Summary:

“If this is a charmed space,” June says, “Then what you and I do in here won’t really matter. If you want me to touch you, I’m willing.”

It’s not a request for a sweet wheedled out by a child but an offer of comfort made by a man.

Nice sucks in a sharp breath, and June can practically see the denial perched on the tip of his tongue. They’ve spent enough time together for that.

They’ve spent enough time together for this, too: June is no longer the angry, fumbling, confused child he’d been at fifteen. He knows Nice, now. He can see him, perhaps more clearly than Nice thinks he does and more clearly than Nice would like. For all that Nice preens with attention, he does not especially like being seen and known.

But that’s too bad. June can see him, and June is old enough now, mature enough now, to know what it is that Nice needs. Sex is no longer a strange, uncomfortable mystery to him.

He crosses the mirror-charmed room in quick strides and picks up Nice’s thin, bony hands, sliding his hands down to Nice’s thin wrists and pushing his thumbs into the soft spaces of tendon and ligament, pushing hard until his touch sparks real pain, until the pressure causes a sickly, buzzing numbness in the tips of Nice’s fingers.

June is growing up and growing into himself. And then there’s Eden.

The two babies of the family get themselves into a big, stupid mess.
