Amazon: "Neil Josten is the newest addition to the Palmetto State University Exy team. He's short, he's fast, he's got a ton of potential"
Me: wow okay this sounds like something I'm totally interested in go on
Amazon: "—and he's the runaway son of the murderous crime lord known as The Butcher."
Me: *sLAMS FACE INTO MY DESK BC WHAT THE FUCK*
it's in the gestures
the gentle brush of their hands
the grin sent one way after a win
the secret kiss shared on the rooftop
the looks exchanged behind the team
it's in their words
the little conversations on the bus
the whispered promises in the night
the biting words to prove a point
and the teasing remarks of little meaning
the cigarettes burn
they spell the words for them in shared smoke
there's the silent companionship at home
with the midnight ice cream and shared spoons
making use of the couch for cuddles
two lazy cats sitting nearby
gentle hands moving across skin
worry after a hard blow
the game won but a lover injured
snarls and
