Summary
“Greg, you’re being too fucking polite for your own good,” Tom says, throwing back the last of his wine. “Say something mean right now.”
“Like what?”
“Don’t get distracted, finish your thought. Try saying what you’re really thinking.”
“I don’t—“
“Fine, I’ll do it for you. ‘Oh, I’m Greg, uh, I hate capitalism but actively participate in it, oh, God, Logan Roy is my real dad. Oh, God. Kiss me, Tom.’”
“Okay—“
“‘Oh God, Tom, take me home.’ Okay, seriously, I’m getting the bill.”

quote:
“Like — commitment, and love, and everything — that’s supposed to be rewarding, it’s supposed to feel good.” As he’s talking, he’s realized the wine has gone right to his system.
“It’s not supposed to feel good, Greg,” Tom says, in that exasperated tone.
“I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to feel sort of good—“
“No. No, trust me. It’s disappointing, and exhausting, and it eats you from the inside out. It is also terrifying. It is life or fucking death, Greg. This is grade-school stuff. Come on.”
“Oh.”
“Listen to me,” Tom says, suddenly dead serious. “Maybe it’s all show tunes for some people, maybe for them it’s fine. But not people like us.”Back in the apartment, they switch off the lights and get to his room without any preamble. Greg finds himself lying on his side, shirt still on, belt undone. Tom is sitting above, looking at him, undressing quickly.
“God,” he says, leaning down, his breath hot on Greg's neck, “I would destroy the fucking system for you, if I could. I would make the two of us look like the only sane people on the boat — I would.” Tom pinches his nipple through his shirt, hard. “I would also sell you out just as quickly.”
“Um,” Greg breathes, doing a bad job hiding how turned on and confused he is, “okay. Why?”
Tom rolls him onto his back, climbing over him. “Because I know, given the right circumstances, you would do the same thing to me.”
Greg doesn't speak. He feels Tom brush a strand of hair from his forehead, and then he's kissing him, every part of his body burning. There's nothing terrifying about it at all.Is he gay? Is he just stupid? Does he like the attention?
