Summary
This thing can wear his face.
It can borrow his voice.
It can knock on the door and call for Naim.
But they don't know how Ryan walks.
And they don't know that, given the choice between fear and each other, the boys chose each other.
Again.
And again.
And again.
Or: The after

Summary
"Why don't you ever want me to touch you?" Naim says, his eyes flicking back up when he finds his words.
Ryan seems to take a moment to process the words before his face does a weird, stuttery thing, and he whips his head away from Naim's scrutiny. "That's not--" he shakes his head, like he's trying to figure out what he's trying to say. "Don't worry about that, Naim." He says, glancing at Naim from the corner of his eye.
Naim feels his brows furrow. "What?" He asks, because it's all he's thinking, and when Ryan doesn't respond, he adds: "I wanna make you feel good."
Ryan looks back to him quickly, shaking his head. "You do. You make me feel good." He says, voice adamant, and it makes Naim believe him, however foolishly. "So... Why does it have to be more than that? More than what we do now?" He looks at Naim through his eyelashes, warily, like he's worried how he'll respond. If he'll yell.
Naim doesn't yell. He watches Ryan for a while before relenting. "...Okay." he sighs, and he knows that Ryan can tell he's not truly done with the subject.

Summary
They don’t speak on the bus. Maybe it’s the fragile truce that’s formed since the bus passengers proved they were both somehow still alive. Together. Maybe it’s the soft peace that’s settled since Naim allowed himself to bury his face in Ryan’s shoulder once again. And Ryan nuzzled against him in return. Maybe it’s wondering if Ryan, too, sees his ghost watching as they pass through an endless, empty landscape.

They escape with no plan for Step 2.
