le chasseur

He stills. Breathes out, hiding a wince when Joe clutches at him. William shifts his own hands up Joe’s back, holding him closer. He closes his eyes. It shouldn’t be like this. He should find some measure of joy in those words. But so should Joe. It shouldn’t be such a tattered thing dragged out, weighed down by anguish. 

I—

Alors te voilà. Still hiding, hm?

It does bother me. If I pretended otherwise, I would be doing both of us a disservice. But I trust him when he says it is a compulsion that he cannot control, and I trust him when he says he will not turn on me. That is what stops him.
