*his eyes filling with pain as understanding settles in* Glorfindel...Eru, I'm not...I'm not testing you. Do you really think I'd...? *his voice cracking slightly* Sure you would. After the way I. *sighs sadly, his lips pressed tightly together*
*reaches up to run his fingers through your hair, ever so delicately but with no less yearning* The thing is... The thing is. I thought I could go back to the way I was. I thought I'd stop loving you as easily as I started. But when I held you last night... *waits for you to open your eyes again, so that he can look into that clear, perfect blue* Do you remember what I said to you, that one time? How I wouldn't trade us for all the calm in the world? Well, maybe just-me won't ever be enough. Maybe you'll make crazy demands and maybe I'll clam up and not tell you how I'm feeling. And maybe we're bad for each other. But I don't care, Glorfindel. I love you and we are a family and I want to be just-us because my world is broken without you in it.
