Then he whispered, 'I am real. You are real.'
'Make me believe you,' Andrew said.
And Thomas kissed him, hard and fierce and merciless. All teeth and tongue as he took everything from Andrew and devoured him whole. Andrew's teeth sank into Thomas's lip until the old scab burst open again, and then it was impossible to do anything but breathe as one.

“Andrew lowered his head so his mouth was close to Thomas's ear. 'Wake up. I need you to tell me if we're real.'
Thomas didn't open his eyes, but his face had gone soft; all that fierce anger and lonesome fear slipped away.
'Kiss me,' he said, low and sleepy. 'Then you'll find out.”
