Be more original!

[leonheartedly]

I'll have to give it some thought, then. I still want to seduce you into my bed.

[afineknight]

I believe in you.

[leonheartedly]

[a snort]

I appreciate the faith.

[afineknight]

I am a very supportive partner.

[leonheartedly]

. . . heh, you are.

[. . .]

It's nice hearing that. [straight-face] Little less vague now that we figured it out.

[afineknight]

Ha. It feels good saying it, too.

[leonheartedly]

[oh. He smiles a little brighter.

. . . but he has to give him shit, it's his duty]

Is it more obvious than "my person", you think?

[afineknight]

[ oh.

you little shit. ]

I thought it would be obvious, but I sorely underestimated where my self worth would potentially be at.

[leonheartedly]

Maybe a little bit.

And here I was worried that I was being too obvious.

[afineknight]

It didn't even cross my mind then as a possibility.

[leonheartedly]

But sleeping together did?

[afineknight]

Nothing wrong with hate sex or even mildly indifferent sex.

[leonheartedly]

. . . did you think I hated you?

[afineknight]

After the carts, I thought we were maybe moving towards something more neutral. But it was only in the elevator that I felt more solid in that, like we could at least be friends one day.

So obviously, I didn't have that piece of information.

[leonheartedly]

[he can't help making a face]

That elevator ride really made a hell of a difference.

[afineknight]

I told you the truth and you didn't hate me for it.

[leonheartedly]

[he huffs softly]

I didn't hate you before that, either. But you know that.

[afineknight]

I know that now. It was a little uncertain before.

I clearly underestimated how uncertain.

[leonheartedly]

Hah, clearly.

[he reaches over to snag his sleeve to tug him closer]

I don't know what got me more: you saying it was vague or the words themselves.

[afineknight]

[ He lets himself be tugged over. ]

. . . That was a hard letter to write.

[leonheartedly]

Knowing you and hearing some of what you wrote . . . I'm not surprised.

[afineknight]

The thought of potentially forgetting everyone and everything that happened here — and permanently, for that matter — was not a good one.

[leonheartedly]

. . . no one would have let you forget for long.

[afineknight]

One can hope.
