duke_of_illusionsAl had stayed over last night... and hasn't quite left this morning, either. The day is stretching on, and Barma is still beautifully comfortable, now immersed in a book, as his fingers trail through Al's hair.

He gently touches his cheek with a fingertip, smiling warmly.

"Would you like me to wait outside while you talk to Break? He needn't see me."

"No. With as many negative feelings as you two hold for each other, I know he wouldn't want you to be watching us. And he'd feel betrayed if he found out I knew you'd been there."
He strokes Barma's hair. He'd do the same, the other way around.

Date: 2011-11-05 06:01 pm (UTC)"I'll do that," he promises, with a deep sigh. "But knowing him, he'll still worry about it terribly. He's very sensitive when it comes to pain, especially if he believes he's at fault."
That blind love for him comes through in Al's voice.

no subject
Date: 2011-11-05 06:11 pm (UTC)"If I think of anything, I'll come right to you and ask."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-05 06:12 pm (UTC)Curious.

"I cut Xerxes up one time. I wasn't in my right mind. He enjoyed it, but- I was cruel. The same thing happened with Ryo, but he was able to safeword and bring me out of it."
Al shakes his head.
"It's those times... when I realize I could be dangerous to someone I love. That's when it happens."

Date: 2011-11-05 06:38 pm (UTC)He explains.
"Talk to your partner."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-05 06:41 pm (UTC)He never got a chance, with Break. He'd completely shut out that horror, never really dealt with the guilt.
Finally he nods.
"Do you ever get that?"

Date: 2011-11-05 06:47 pm (UTC)He sighs. "I get numb and I withdraw, and lose track of time. I don't get teary unless I talk to someone."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-05 06:48 pm (UTC)He offers, quietly.
"Tonight, I mean."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-05 06:50 pm (UTC)A little smile.
"I want to be here for you, too."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-05 06:51 pm (UTC)He's going to need to keep close to him for a while, after this.
no subject
Date: 2011-11-05 06:53 pm (UTC)"It's not your fault," he whispers, lips brushing his ear. "And not for a moment do I blame you."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-05 06:55 pm (UTC)He reminds him.
"With Ryo, with Break."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-06 03:31 am (UTC)"I worry for them. All this time..."
no subject
Date: 2011-11-06 07:16 pm (UTC)Curious.
