@thcbcys : I don't really know where else I'd want to be, except right here. - ( From Pip, To Damien <3 )
meme. || accepting!
“ah,” comes his strangled reply. there’s something like vulnerability burning his throat, dancing behind his teeth with words he can’t quite muster. he kind of wants to groan & roll his eyes & make a big spectacle over pip’s place of choice being with damien of all people — poking him in the ribs & sneering over his poor choice of companionship. but, if damien was being honest, he doesn’t know any other place he’d rather be, either.
hell was not a home, his father was not a parent, & it was evident that many found him easy to discard. disposable. but somehow, inexplicably, not phillip. he listened, he engaged, & he acted like he cared. damien found that he could act like he cared, too, & was terrified upon the realization that on his part, it wasn’t an act.
blaming the flush on anything other than his emotions, he coughs into his fist. “and why is that?” he settles on asking, refusing to meet pip’s eyes. he’s afraid of what he’ll see. the adoration he doesn’t deserve. “what makes whatever this is so special?” damien doesn’t try to specify further. he kind of just wants to know what pip will say. where he’ll take this conversation.
