He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips.

Silas knows three things for certain: Ezra loves him more than anything in the world. Ezra would never hurt him on purpose. Ezra will, quite literally, be the death of him. *** Ezra and Silas have been inseparable their entire lives, for better or worse. Theirs is the kind of attachment that makes "forever" sound less like a promise and more like the premise of a true crime documentary. After eighteen years of proximity, distance finally exposes the rot. But even then, neither of them can let go. *** A study in codependency with a touch of romance, and no happy ending in sight. CW: graphic violence, blood/gore, harsh depiction of mental illness, sex & strong language
