    Summary

    Noel slowed to a stop, John following suit beside him.

    “Kid?” Noel asked. “Ya alright there?”

    Arthur didn't respond. Slowly, he turned his head to face the other side of the street.

    His eyes, though unseeing, burned bright as they gazed across the road. Noel followed his direction over the asphalt to find what had caught his attention.

    There, standing just in front of a shop front, a family stood all together: a father, a mother, and between them— just barely reaching their knees— a little girl.

    ---

    An easy walk brings Noel, Arthur, and John to the precipice of thoughts they'd much rather keep buried far below.

    Summary

    But things really were going smoothly, and they really were beginning to settle into their respective bodies, even with the occasional road bump. Even if there was still quite a lot John needed to learn about the world now that he was an active participant in it—social niceties and clothing and keeping up appearances.

    Yes, he had to wear shoes.

    Yes, he had to keep his napkin in his lap.

    Yes, he had to wait for the cab to pull up to the curb instead of running into the middle of the fucking road to fetch one himself and Arthur, why have you never done this before—

    And, goddamn it all, he needed to stop touching him.
    .
    .
    .
    Arthur slowly comes to realize that maybe his apprehension surrounding John's touch isn't entirely because of the opinions of the public.
