Status: Complete!

The ball had been better than Schuldig had expected. The dancing had been surprisingly fun, the panic from the huge monster had been entertaining, and he'd gotten laid, which was always a plus. He'd gotten out from the bathroom and Faith almost immediately went over to the crying kid, so, searching mentally for Armand, he decided it was time to head home. The walk over the huge courtyard where the Labyrinth used to be had been long, but the telepath had hardly noticed, too wrapped up in his own thoughts and the thoughts of others.

When he finally got back to the room, he was still thinking about Faith. She was such a complicated girl, intriguing. How she could go from fucking someone in a bathroom to comforting a small girl almost reminded him of himself. "Hey babe." He grinned at Armand, leaning over to kiss him softly (and probably still tasting and smelling of Faith, to his vampire senses) before taking the jacket he had worn to the ball off, looking somehow completely right and at home in the poet's shirt and vest.

"Have fun?" Schuldig sat on their bed and then turned onto his side to look at Armand, his hands running through his long hair almost unconsciously. He was still so wrapped up in himself, Faith, and now Armand, that he didn't even realize what Armand had done once they had separated, simply that he had left when the monster came. And, in all honesty, he didn't think it was his business to care.

Remorse filled him instantly as he felt the tension in the telepath's mind. Had he ever shown a mortal any of the things he'd shown Schu? Yes, he'd opened himself mentally to other vampires, on occasion, but only to them. But, then, most mortals didn't have the ability to handle it, even as well as Schu had. But Armand, though he was a vampire, did feel guilt.

Part of him would never get past his unbringing, which had been deeply religious. And guilt had been a big part of it. So, perhaps more than most vampires, he felt it strongly. And he had hurt this man, which horrified him. He rose to his feet, walked over to his lover, and then knelt down beside him. Very, very gently, he wrapped his arms around him and picked him up, needing hardly any strength to do it, though Schuldig was taller than him.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think..." Which was his major flaw, most of the time, it seemed. Along with his dependence on others that was never shared. He deliberately spoke out loud, kept his thoughts shielded, to keep from hurting the telepath any more than he already had.

Effortlessly, he deposited the human on his bed, and then climbed in with him. It was hours yet until sunrise. He didn't have to go to his coffin, not yet. Gently, his fingers roamed over Schu's face, trying to ease the pain, cuddled up close to him, whispering softly again. "I'm sorry..."
