Michel is a funny thing             /             all angles & bones that are uncomfortable to love, difficult to place             /             when he looks at Dakota, he sees all these uncomfortable places & bits of himself into something much sweeter & softer. Dakota was malleable, charmed by nicknames & presences             /             where Michel was unsettled by them, perturbed & disturbed by someone else’s watchful gaze on his. Watching, watched             /             Michel hated being watched, loved watching.

He loved being the first one to notice a group of men under a tent in this rare October heat was out of ice             /             all melted down, someone leaving the cooler lid casually unhooked           /                &  although this noticing meant very little to either he or them, he liked the power             /              & the knowledge that he was the first, the first, the first.

❛ You don’t want me to answer that ‘bout you, sweetheart. You look cute, though. ❜ Charm & charmer             /             that was Michel’s life motto, takes the blame off from being creepy             /              & no one ever suspects the guy everyone likes to be a freak. ( oh how’d they be wrong - don’t people know their statistics anymore? )

❛ Salesman? Why, I never. That’s an insult to injury, dove. ❜ Dakota’s so clean & unhurried, languid in his movements             /             Michel considers ending the nickname with - soap.
