Cyrano and Christian + physical touch
"Is there a version of life where two men can live as one person?"
National Theatre Live: Cyrano de Bergerac (2020)
hello hello :) thank you for the tags @kiwiana-writes and @orchidscript <3 ate your snippets UP!
here's a wee bit of something new i am affectionately calling "queerano de bergerac" aka a Cyrano AU aka henry is paid to write love letters to alex on behalf of a girl and you can only guess what happens next <3 this is so silly and i kind of adore it. I shared the snippet that comes right before this linked here.
“But somehow you know you are in love with him? I’m not judging you,” He absolutely is. “I’m just trying to understand.”
“I guess…I can’t stop looking at his curls in class. They’re so glossy and bouncy. He keeps gatekeeping his curly hair routine and I’m so mad at him for it! And I love to hear what he has to say whenever he raises his hand. He always has great things to add. I think of him when I wake up and when I go to bed and—”
“I’m not sure if all of this constitutes being in love, though.” Henry rubs harder at his temple. The headache is slowly but surely making its way to his left side, and he’s getting irritated.
“No, it’s definitely love. I think about him all the time! It’s definitely more than a crush. I’ve had crushes before and they’ve all stopped because the guys are so dumb. But Alex…Alex is so different.” Amber has a dreamy expression on her face. Henry doesn’t want to discourage her, not when she’s willing to pay him for something he could do in his sleep. So, he continues.
Henry grabs a pen from his backpack, uncapping the lid with his teeth. “Okay. Okay. There’s some stuff we can work with here…how you want to see only him, how you think he’s interesting and popular…that you think he’s smart and cool…we’ll just have to tweak it a little.” He’s crossing out parts of the letter in red and adding in a few words here and there. He can salvage this.
Amber is quiet, which Henry knows is deeply concerning. “Have you ever been in love, Henry?”
