Oh.

Oh, that's....

Oh.

That... That makes sense.

It doesn't... excuse it, but. I did the same thing with John. I got... scared he was going to not have a... a place in his life for me any more, and angry was safer than scared.

It was over, uh. A friend of his that doesn't like me.

Malcolm is getting the most wide-eyed stare.

Did you guess all of that?

[personal profile] howtheyshine 2024-07-19 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Y... Yes.

Oh, and it hurts again, too, even with everything John told him that he's trying so hard to believe.

Okay, at a certain point even Edwin can recognize a thing is no longer hypothetical. Well. The face tearing is, but that's not the important part.

Did that happen to you? Where you felt that?

Do u wanna talk about it???

He hunches guiltily.

I tried to make John choose. He said no one could make him.

There's a pause, not quite long enough for Malcolm to speak.

And we talked and I understand now what he means, that choosing to love someone doesn't mean you love them more or less than anyone else, it just means you love them for them, but-- but I don't believe it when he's not there saying it to me. And then I think a-about how maybe he would have to choose, some day, maybe there'd be a reason he has to, and if he has to but he won't isn't that the same as not choosing me to begin with?

Well-- no, but.

How does no one!!! Other than Jedao!!! Understand this!!!

The universe, the universes, they don't care. They don't care how much you want to have two people. Sometimes you just... can't. Can't have both.

The little fox ears flick backward, a soft whine squeaking out.

Then how do I stop thinking about it all the time?

He hunkers down a little more, knowing this would probably make who it is obvious to anyone who's met Charlie.

He hates me, because he thinks I'm the King in Yellow pretending to be someone else.
howtheyshine: (smol: sulk)

[personal profile] howtheyshine 2024-07-21 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It's... complicated, kind of.

I... was the King for longer. I was the King that came after John and tried to get him back.
howtheyshine: (smol: sulk)

[personal profile] howtheyshine 2024-07-21 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
He looks down.

Except John wasn't a part of the King when the King... did some terrible things.

He gives a very fox-like little growl, resentment creeping in again.

They don't want to.
