ribs just to test something. their cheeks so pink and their voice so rough.
my baby says - since seeing me, she maybe wants to go back to school again. try something new. move to the city. my baby cut her hair short. has started talking back. says he doesn't do the dishes, says he doesn't get me.
keep thinking 'bout god and the melon i once cracked open on a beach. keep thinking about how it feels to lick a battery. how i like the jump much more than the falling.
my baby leans her body back. my baby almost says my name when she calls for him. my baby says amen in church. she stands tall and pretty. my baby kneels in chapel. and comes home to me.

i love when characters get angry when they're frightened. shelter dog characters. i love when they bite, not able to tell the difference between a hand that feeds and a hand that strikes. there is no difference. a hand is a hand is a fist. i love characters that are deemed unadoptable. unlovable.
and i love when someone loves them. i love when someone sits with them, patient. they don't flinch at the snarling and snapping. they're not trying to fix it—there's nothing to be fixed. this is you, all of you, and ill wait. because one day, one day you'll take the treat. go on, draw my blood. spit and curse and rage. you're safe with me. one day, you'll feel safe with me.

mitsuki has told katsuki "fix that face of yours" for years, since he was a child and old enough to make his ugly little gremlin expressions, and it used to only encourage him to pull an even worse one at her — but now he's a grown man and smitten and constantly worried he's unintentionally making the ugliest faces around you.

there's something so personal to me about Billy and Max. like, at first they'll be at each other's throats, max tap-dances on billy's last nerve until he says something that wounds her, and they're fighting about shit that they're both actively working through together and on their own so they don't poke holes in every good thing for the rest of their lives but still, somehow, always hurting each other without meaning to.
they're constantly arguing, at first. for a while. they're angry, right? billy doesn't trust max after she got his ribs broken for being gay, and max doesn't understand why he always shuts her out, and they'll yell and scream at each other, seemingly to no end--
but the second someone else speaks on it, they're out for blood.
max has given mike wheeler no less than three swirlies for calling billy an asshole.
billy knocked one of jonathan byers' teeth loose for calling maxine "unbearably loud & bitchy," and even after billy and steve get together and things are bathed in blue instead of angry, seething red all the time--steve says max is annoying, once, and billy almost calls the whole thing off.
they would do anything for each other.
it doesn't start out that way, but it gets better. they grow, they learn to work through shit, but it's messy at first.
they cling to each other until they can't feel themselves sinking anymore. until they learn to swim.
