Don't be fooled, he always knows exactly what he's doing. He finds joy in chaos and destruction, much like his namesake. And likewise, particularly enjoys tormenting me. This morning he possessed one of Babou's toys and floated it up to the ceiling above the curtains, so Babou decided to climb them and chase it. The maids were very upset at the state of the fabric afterwards.
I chose the charm for the resemblance. And the blue reminds me of your eyes.
[ having given up on securing his charm (content that armand will enjoy tying it for him, anyway), he only considers armand’s message for a short moment. ]
i like strong and i like you
you don’t make me wonder what you’re thinking which is pretty generous of you cause you know everything i’m thinking and i think a lot of embarrassing stuff
Your mind protects itself. The shadowed parts, scar tissue to close the wound. It would hurt, to open them again. But now I know what to look for, I can sense the edges, where the tears are likely to be. Perhaps see it coming.
If it happens again, what would you want me to do?
[ the most important thing, when he can imagine the shadow of himself over armand that night. ]
tell bucky, yelena, and wanda i don’t want to hurt you
i want to get ahead of it because i don’t understand why it happens i thought it was just the power but it hasn’t been consistent like that
[ it didn’t happen after his strength came out with wanda, or when he joined jess in the ring. it only chased his encounter with embry (the one that went so poorly he wanted the ground to swallow him whole). ]
When you came to me that night, I sensed within you an infinite sorrow. And hunger. A black hole torn in the fabric of the world, shaped like you, drawing everything in. You could have killed me. You didn't.
[ He remembers it, the voice. The throb of the shadows. You're so alone. He was, then. But now -- ]
[ cold radiates outward from his pelvis, at the mere thought of it. like he’s touching the void by talking about it, thinking about it, inviting it inside. ]
[ Their connection is a path, a passage through the rooms between them, growing clearer with every visit. Now, it warms, glows. Affection, amusement. Deep fondness for the boy who hasn't been given enough, who deserves more. ]
I could say more. Whispered in your ear while you move inside me. Achingly slow. Drawing out our pleasure until you can't stand it any more.

But for the most part I hoped it might make you laugh.
I have this one.
[ Attached: a photo of a Cinnamoroll phone charm draped across Armand's palm. ]
no subject
[ hold for tender feeling. ]
whoa hey
that one looks like santiago!
i mean maybe a little happier
he has a kind of smug look sometimes
like he knows exactly what he’s doing

no subject
oh shit
maybe he’s extra jealous of the new kid on the block
[ babou… possibly also bob… ]
my eyes huh
sometimes people think they’re brown
[ because of how dark they are. he likes that the lighter, brighter hue, like the sea of the sky, still made armand think of him. ]
no subject
As for your eyes, clearly these others need to pay closer attention.
[ Or spend as much time gazing into them as Armand does. 😌 ]
no subject
[ you’re enamoured with a guyfailure, armand. ]
maybe
don’t think i have time for them though
you know i’ve got dinner plans?
no subject
[ A brief pause while he contemplates an additional message, turning the beads of the phone charm through his fingers like a rosary. ]
I hope that I'm not coming on too strong. A tendency to strong emotion is an unfortunate side effect of vampiric nature.
no subject
i like strong
and i like you
you don’t make me wonder what you’re thinking
which is pretty generous of you
cause you know everything i’m thinking
and i think a lot of embarrassing stuff
[ in general and about armand, specifically. ]
no subject
[ He knows what it's like to be used. To be enslaved. He would happily destroy them all on Bob's behalf. ]
no subject
i mean yeah
thanks
[ deserve is a difficult word, isn’t it. ]
would you be able to
could you help
with the gaps
[ in his memory. back then. here. ]
or maybe that’s a bad idea
but would you tell me if i go a little
just if you notice anything
[ help ]
no subject
[ Without hesitation. ]

[ But. ]
I don't think you can hurt me.
When you came to me that night, I sensed within you an infinite sorrow. And hunger. A black hole torn in the fabric of the world, shaped like you, drawing everything in. You could have killed me. You didn't.
[ He remembers it, the voice. The throb of the shadows. You're so alone. He was, then. But now -- ]
I could show you the memory of it.
no subject
[ cold radiates outward from his pelvis, at the mere thought of it. like he’s touching the void by talking about it, thinking about it, inviting it inside. ]
but okay
okay yeah
show me when i’m with you
[ not while they’re apart. ]
no subject
[ When they're in bed together. When he can take Bob into his arms. ]
no subject
[ if he wants. if he still feels brave after the hours between now and then unspool. ]
i’m sorry, by the way
for finding you like that
even though i’m glad it was you too
if that makes sense
no subject
I'm glad to have found you.
no subject
see i like strong
but when you say stuff like that
i get dizzy
[ 🥰 ]
no subject
I could say more. Whispered in your ear while you move inside me. Achingly slow. Drawing out our pleasure until you can't stand it any more.
no subject
[ even though he has and will. at this point, bob thinks he’d do whatever armand asked of him. ]
i can barely stand it as is
no subject
no subject
whoa
[ 😳 ]
like the wedding
you’re a little freaky, huh, armand?
no subject
Novelty becomes more valuable when centuries stretch ahead and behind you. It's important to remain interesting.
no subject
[ … ]
but now you being into me makes even less sense
