tune

He smiles and nods, standing to get dirt and push it gently over the others legs and torso, leaving his legs and hips uncovered. “There we go!”

Alex couldn't help but giggle a bit.
"Everyone is going to be so freaked out…"

Logan smiles softly and nods. "I better get home before it gets dark…but I'll come visit you tomorrow…"'he smiles softly and stood, waving his fingers

Alex couldn't wave, so he just offered a farewell smile.
"Thank you again, so much," he said. "I'll be looking forward to seeing you again."

“Of course Alex. Ill be back tomorrow, I promise” he smiles and skipped away

Alex nodded, relaxing. He knew Logan would keep his promise.

(Timeskip?)

(I don't mind!)

Alex had fallen asleep, as much as he could, but the next day he was awoken to a scream. It seemed people had finally noticed him.

Logan had been walking with his father when he heard the scream and smirked, following his dad into the woods and to Alex. He glanced at the other with a wink

Alex stayed quiet when Logan came with his father, just smiling in turn. He was able to shift just slightly, hands in his lap as he looked upon the other bystanders with distain.

The mayor quickly turned on Logan. “You! Did you and your little band of gay freaks do this?!”

“No, father!” His eyes were wide

Alex had been thinking over the night, and he knew how he was going to handle this. He gave a curt, dry, sarcastic laugh. He couldn't… couldn't afford to be the ray of sunshine.
"What, scared your measures to keep me trapped weren't enough? That cutting my muscles and tendons to keep me from moving will be found out?" Alex spoke loud enough so everyone gathering could hear him. He wanted them to know, wanted them to see this wasn't what had been planned for him.

The mayor looked from Logan to Alex, hissing. “We kept you alive to be a freak show. Now. We don’t have much use for you anymore, maybe it would be better to kill you”

“Father, stop!” Logan grabbed his arm. “It’s obvious he’s gone through enough. Don’t you see him always hurting forever is a much better punishment?” He flinched at his own words

Alex's eyes widened some. Death? Death sounded nice, it was better than falling apart at the seams. Still, Alex kept silent as Logan tried to save him. Did he want to be saved..?

The mayor and Logan had a heated argument until the mayor backed off, nodding and most of the townsfolk left. Logan oaised before walking to Alex silently

Alex watched, keeping silent as they argued.
"I… thank you for that," Alex said quietly, looking up at Logan.

He nodded his head silently and smiles gently. "Of course…I'm sorry for what I said, though…I didn't mean it…" He whispered

"It's alright, really. I know you didn't." Alex offered a smile, sighing some.

He forced a small smile and nodded his head, kneeling beside Alex's head, pulling out a fresh roll from the bakery and offering small pieces to the other

Alex quietly ate the bread provided, smiling some.
"I… Logan, really," The decaying man said softly, looking up. "You did what you did to protect me, and I'm so, so grateful for that…"

He glanced up, a piece of bread held out between them as he paused. "Yeah…but…I said bad things about you too…about me…"

"We do what we need to do to survive…" Alex looked away a moment.
"Well, for you to survive, at least.."

He paused at that before glancing at A,ex once more. He paused, shifting and laying beside the other as the sun started to set. "At least the views amazing…" He whispered
