BL? ..."Boy's Love"? [She picks the book up and flips it over, eyes skimming the back. Then grabs a different title, squinting at the summary there.]
Oh, okay. So it's PG-13 cartoon porn. Neat. [She pushes the volume into his chest, a mild fuck-you coated in affection.] Pretty progressive. Getting caught with this shit in my hometown is a good way to end up bloody in a ditch.
[grits teeth, sometimes you don't realize how insane your experiences are until you meet people outside of them]
Come on. Small town in the south of America? Bible-thumpers by the dozen? [She shakes her head.] Not much love there for anyone who puts a toe out of line.

I'm working on it. The overseers might be able to put up a barrier, or I can go under lock and key. Maybe restrained.
