[M/M] Frans Dahl and Yashar Alizadeh have been a steady couple for two years, but when your boyfriend is an enigmatic, tight-lipped dancer admired by thousands, doing things by the book isn't always on the cards. Communication is a struggle, made more difficult by the fact that only one of them seems to think they have a serious problem. In a desperate attempt to get his boyfriend to open up, Frans decides to steal Yashar's mother's perfume. Not the smartest move in the history of moves, sure--but will it have the desired effect of getting the tight-lipped dancer to start communicating? . . . . . . Enjoy this sentimental standalone one-shot filled with sounds, scents, and flavours from the Near East. Spun off from a longer work in progress. ***¡LGBTQ+ CONTEMPORARY! *** Vote, comment, put it on your reading list!
