E 3

—In the backyard—
Roderick is trying to set up a picnic blanket.
Emerson is laughing as Hael keeps flicking croissants at Roderick.
Damien has a book but keeps glancing at Louis and Arien.
Louis lies on the grass, arms folded behind his head.
Arien is beside him, close, tracing shapes into the air with a stick.
If I get taller than you one day, will you still protect me?
Louis Adelio
Louis Adelio
You won’t.
Arien Hudson
Arien Hudson
But if I do?
Louis Adelio

Then I’ll still protect you
Arien Hudson

You’re my favorite person in the world
Louis Adelio

Louis Adelio

Arien Hudson
Arien Hudson
(smiles, rolls onto his side to face Louis)
Arien Hudson
Arien Hudson
I’d follow you anywhere, Looie
Louis Adelio
Louis Adelio
(Quietly)
Louis Adelio
Louis Adelio
Then stay close.

Later
Roderick, Emerson, Hael, and Damien were sitting on the Porch
Roderick Hudson
Roderick Hudson
So… should we talk about how Louis is basically 15 going on feral husband?
Damien Adelio
Damien Adelio
He’s always been that way.
Damien Adelio
Damien Adelio
Arien just… sharpens it.
Emerson Hudson
Emerson Hudson
And softens it, somehow.
Hael Ashton
Hael Ashton
He didn’t speak for three weeks after Arien got the flu.
Roderick Hudson
Roderick Hudson
He didn’t let me touch Arien.
Roderick Hudson
Roderick Hudson
I had to get permission.
Emerson Hudson
Emerson Hudson
They’re too young to understand the depth, but… it’s there.
.
Evening
Louis is walking Arien back to the his house, next door.
Arien Hudson
Arien Hudson
You’re walking me back like I’m fragile.
Louis Adelio
Louis Adelio
You are.
Arien Hudson
Arien Hudson
You’re wrong.
Arien Hudson
Arien Hudson
I’m strong when you’re beside me.
Louis stops.
Stares down at him.
Louis Adelio
Louis Adelio
Don’t say things like that.
Arien Hudson
Arien Hudson
Why not?
Louis Adelio
Louis Adelio
Because it makes my chest hurt.
Arien slips his small fingers between Louis’s, tugging him close.
Arien Hudson
Arien Hudson
Then let me fix it.
Louis stays silent.
But he doesn’t let go.
