Yes. [His voice is thick.]

...

And what - dare I ask - sort of games do you and Despair play?

[caststwoshadows.livejournal.com]

We make wagers.

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

And the stakes?

[caststwoshadows.livejournal.com]

It's you.

It's always you.

[Well that sent a chill right down his spine.]

I see.

[A long pause.]

... And who tends to win? [Though he does not want to know the answer.]

[caststwoshadows.livejournal.com]

You know the answer to that. You don't have to ask me.

[sh-consulting.livejournal.com]

No.

No I don't.

[caststwoshadows.livejournal.com]

What a rare moment.

I win.

I always win, when it comes to you.

[His chest contracts and it's suddenly tight and hollow but he ignores it. Or tries to ignore it. He fails.]

[He's not sure what to say to that. He's very certain now that he doesn't want to continue this conversation, but equally certain that he doesn't want it to stop - doesn't want to lose Desire's interest.]

[He shoves his hands into his pockets.]

... You do. Don't you.


Of course I should have guessed.

I won't think less of you.
