    Summary

    “Rocky, I’m here, okay? Come back to me, pal, please.”

    Of course I will, I think, drawn to that voice, that strange, wobbling voice, which I care about without knowing exactly why, and I should – it makes me angry, not knowing – I should know –

    Summary

    How is he even supposed to respond to that?

    Thanks, I’m well aware of how people see me and how they want me. The one fumbling entanglement in the basement of a house party was enough for me though, because she found it weird when I started crying and then got so mad that I wouldn’t scent her that she left.

    And I only did it because she smelled so good, like a river, like fresh cut grass, and it made me so jealous I was dizzy with it. I wanted to be her, and I thought that was close enough to wanting her, and it wasn’t, and it took five minutes for my knot to go down after I locked myself in the bathroom to jerk off and I had a panic attack the whole time and then I threw up in the sink and vowed to be celibate for the rest of my life.

    “She’s not my type either,” he settles on, maybe more melancholic than he means to be.
