Guh. Everything about this story hits hard and works brilliantly. Why is there so much beauty in sadness?!? This, in particular, killed me:
some boys just respond to me that way. Like Flint… I knew why he wouldn't leave me alone and why that made him cross, but there wasn't anything I could do about it. I can't help how I am.
It was similar with James, only playful. James didn't scare me. And… Well, I thought I wanted him. And that maybe if I did it, he'd stick by me and make Flint back off.
The (amazing) sex scene reads all the more powerful thanks to this peek into Scorpius' world. To sum it up: wow.
