Armand presses his lips together in a thin line, and Louis watches them for a minute, an hour, a lifetime. Watches them fumble around words.

"I know I'm no longer... pleasing to look at, Louis."

He turns away, hiding the left side of his face from view. He sounds genuine, as if he truly believes his face is ruined, and that Louis is staring out of revulsion or disgust.

He couldn't be more wrong.

  or: Armand thinks his scar is ugly. Louis tries to convince him otherwise.

Armand shifts ever so slightly closer to Louis. He sweeps his hair from his neck, baring it in the cold air of their bedroom.

Louis doesn't glance up from his book. His jaw works, but he says nothing.

Hurt flares inside him, quick and fierce. Louis would give him whatever he wants, Armand knows, if only he would ask.

But Armand wants to be silent. Wants the tilt of his head or the angle of his body to be enough. It once was.

Louis flips to the next page. Armand turns on the sheets, curls inward, and shuts his eyes.
