No, no. I'm fifty years old. I don't have the energy to meet your 21st century queer boy standards.
But I'm happy for you. Take some pictures. You'll want a way to remember it, even if your mind is a steel trap. Trust me. Wouldn't lead you wrong on that one.
Just tell him ... memory is a monster. Doesn't mean to be. But the details go before you even notice, and then the broader strokes, and then...
Okay, never mind. Too dark. But being happy is rare, you know? Little tokens bring it back. Picture's another token. It'll be nice to look at. If he didn't like beautiful things, he wouldn't be talking to you.
[ for a moment there's a 'billy is typing' thing before he registers that last line and turns a deep red and..... it stops, if only because he's not sure that's right. ]
i didn't know you saw me that way
[ light-hearted teasing: ]
no i don't think it's too dark. but i'm an amnesiac. the token thing might work image is just pretty important too, y'know? he might not accept anything but the perfect one
I like the infallible version of me that exists only for you. She's neat. Like to keep her around. You'd better be careful in this fucked up Faerie world.
He talks about himself all right. Got one of those funny heartbeats, though. Can't tell if he's lying quite as easy with other humans. Ain't my business. Just observing.
Don't suppose you're content to just use him for holidays and sex.
so would i since she's you. i'm not saying anything i don't believe is true.
i'm not worried about that. he doesn't lie to me and if he wants to tell me something he'll do it when he's ready
[ nevermind that he can't lie to him. if he wanted to, though, he wouldn't have stayed. he's chosen billy and that means something - nearly just the same. ]
I know you're not worried. It's very cute. Guess I'm not really worried, either. Just thinking about it, some.
[at this point, she can't deny that not all the golden boys and their cut glass cheekbones and sneery tilde lips are lestats. but of all of them, coryo feels the closest. only, only that he's so young.
she's a sucker. or a little bit of a narcissist. tends to have hope for young monsters. one guess as to why.]
Maybe we can do a friends version of Valentine's next Saturday.
