[ larry's managed to have an actual conversation (of sorts) with gene; he can manage an actual conversation with maine, too. he can. it's just that now he also knows what maine looks like naked, what his skin feels like beneath larry's fingertips.
(would it feel the same if he touched him now? he wasn't scarred and burnt in the aerie.)
he's been thinking a lot. about the man he'd been there. about the man he is here. about joy and acceptance and positions of power and privilege. about loss, too. ]
Good enough.
[ he's fine. it's fine.
(what would not be fine: if maine felt that larry had abused his privilege or power in some way in the aerie. if maine liked the man he'd been there better than the man he is here?
vomits emotions @ u oops
