  Summary

  Darry isn’t completely ignorant. He knows what this is. This isn’t the first time a boy has made his chest tighten and his heart flutter. Darry knows how this goes, and he knows it won’t end well. But it’s too intoxicating to resist.

  A meditation on being needed, being wanted, and kissing a boy.
