    Summary

    “Beautiful boy,” he sighs, the tip of his index finger trailing up and down my spine. He traces over the spot between my shoulder-blades—it's especially sensitive here, and I'm sure it has something to do with the Doctor's experiments, from back when tapping into my sealed powers had been a priority of his.

    Beautiful boy, not pretty. Beautiful.

    “Hmm?” I ask, drowsy and comfortable where I lie on his bed.

    “What is it that you believe in?”

    A strange question, certainly, but easily answered: “I believe in nothing at all.”

    Or: The boy - with a hollow chest - who believes in nothing, and the man whose heart beats this boy's name.

    Everyone has a story.

    Theirs isn't meant to be one of love.
