[nishtha]

Very well.

[ 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.

[sensive]

sounds like i came pretty close

[ 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. ]

[nishtha]

Later. After dinner, if you want.

[ When they're in bed together. When he can take Bob into his arms. ]

[sensive]

later

[ 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

[nishtha]

It does.

I'm glad to have found you.

[sensive]

[ there’s the light again, filtering through the curtains. ]

see i like strong
but when you say stuff like that
i get dizzy

[ 🥰 ]

[nishtha]

[ 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.

[sensive]

how am i supposed to go slow with you again

[ 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

[nishtha]

Eager boy. Perhaps I'll use Gift to keep you on the edge of it, leave you trembling and begging for release.

[sensive]

[ whoa. ]

whoa

[ 😳 ]

like the wedding
you’re a little freaky, huh, armand?

[nishtha]

More than a little.

Novelty becomes more valuable when centuries stretch ahead and behind you. It's important to remain interesting.

[sensive]

you’re doing a really good job

[ … ]

but now you being into me makes even less sense

[nishtha]

Because you're not freaky?

[ Bob, honey,, ]

[sensive]

i mean
on many levels
i could be one of the freakiest people here

[ like, top fifteen? top ten? ]

i’m just some guy other than that stuff though

[nishtha]

That has its own appeal. A boyish innocence. A desire to please. You have endless potential.

And, as I believe I've said, you are a very good kisser.

[sensive]

[ endless potential, an assessment in opposition to every other. ]

it might’ve come up

[ what with all the kissing. ]

you’re saying my desire to please is pleasing you

[ ✔️✔️✔️ ]

[nishtha]

Endlessly.

[sensive]

okay
i'll keep it up
