You're adorable.

It always makes him so happy when Maitimo says that.

Love you forever.

Permalink

Be mine forever.

Spending eternity with Maitimo this way sounds absolutely perfect. And he made a promise and everything. The immortality power that rests on his commitment to always come back to Maitimo is right there in his soul.

I will, he says contentedly.

And the next day he goes to find Findekáno. Findekáno's face goes rather blank when he enters the room. "I would like," the King says, "you to stop whatever you think you're doing."

Permalink

"What, trying to raise his standards a little in the expectation you'll clean up your act enough to reassure him?"

Permalink

"Yes, that."

Permalink

"I'm still bound to obey you, you can send me away."

Permalink

"I could tell you to go charge Angband."

Permalink

"...send me alone, please, if you want to do that."

Permalink

"I told you what I wanted to do; I wanted you to stop -"

Permalink

"Telling Taliar that he doesn't have a magical love story, he has a sociopath - did you wish yourself in love with him temporarily so his lie detection power wouldn't ping every time you express affection -"

Permalink

"No. I like him, he's adorable. He's mine and he wants to be -"

Permalink

"You don't know that. How can you know that, when he doesn't have a choice? You don't care about it, much, either, or you'd give him one -"

Permalink

"Come here."

Permalink

The oath starts gnawing, but it's worth it for the opportunity to sit there and raise an eyebrow at him.

Permalink

Maitimo waits him out.

Permalink

And he stands up and walks over to him. 

Permalink

"Let me have this."

Permalink

"I can't stop you."

Permalink

"I'm not lying to him and I didn't lie to you. I like hurting people who love me."

Permalink

"That's pathetic."

Permalink

"Don't test me here, will get you killed -"

Permalink

"And shake the delusions out of Taliar's eyes? Good -"

Permalink

"You don't mean that."
