Sometimes Jake's leg doesn't move right and his mouth will falter against Tommy's mouth, throat, collarbone. Tommy pretends he doesn't notice. But he does. He notices the way Jake limps a little with his left leg, the careful way he pulls himself up. The way he keeps Tommy away from anything below mid-thigh carefully, always calls it quits before anyone's pants can come off. The first couple times, he puts it down to Jake being in the closet. After that, he starts to realize it's something worse.
But he still doesn't say anything.
