Summary
“I don’t need to know what you are,” Illuga says. “Just give me something. Something to cling to the next time you run headfirst into danger alone.”
Flins sees the ghosts behind those pleading eyes, the shadows he tries to bathe in light, to pretend his lantern could drown them out rather than push them further into the corners of his mind. And he knows the stories, knows the haunted past that Illuga doesn’t like to talk about, the reason Flins’ answer matters.
He settles on a simple, yet vague truth.
“I am… not so easily killed,” he admits.
“If you’re lying to me,” Illuga says. “I will summon you from the grave and kill you myself.”

Summary
Flins catches Illuga smoking. He feels very normal about it.
As Illuga breathes in, Flins feels the plant fibres burn in his flame, but most vividly, the image returns: the embers of the cigarette lighting up azure, himself travelling along their path, past Illuga’s lips, his throat, burning in his lungs as his broad chest expands, penetrating his bloodstream, spreading outward into his strong limbs and stronger heart, being absorbed by Illuga wholly and fully, and it makes him feel more heady than anything he’s ever consumed in the past.

Summary
Illuga hears something from behind him and swears to Solovei his heart stops. Slowly he turns to look over his shoulder, slowly he locks eyes with the subject of his fantasies.
“Apologies, Young Master. It was not my intent to disturb you,” Flins says. He’s sitting gracefully in Illuga’s favorite chair, having dragged it from the living room to the foot of his bed. “But, you called my name.”

Summary
“Flins, be honest with me,” and maybe he was running on too little sleep, making his mouth a bit too loose, “is there a problem with it? Does it not get up?”
Flins froze.
“What?”
“Your–”
“Dear Master Illuga,” Flins sat by the edge of the bed. “There’s no need to continue that sequence of words,” he gently explained, ignoring the blush that rose to his pale cheeks.
It wasn’t often that he managed to fluster the ever so teasing Flins.
“We can find a way to work this out,” Illuga insisted, his hand finding Flins' to hold it in empathy.
