“It was a hand-drawn crossword puzzle. Messy and a little lopsided, the whole square leaning to the right. At the top of the page, Larkin had tried to recreate the doodled ‘S’ I’d shown him before, writing out Seb’s Special Crossword in the same style.”

“I just want to hold him, to whisper over and over that he’s going to be okay, and that I’ll be here to help him with whatever he needs every step of the way. But my touch isn’t welcome, my presence isn’t wanted, so I’ll do what I can and love him from a distance, be there for him from a distance, no matter how much I hate it.”

“Can I be honest with you?” “You know you can.” “I’d almost forgotten you existed.” He looked at me, but I saw no offense in his eyes. “Because anything else would’ve been too painful.”
― Ashe Moon, Bound to the Omega

“I’m still fighting against him, but his hold is too tight. “You’re—Fuck, Bunk. You’re my little psycho.” I freeze, blinking at him as my brain resets. My little psycho.”
