Summary
It started when he was younger, a passing thing he had done in the first foster home he could remember being in. He would close his eyes tightly, squeezing to the point he could make out sparks of color underneath his eyelids, and would take one last gasp for air before holding it just as tightly in his lungs. Then, he would wait.
The first time, he heard nothing but the sound of a porch swing creaking in the wind outside of his bedroom window. Cars passing by on the street outside. The gentle groans of a house eight times as old as him. No footsteps. Nobody coming running out of a divine sense that the little boy had stopped breathing. The world kept spinning and his lungs soon ached for the rapidly depleting oxygen. Nobody came.
The place changed, his lung capacity even changed, but the one universal constant was that nobody ever came through the door.
Maybe that's why Leon, drunk out of his mind on a motel floor, hadn't even heard the first knock.

Summary
“The only thing you’ll be doing tomorrow morning is kneeling over a toilet.”
Leon laughed, a drowsy grin tugging at his mouth as he tilted his head to the side playfully.
“You sayin’ you want me on my knees, Captain?”“Actually, I’d rather you just get in the car.”
Chris sighed, dragging him into the parking lot by one of the lapels on his leather jacket.“Wait, what?”
“You heard me, c’mon, bender’s over.”
{Chris has to deal with a very drunk and very flirty Leon after he's called to bail him out of jail for getting into a bar fight.}

What starts as futile fantasies to satiate Leon's attraction quickly grows into a mutual reach for connection that deepens their relationship. It is only when Chris invites Leon to a weekend trip in the mountains that the proverbial bubble bursts and finally exposes their raw, unfiltered feelings to the light for the first time.

Summary
Leon has become a master of the slow fade, a ghost haunting his own life until there’s nothing left but the sharp scent of whiskey and the hollow echoes of a man who stopped caring months ago. He exists in the spaces between memories he'd rather forget, pulling the shadows around him like a second skin.
Chris is the only one who refuses to let him vanish. Armed with a stubborn, quiet persistence and a refusal to look away, he remains the sole anchor in Leon’s drifting world. It’s a heavy, wordless vigil, a tug-of-war between Leon’s desperate need to isolate and Chris’s terrifyingly steady presence. In the suffocating stillness of what remains, they are forced to navigate the blurred lines of a bond that is as much a lifeline as it is a burden.
A study of the fine line between saving a man and breaking him further, navigating an intimacy neither was ever trained to handle.
