    Summary

    “You take such good care of your town,” Daniil sighs, lifting Artemy’s fingers to his lips. “You’ll bleed for it, you’ll spill blood for it. You’ll give everything you have—everything you are—to take care of it.” He looks up from Artemy’s hands, his eyes sharp. Demanding. “But who takes care of you?”

    Artemy can’t speak. His bones are loosening under Daniil’s touch, his stomach dropping inside him even as heat pools in his cheeks, in his chest. Something dark and sweet has begun to uncoil in his belly.

    “Answer me,” says Daniil. Every word is enunciated carefully, every syllable plucking sweet sharpness in Artemy’s gut. “Who takes care of you?”

    Summary

    If Artemy could memorize the Latin vocabulary required for an exam – that satisfied him. But beyond that, what use could he have for learning a barbaric, emotionless and clinically precise language like that?

    The answer to that question came to him years later, clothed in a snakeskin coat and with an arsenal of snappy remarks that somehow enamored Artemy as much as they annoyed him.

    ***

    Artemy wishes to confess his love to Daniil. He's considering learning how to speak Latin in order to do so. But at what cost?

    Summary

    The sound of a throat being cleared kindly interrupted the inevitable argument.

    "Burakh, have you got a minute?"

    Artemy must have noticeably perked up at the sound of Daniil's voice if Rubin's eye roll was any indication. He turned to his partner ("Not while we're in the clinic!" The Daniil in his head admonished for his word choice), and tried not to look as thrilled to see him as he felt. "I suppose so. What do you need?"

    -

    It's a slow day at work, but Daniil has an idea to help alleviate the boredom.

    Summary

    "What of your other vices, then?" he asks, managing to make eye contact again, flicking his eyes quickly to the pout of Artemy's lip and back up. "Any of them outstayed their welcome?"

    Artemy inhales sharply. "No," he says, keeping his eyes on Daniil's. They're light, betraying the way his pupils have widened in the dimness of the bar. "No, rather the opposite."

    "You've been left wanting," Daniil chances. It's a risk.

    He watches Artemy's throat work through a swallow and knows it paid off. "I have."
