ALEJANDRO DE LOS REYES: TELL ME YOUR STORY - I WANT TO KNOW EVERY PART OF YOU.
forty something years of history, and alejandro wanted to hear all of it? kit found that hard to believe. there were more significant parts than others, and some darker parts, too, which made kit a bit reluctant to summarize such a long life of inconsistencies. the other man was gazing at him with those dark and expressive eyes, piercing right through him, as if he could already see the information etched into his bones. if it was anyone else asking, kit would try to shy away from the conversation, asking about the other person, instead. with alejandro, it was easier to understand that, since the other man cared about him, he cared to know about the rest of him, too. ‘ay, mi vida . . .’ he couldn’t stop himself as he chuckled, sliding a nervous hand through dark curls, one falling back to its place on his forehead. ‘you say that as if it would be easy. my story isn’t a constantly pleasant one - it’s filled with neglect, loss, and some things i can say that would make a good man - perhaps a man i care deeply about - look at me differently,’ sheepishly, kit brought his eyes up to meet alejandro’s, searching for comfort there, even still. ‘i’ll tell you everything,’ almost everything. ‘but you are welcome to stop me at any time,' @adanimi.
