( send a 💗 to kiss my muse ) / no longer accepting for now.

MAYBE THE STARS DON’T EVEN MAKE SENSE, but they act like punctured holes in a dark sky, allowing him to breathe. He’s spent move of his life without them since the city lights and air pollution pushed them away, enveloping him in a whole other scene. Not necessarily trapped in it’s vast and restless concrete jungle, but not necessarily free when everything is so bunched together: people and buildings alike. He didn’t fully appreciate the stars he only had brief glimpses at, those specks in the sky only sometimes, until Tivoli, where he could see every single one of them on an Upstate New York farm. It’s one of very few things he missed.
So when things don’t make sense, he finds himself seeking them out: an impossible mission, but he takes this boy with him. The one who might as well have dropped from the sky they look at now. Down on the grass of a park mostly-abandoned at this time of day, he picks at it. It’s relatively silent, the sort you can decide whether or not is awkward by the counts of holding their breath. He counts three times in the past hour they sit here, him playing tug-of-war with a stick and his dog, feeling like the city traffic is a stop-and-go in his chest. Often, he glances at him, as though just checking he’s real. He is, and it’s weird, but the sort of weird that just twists as much confusion as it does a smile on your face.
And yes, he was hyper-aware of the fact their elbows kept brushing against each other. Very aware of how close the other’s lips are. Yes. He was aware. ━━ but for some reason, he couldn’t grasp why fingers were suddenly against his cheek after Daisy took off again, now facing ━━then losing sight as lips pressed against his own. He sighs, melts into him, and sets his hand ontop of the other’s. The other curves against his cheek. ( wait. what? )
He breaks an inch apart, lashes fluttering, in awe, wondering if he’s just dreaming. No, it felt real enough. Make it feel real again, he urges himself, pulling himself back in a little firmer. It’s a smile that makes it half-clumsy.

SOMEWHERE HE’S SAFE IN HIS APARTMENT, ONLY WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS ON A CLOUDLESS NIGHT. The rain manifested itself on the cold sweat and hot tears abandoning a body panting into a soaked pillow ; the boy tense with gritted teeth, the boy gripping the pillow with a fist ready for a fight he’s clearly never going to win.
He’s here in his apartment. Technically.
Beneath wet lashes is a whole other story on replay. A scratched record that refuses to give up. One that skips, repeats, and gives him no rest. It’s a never ending song about how you can’t bury ghosts. Not when they live inside you.
And he knows they’re there. And when you’re dreaming, part of you always knows it’s not real. But sometimes, it feels too real. Sometimes you lose yourself. Like he is right now, despite having this dream a thousand times, knowing nothing is going to change the ending.
He’s on a bus. Stuck to the seat, hearing the hiss of the bus door open for new passengers. Face after face, he remembers each one. Two people in front of you, one blonde woman across you, two people already sitting under the railing. Three of them are wearing glasses, two have them propped on top of their head. New passenger arrives, he wears a bomber-jacket with the wrong name sewn above his heart. Philip waves, two fingers in peace, an impulse. He doesn’t want to wave. He feels like shit. This day makes him feel like shit. Another boy rushes past that boy that ignored him. Tommy ignores Philip for the thousandth time. And the killer arrives inevitably after. For some reason, this is always the trigger. The scene he knows well, but it’s that face that has you choking on air.
No. Get out, get out, get out !
The bus doors begin to close, the killer wearing the baseball cap goes to sit next to Philip, and they’re both staring at Tommy. (�� he’s gonna die.... he’s gonna die.... you’re gonna die... everyone’s gonna die ). But the seat feels like glue. He can’t move, can’t budge. He peers over, he sees the killer’s pocket and in the dream he knows what’s in it. TOMMY GET OUT. ( Don’t kill him, it’s me you want. ) GET OUT.
Back in the apartment, a jaw clenches tight and teeth grind together.
Philip tries to get up and when he does, he flies forward, Tommy flies back. No. ( Tommy stay still, I’ve got to talk to you. I’m not gonna leave this time. ) Feet move not on their own accord, sliding their way to an open bus door. ( No, NO, I’M NOT LEAVING THIS TIME ! ) He grips to the railing and Tommy stares at him, the killer staring at Tommy. ( COME WITH ME, GET OUT OF HERE, GET AWAY FROM HIM. ) His grip slides and everyone on the bus looks at him funny. He grips tighter, and the bus levels forward. He’s sliding more and more, nothing able to keep him on-board. He tries, he tries everything he can, but he can’t stay. He wants to scream, but only a whisper comes out:
❛ Tommy, run.... he’s gonna kill you. ❜
Like a vacuum, he’s sucked right out and a second later. The moment he tries to move forward and back onto the bus, he stumbles forward into a blood-soaked cabin. Three bodies. One’s barefooted. It’s not the killer. It’s just some other victim. Philip stumbles back, keeps stumbling. There’s a shadow in there, the man with the baseball cap. The one with all the blood on his hands.
Somewhere behind him, the sound of a motocross bike starts reeving, tires spinning against the forest-floor . He can hear him flee. Without him this time.
( GET THE BIKE, GET THE BIKE ! )
Wasn’t that his line? Why is he here, why is he here?! This wasn’t the order! HE’S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. NOT NOW!!
And why can’t he run . . . WHY CAN’T HE RUN??
