Why this must be read: It’s a one two punch that brushes Alec/Joshua's relationship. Like jaguarcaine, poisontaster has a gift and makes me see why and how well they work together. I only wish more authors were as daring.
It's dark and he's tired when Alec finally reaches the tiny, shack-like house that he's been calling home for the last few months. The wind is blowing soft and steady, gritty fingers on the back of his neck. He's been walking spooked all day, peripheral vision confused by everything shaking and skittering in the breeze. So when he unhooks the gate and steps into his postage-stamp back yard to find Joshua standing at the foot of the pitted, red-painted cement steps, Alec feels pretty sure this must be a dream. Or maybe the start of another nightmare. He's had plenty of both that have started just about like this.
"Hey, little fella," Joshua says, sounding like he just saw Alec yesterday, sounding like he isn't mad or hurt that Alec cut and ran.
