“I am not dead. I am also not alive.” This seemed to disturb Calvin, who frowned. “How would you like me to position myself?”
“I don’t know. Like a person.”
Calvin rolled over onto his side, facing Winston. “Is this better?”
“Maybe face the other way.” Winston winced at his suggestion as if he could hurt Calvin’s feelings. Calvin didn’t have feelings. He was fancy, for sure, but intelligence didn’t equal emotions and Winston needed to remember that.
Calvin rolled over and repeated his question. “Is this better?”
Winston stared at the back of Calvin’s head. The broadness of his shoulders and the taper of his waist. It was better and so, so much worse. Calvin was hot. Exactly Winston’s type, in fact. Lean and trim with that boy-next-door look. Only he wasn’t real. He was a glorified puppet.
“Yeah,” Winston said eventually. “Thanks.” He rolled over, facing away from Calvin and, surprisingly, sleep overtook him almost instantly.
