Re: Patrick/Jacob
Jacob snorted at Patrick's nickname for the Dark Lord. "It's always been something I've used to get the things I want, even before all of this." He shrugged. "I wasn't a stupid kid, I realized that people wanted me because of my looks - and it wasn't too difficult from there to realize I could get the things I wanted by giving them a taste of what they wanted. I only improved my skills as I grew older."
The way Patrick touched him, despite their conversation - Jacob didn't know what to make of it. It was like he really didn't care about what he'd done, like it didn't even matter, that he was here now so it erased everything else he'd done in his past. "I have, you don't become a Death Eater without participating in torture and murder." And Jacob wondered when exactly he'd find the point where Patrick couldn't pretend anymore, when the truth really would be too much.
