The hardest part was keeping the lies straight.
"I thought you were only having one of your eyes done?"
"I did, the other I had done abroad- It was a spur of the moment choice..."
"Your so pale now..."
"The medication, it doesn't sit well with me."
"You're so thin!"
"No appetite. It'll get better though, I'm sure."
He'd anticipated that though. He'd known he'd need to lie and fib left and right, until people just accepted he could see again- And that perhaps he was still a touch unwell. What he hadn't anticipated, however, was the resentment that many of his old friends seemed to suddenly feel towards him. It was one thing when Fin was a rising star- But pitiable because of his disability. Now, however... Now he was already receiving television and film offers left and right, and that... That apparently upset a few people.
He'd been leaving one of his favourite coffee shops when he nearly walked right into Phil. A man he'd worked with many times in small productions. A good actor, but older- Perhaps past his prime in the eyes of many.
"Oh! Phil, how brilliant to see you," Fin had smiled, offering his hand, and looking puzzled when it wasn't taken.
"Brilliant is it?" Phil replied, raising a brow and ignoring the offered hand. "So posh sounding these days, Fin. I don't remember you being posh- Not when you were sleeping on the streets, begging for parts. ...Wouldn't know you were dragged up in Manchester with that posh voice you put on."
Fin's smile faded slightly, and he forced an uncomfortable laugh. "Bad habit, I suppose," he said awkwardly.
"Not a habit," Phil assured him. "Just as fake as the rest of you, that's all."
Fin's smile faded completely then, aware that people were staring now. "Right," he said awkwardly. "Well, I should... I should be off."
Phil smiled then, a vicious smile. "I suppose so. That casting couch wont get warmed without you. ...Catch something, have you?" he added, looking Fin over with a sneer. "Should be a bit more cautious, Fin. ...Or is it Finlay now?"
Fin didn't answer that, he simply turned away trying to hide the embarrassment he felt as he started walking and brushed off a young woman who tried to stop him for a selfie.

Hex pushed back, a little harder. Just to be a shit.
"You could ring me, too, twat," he laughed.

He laughed nervously, a touch breathless, rolling his shoulder and squirming as whatever had been damaged healed itself. It wasn't painful, not really, but it was still an odd feeling.
"It's alright," he said. "Fragile, yeah, but- It heals really fast. Broke my arm the other day walking into the door frame- It was healed in half an hour."

Then he moved in and in contrast to his horseplay he wrapped his arms around Fin and hugged him, holding him close and even then marveling at the chill and lack of pulse.

He did lean back just enough to see him.
"You're really alright?" he asked, his arms thick and strong as he held the smaller man.

Looking bashful, he pulled away, shivering again.
"Don't suppose you've got a space heater around here?" he asked. "Sorry, I just- Like I said, I get cold."

"Maybe we could put it in yours," he suggested. "You can show me your newest videos."

A moment's hesitation and then he went off to peek around in Spencer's vast room of a closet. He found a small ceramic heater on the shelf, still in its box.
"Found one," he called as he came to his room.

"Which should we watch?" he asked. "Oh! I know!"
He clicked on the first one, one he knew they'd done together, and though it was hard to see himself blind and scarred, he smiled at the sight of them together.
"Ha, look at that. Weird seeing you in my room," he laughed.

He wriggled closer to the heater, then watched as Hex used a bit gag on him, and talked about safe words, the pair of them giggling like little boys on screen. ...Hex was good though, he was charismatic and fun. It was no surprise that the internet was smitten with him.
"Let's watch another. You pick this time," he smiled, settling in closer to Hex.

Hex couldn't help but laugh.

"Do you really like that?" he asked as the video ended. "Do you really find it arousing?"

"But you're riveting. I know for blokes like me it's all about the size of the cock and the shape of the arse. The guys I meet in clubs it's meant to be anonymous. But you don't do that. And even if I met you in a club I'd want to stay. I wouldn't shag you and go. I couldn't," he said, showing the terribly romantic streak he had in him for someone who was a relative player.
