Pretty Boy Dthrip 🚀 💫

The townsfolk never quite trusted Pretty Boy. But they stopped crossing the street. They’d nod, tip their caps, and say, “Evening, Dorian.” And the tree in the graveyard kept growing, its mirrors turning every tear—every single one—into something that was not a curse, but a quiet, listening place.

The other boys hated him for it. They had knuckles like scabs and boots held together with wire, and here was this creature who looked like he’d been polished by moonlight. They’d corner him behind the slag heaps and hiss, “Pretty Boy. Go on, cry pretty tears, Pretty Boy.” And he would. Not because he was weak, but because his tear ducts were, annoyingly, just as photogenic as the rest of him. Each teardrop rolled down his cheek like a tiny diamond.
