The two had clandestine meetings at many different places, including each other’s apartments, as Thomas fully explained to Peter how he made his ability work and slowly related his life story (minus the bully incident and other pieces of information that might help give his identity away) to be published as a serial.
And an element of calm soon came over the city in relation to Thomas, aka The Blur: the naysayers faded into the background and the city came to terms with their unlikely hero who had come from a small town in the middle of nowhere and who was here to stay.
Thomas and Peter quickly became friends, getting closer and closer during meetings that would turn into all-night chats ending on the balcony watching the sun come up. Until one glorious summer evening when, in a pause, their eyes met, the silence was filled with a kiss and they finally gave in to their inner urges and became a couple.
And thus they went on, partners in two different senses and with a foreboding feeling in the back of their minds. Thomas knew that if the relationship ended badly, Peter could expose him quite naked to the city while Peter worried that their closeness could lead to exposure- it might not take much investigation by jealous rivals to discover their secret and blow the deal with his editor.
And thus it went on, The Blur and The Developer happy; but scared of happiness’s end.
To be continued…?
