[The only thing Kavinsky was particularly captivated by was Elijah. He had one hand resting on Eli's knee, familiar and casual, and occasionally leaned his head on the other boy's. It was nice to be close and comfortable like this, any earlier tensions more or less fizzled out.
He looked over when Elijah spoke, letting the words sink in. Maybe it was something Kavinsky himself should've brought up with Eli--or maybe Skov should have, but lord knew Skov wasn't the right person to talk about it. Skov could barely handle himself, half the time.]
What about me? It's a good idea, though. Shit can get crazy sometimes; it's better to have a firm way to tap out.
[And there was no shame in tapping out, either. The boys could be cruel sometimes, but they understood boundaries and limits. If someone wasn't having a good time anymore there was nothing wrong with them taking steps to make themselves comfortable.
Some days, things could be tame. Others, Kavinsky could get high out of his mind and pull a gun on someone, feeling invincible. His boys were usually game to play along, but not always.]
