If Luther's honest with himself, there's not a lot of nights he's enjoyed as much as that night at the club. If he's even more honest, it's because of what had happened after the club, where for once his brain had shut off in just the right way and allowed him to take a near stranger home and actually enjoy it, this time. He thinks it had been a mutually enjoyable experience.

Really, he thinks that despite how inexperienced he is, and that he'd never really given too much conscious thought to having sex with another man-- he thinks it was good.

And he thinks about it a lot, spending a couple weeks with staring at Neil's contact in his phone and thinking about that night.

Luther doesn't really stop thinking about it, until he finally, very carefully types a message to Neil, saying that he'd like to see him again. He can only hope he didn't wait too long.

Either way, when they're finally set to meet up in the park, where there's coffee and ice cream and maybe even food trucks, it's about a month later and while Luther remains aware of implications down the road, he honestly does just want to see Neil again, to talk to him.

And yeah, the other stuff, but Luther only looks like a wild ape-man. He has self-control.

Luther misses the moon for a lot of different reasons.

Always quiet, for one, which was comforting more often than boring. He could make a few adjustments and take a few precautions here and there and enjoy feeling weightless, whenever he wanted. He knew his role, too-- a sense of purpose.

Only at least two of those things would be a pretense, at best an escape and at worst a joke.

It's not like he can go back to the moon, anyway, and it's not like it's his moon. But maybe he can look, maybe get to know this moon a little better, and that's how he ends up at some store that sells telescopes, at the same time there's some kind of... what, a field trip? A huge milling group of children in uniforms flooding into the store and Luther tries to be really careful as he pays for his purchase and attempts to extricate himself.

He's successful right up until he's outside the store and he steps onto some kind of chalk drawing, space hopscotch or something. The little boy responsible for it starts to cry, of course, and as Luther backs away, he nearly trips over a little girl, who takes one look up at him and screams.

"Sorry," Luther says helplessly, and sort of lopes down the street.
