    Summary

    Firm but trembling arms enclosed Naim. Warm breath fanned his neck as Ryan spoke to him. He was crying now too, Naim could tell because Ryan’s cheek was damp against his skin.

    “I forgave you the minute you left that car. I know you were scared. I was too.”

    Ryan looked into Naim's eyes now. Ryan’s eyes were so blue and so beautiful even when they were red rimmed and glassy. His touch was soft as he swiped his thumbs across Naim's cheeks.

    “But I was never scared of this, Naim.”

    Just like the entity had told him at the door. Naim had believed him then. Would Ryan hurt him now? Take back his gentle words and break his heart again? Naim wouldn’t be able to survive it.

    “I was only ever scared of losing you.”

    OR Ryan and Naim's first night together after leaving town.

    Summary

    The town had already killed Ryan and Naim the moment they let that healer cross their threshold. A little more violence hardly mattered to them. The manner of Ryan’s devotion definitely didn’t.

    or: canon divergence where naim jumps into the fight against macca's boys to protect ryan (and gets hurt)

    Summary

    She really doesn’t look like a threat; as unassuming as her husband and sporting a kindly face, but the threat lingers, of letting Naim off with a stranger, of that stranger potentially leaving him alone anyway, of Naim getting hurt. They are both 18 now; no one can call the cops to take them away back to Bandee, so he supposes he should take comfort in that. Ryan is just so loath to leave him. Naim’s too trusting, too sweet, despite being burned again and again and again by adults acting in bad faith. They separate without touching, an unfamiliar sensation that sits under Ryan’s skin and buzzes with wrongness like flies in a trap.

    Ryan hopes their house is warm. Naim gets cold so easily.

    Naim falls ill. Ryan has to leave him with a stranger and go to work anyway.
