Chris motherfucking Keller.
That’s was his name. He’s gone now and every step Toby takes hurts. It’s a pain that goes deeper than anything physical. It goes all the way to his heart, through his ribs, down to his aching cock.
To all those places Chris claimed as his own when they were fucking.
If Chris was here he would laugh at the lame Valentine Toby got from Marion.
It’s a card from some cheap mall with a teddy bear holding a heart on it.
There’s a box of chocolate that he’d have no problem stealing.
He’d tease Toby with it, slide some gooey stuff across his mouth, and then kiss him.
He’d talk about how Marion probably wouldn’t blow Toby with an inch of Chris’ expertise.
He’d be right.
Chris motherfucking Keller is dead.
He can’t laugh at Marion’s lameass attempt to rescue their doomed romance.
He would love Holly’s card.
It’s a teddy bear holding a shank. So nobody bad hurts her dad in jail again.
Toby knows Chris would go “attagirl” and grin his widest grin.
Toby should see Holly’s shrink and ask what she’s been telling her.
He’s secretly proud.

Rebadow smiles at Toby and talks of how Aggie and Norma are making out in the visitors’ room. Chris would laugh at Aggie and hit on Norma.
Chris fucking Keller would kiss Toby breathless and fuck him senseless.
He’d hold Toby and now all Toby has is a phantom pain where those arms should be.
Toby wishes he had a drink.
He eats chocolate instead.
Happy Valentines day baby, says Chris’ ghost in his ear.
The husky voice is as real as Toby’s pain.
