Re: [In person: Damian & Misha]
[Unaware of his misspeaking, Damian simply continued, unabashed.] To the lot? Yes. Okay. [He was no longer freezing. Again, his skin was warming due to the combination of being indoors, the space heaters, the bed, the pajamas, and Misha's nearness. He did not resist the temperature check and instead looked unblinkingly at his boyfriend as the offer was made.] If you wish to. But do not take it upon yourself as you feel you ought. [Again, his sights turned back to the room, even as his fingers took to Misha's.] It is a generous offer. [The man stared at the wall opposite, near the door.] No. Then they know my weaknesses. They think they know me. This is dangerous. And then, they will leave once more and over the cycle begins. [Could something begin over? Probably.—Incongruously, he smiled, before he frowned, looking back to Misha as the angel sighed.] 'Toughen up'? Ah. Yes. As I ought. Surely I am too touchy. [He said this knowing Misha would see the hypocrisy in his own words.] Fine, if you are uncomfortable speaking upon it, then that is what it is. 'So it goes.' Subsume who you are and what you feel to what I feel and surely it will all be fine.
