Summary
“It’s okay,” Naim said. There was still blood seeping from his mouth.
“No.” Ryan shook his head. He didn’t know where to touch Naim, didn’t know if he trusted himself to. Carefully he reached for his wrist, the closest thing, and pulled his hand from where it clenched white around the railing. “No, fuck. Come here—”
Ryan could see the ragged skin of the gash beneath Naim’s chin, the blood still dripping freely onto his collarbones. A deep wine-purple was blooming at his brow. And Ryan had done this, the real Ryan.

Summary
“Yeah but. Do you want me to have the ring?” Naim asks. The sides of his lips are all cut up, melting into the swollen gash of his mouth. The entire left side of his face is scraped from being forced onto the concrete. It’s ghastly. He’s still the prettiest person Ryan’s ever seen.
Naim’s really asking if he wants him or not, and Ryan does, of course he does. “Of course,” says Ryan.
Somehow, there are much more monstrous things in the world than the demon who wears Naim's face. Once they pledge their commitment to one another, Ryan finds out just how much.

Summary
Ryan’s head hasn’t stopped swimming with thoughts– he wants to say so much, and ask so many questions, even if he’s scared of the answers. More than anything, he wants to apologize profusely. But what he thinks about now is the inevitable dread of splitting up to their houses when they get back– the cold night and colder house with people who don’t speak to him before he goes to bed anymore.
He thinks back to the mill. He doesn’t know if anything will ever be like that again.
Plus, Naim’s gaze puts any coherent thoughts out of his head. Naim’s gaze darting to his lips, and back, and moving towards him feels like some siren call. And he's not really well equipped to deal with resisting that.
Or: The hospital scene + the bus scene, but from Ryan’s point of view.

Summary
“Naim!”
A hand clamps down on his wrist and Naim’s brain flatlines. He doesn’t so much decide on his next actions as he does feel himself, all at once, curl his fist, spin on the balls of his feet, and punch Not-Ryan as hard as he can in the cheek. Wild-eyed and breathing erratically, Naim hears the entity shout in pain, watches it stumble back, and he freezes.
3 times they hurt each other, and 1 time they manage not to.

Summary
Hunter, who wore the heavy burden of being a preacher's son, wished to write poems
Naim, who saw the world in prose, wished he could wield a sword to raise against those who would harm the one he loved
Ryan, who knew violence too well, wished he could change the world to be softer
---
A character study, of sorts, of each of these character's POV of the events in Leviticus, as well as epilogue scenes for Naim and Ryan.
