Blue sighs, eye lights gone so he doesn’t have to see, mind blank so he doesn’t have to think. “Mmhm.”

“And you want to stay here, of course. You’ve already said that.”

Slim is in the kitchen, cleaning or cooking or something, enough that when he pauses to listen to the conversation, the lack of commotion is noticeable. The house is silent for a moment. Blue sighs and shifts so his face is pressed against the neck of Black’s spine. “Yeah.”

Black has his arms wrapped comfortingly around Blue’s body and he gives a slight squeeze as he considers his next words carefully. “I know… I..” He takes a moment to rethink and begins again. “You’re going to be hurt either way, but if you would just let go, we could have a bright future Blue. The three of us.”

The tension in Blue’s body seems to let go all at once and he feels that he must be quite heavy in Black’s arms, but he is held tight regardless. “I’m not strong enough.”

I love you, but I love him and I want him to love me too, but he’s…. he’s over it. The only time I feel love coming from him is when he’s… When I’m not in the same universe as him. And god it just… hurts so much.”
