    Summary

    Valar loves routines, loves control, loves always keeping everything in its proper place. He wakes up, makes his bed with perfect precision, has his breakfast — black coffee and toast accompanied by homemade jam made from sweet, fresh fruits. He loves a clean and organized environment, so that his mind can also remain clear and organized.

    But that changed drastically ever since he and Aerion started sharing an apartment — his parents’ idea, of course. They thought it would be a good way to supervise Aerion during his time at university and, so, in Valar’s second year in the course, Aerion was invading his apartment.

    His younger cousin was very expansive, and it didn’t take long for the apartment to start reflecting that. The floor was constantly littered with discarded clothes and jewelry, wrinkled fabrics that scratched against Valar’s bare feet when he crossed the room. The furniture, once perfectly aligned, was always slightly out of place, as if the entire house had been pushed a few centimeters off its axis.

    OR Aerion is being a menace to Valarr’s sanity (Valarr secretly likes this)

    Summary

    “You’re trying to make me jealous.”

    “Is it working?”

    “Yes.”

    Valarr agrees to share a house with his cousin Aerion because their fathers think one of them needs independence and the other needs supervision.

    Instead, Valarr gets Aerion in his clothes, in his bed, under his skin and increasingly determined to prove that Valarr wants him there.

    By December, neither of them is pretending very well.

    Summary

    Valarr kneels every evening in the second pew of the church, praying for a soul that was never meant to be saved. He does not yet know that faith is its own kind of thirst, or that caring for someone could taste like copper and feel like surrender.

    Summary

    “Not that I don’t like smoking, satisfies my oral fixation or whatever. I just hate the fucking taste it leaves on my tongue.”, Aerion mused.

    Valarr took another drag from his cigarette and leaned back. He observed Aerion with an unreadable expression. “What about the taste on someone else’s tongue?”
