Belated well wishes to everyone for the various everythings-

Now that we're post explosions, shall we touch base with one another? I feel utterly out of touch. Like this year has started out of the gate like a horse with its tail on fire.

Perhaps it's all the new arrivals. Hello, little things! I hope all your questions have been answered. If they haven't perhaps I could give it a go, hm?

No. I hurt myself, reaching for something I had no right to.

It still wasn't right.

I'm not like that. But somewhere deep down, I guess I'm capable of it.

From: [personal profile] al_truism
That... and coming as close as I did to-

[Bending him over that bed.]

I liked hurting you.

Al, we've been over this part.

[He liked being hurt.]

From: [personal profile] al_truism
I know. But even if you hadn't... I might not have stopped myself.

[He pauses, here.]

... what stopped me with you was what didn't stop me with Yuca.

You would have let it happen. And then you would have blamed yourself for it. I would have turned you inside out and broken your heart.

Yuca wouldn't have felt a thing I did. He wouldn't have cared... it never mattered.

I care about you too much to hurt you. I cared about him too much not to.

Well, you have a high opinion of yourself.

[Voice suddenly poisonous.]

[Al fall silently, flushing.]

... forget it, then.

No, no, tell me more about how you broke my heart.

al_truism: ('Cause I'm yours)
From: [personal profile] al_truism
I'm sorry.

[Quietly. Though whether it's over said heartbreak, or for assuming -- that's up to Break.]

I feel I should probably know about this, since I'm apparently a party to it.

From: [personal profile] al_truism
You're not the only one it's hurting-

[It comes out in a burst, and then he falls silent, gritting his teeth. Anger or frustration is very rare. He's usually more likely to run from the issue.]

Oh, well, let me be the first to apologize for your slapping me.

[A soft breath, pain. Damn it.]

...

That wasn't your fault.

[He feels the need to repeat it.]

al_truism: (Reaching out for you)
From: [personal profile] al_truism
[Silence. He can't remember the last time he wanted to run from something this badly.]

... what do you want me to say?

al_truism: (I'm about to scream)
From: [personal profile] al_truism
...

I told you I could be cruel to you. What I meant was... emotionally.

That's why I stopped. Not because I didn't want to hurt you -- I could have done what you asked-

But I- care about you. And I knew that if I did that, it might make you hate me. No matter if you said you wouldn't.

[He half-laughs, humorlessly. Seems someone's not as innocent or naive as he seems.]

I'm sorry.

We'll talk again later?

[Now who's escaping?]

Break.

Don't-

[If they don't talk about this, they never will.]

Shall we talk about it over tea?

[Facetious.]

al_truism: (Weeeelp.)
From: [personal profile] al_truism
... no.

But it's either this, or every time we talk will have this hanging over us until one of us does something stupid.
