Stevie is a friend of Rent Boy’s who doesn’t use heroin. After confessing his feelings to a woman named Stella, he waits nervously for her to get back to him with an answer on New Year’s Eve. When she calls to say she loves him, he goes to meet her at the train station. Stevie lives in London, and the mostly happy ending of his story suggests that perhaps his move away from Leith helped him escape the fate of the other characters.

Kicking
Quotes
The train was nearly twenty minutes late, an excellent performance by British Rail standards. Stevie wondered whether she’d be on it. Paranoia hit him. Waves of fear shuddered through his body. The stakes were high, the highest ever. He couldn’t see her, couldn’t even picture her in his mind’s eye. Then she was almost upon him, different to how he thought of her, more real, even more beautiful. It was the smile, the look of emotion reciprocated. He ran the short distance to her and held her in his arms. They kissed for a long time. When they stopped, the platform was deserted and the train was well on its way to Dundee.
