Re: [Capital University: Misha & Damian]
"Because it is what I desire to watch." And this was true. It was not Damian simply attempting to be inclusive. He felt this reasoning sufficed and he nodded to say as much. "You would be a beautiful damsel. But, I do not know that you need be arrested just to discover this."
Damian considered the question asked of him. "Likely." He did not know if being bored made him more susceptible to temptation, but he could not see why it would not be so. It was easier when distracted. He forgot, occasionally, about his desire for morphine when he was otherwise (and fully) engaged. It never lasted any great length of time, but that it happened at all was like a miracle to Damian, who would have told you a year ago that he could never not think upon it. "I... would only do this if it was not an opioid. I know I must stay away from them and other such substances, regardless of if they are not specifically morphine. The cannabis is very different. Or are you referring now to the cigarettes and drinking? I do not drink to any great excess." He hardly drank at all, if they were not out somewhere. The cigarettes were a different story, but they did not alter his behavior.
And to be fair to Misha and his fears, Damian felt better being closer as well, so it was not all about the boy at all, you see. Damian was listening to Misha and his expression fell exactly when the angel assumed it would. He had not been about to interrupt, but his frown made clear he did not appreciate or agree with this line of thought. He did not appreciate or agree with it as it continued either. Damian tutted. "I do not want to be with someone like me." He did not. Not even slightly. "Why are you suggesting this? I can imagine the uproar you would make if I suggested the same. It is insulting to both of us. It paints me fickle and shallow and uncaring of who you are. The person I love is you, fool or no. This is no answer and I am not pleased you have suggested it." Damian was not upset and his voice did not waver. He said what he did plainly and flatly, and he was entirely honest.
