Once again, I just thoroughly enjoy your take on friendships like Cutter and Stephen. It's downright adorable!
Fave Parts:
Cutter thought that was something of a pity, but then, Stephen had always been the one to help keep him accountable, and this incarnation was just as capable as his alternate.
--I can so see this.
Stephen actually looked hurt. “I am trying,” he said. “Isn’t it normal to worry about your friends?”
Cutter pulled up short, dragging Stephen to a stop. “Friends?”
Stephen blinked at him, realizing his slip up. He paled, jaw working. “I just meant--”
Cutter gripped his arm, holding his gaze. “You just meant I was your friend.”
Stephen looked visibly uncomfortable, body tense as he seemed ready to pull away, to bolt. But he kept himself painfully still. “There’s not really a better description--”
Cutter shook him emphatically. “You think we’re friends!”
CUTE!
