Summary
“We’re alive, Ray,” Pete asserted, brown, weary eyes locked with Ray’s. “We’re fuckin’ alive. God, I’ve never felt more alive than right now. Feel this, mm?”
Peter clutched Ray’s hand and planted it on his scarred chest, a little to the left, right on his heart. Ray could feel it, felt it dancing and kicking, like it wanted to get out, share blood with the arteries that perfused the hand on top of it. It was alive, McVries was alive.

It’s been a month. A month since he left the hospital. Which means it’s been two months since...since the end. Or the beginning maybe? Two months since the rain and the crowd and the pain. Two months since he’d spoken to the boy he loved. And now he's stood outside his door, not sure what to do.
