^{“     THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE START OF A BAD PICK UP LINE .    ”     an all consuming smile , an exhale of air . blue eyes watch the lift of the other’s brow , listening to the curiosity in his intonation . ‘ show me ’ – the words sound like a command , as if they were born from something greater than flesh and bone . it made the boy feel strange , as if he had no choice but to oblige the other . and so he did , with hands curled into a fist . there’s no spark , just the sudden flame dancing at his knuckles , surrounding his unmarked skin .     “     just so you know , i don’t do tricks . i’m not a sideshow freak .     ”}
