i'm not sure it would matter.

[if lennon told him that he didn't want him there. because daeshim also is what he is. boundaries don't always mean a lot.]

so i must wait until i'm invited.

[privatechat]

What do you mean?

[faeshim]

you're mine. that's what i mean.

but i want you to be happy. i want you to like me. i do. so it's difficult sometimes.

[privatechat]

[ Lennon's quiet for a while, not answering the messages right away. He keeps starting to and then setting the phone aside not even sure what to say. ]

You're... so annoying sometimes.

[ But... he's Daeshim's and Daeshim's is his... sort of... ]

What if sometimes I want you to join me without my asking and sometimes I don't?

[faeshim]

[it's a good question, and the fae hums as he reads the words.]

a signal.

we need a signal. so that i'll know the difference.

[privatechat]

What kind of signal would work for you?

[faeshim]

[another difficult question. what would be enough for daeshim to not just...ignore.

the answer seems obvious, but it's not. not for a fae, anyway.]

if you want me to join you, you leave the door open.

if not, close it.

[privatechat]

I like that. Okay.

[faeshim]

ok.

whose turn is it?

[privatechat]

[ He has no idea. ]

Yours.

[faeshim]

ok

[because he really does have a question.]

why did you let bae drink from you?

[privatechat]

[ Oh.

Have a long wait again. ]

Because... you care about Baein.

[faeshim]

[he can be patient when he wants to be. like now. and while the answer doesn't surprise him, it still confuses him.]

you were afraid. i felt it.

and i know it hurts.

but you did it anyway, because i care about bae?

[privatechat]

If he was hungry or he couldn't control himself because he wouldn't eat then he would be upset... you would also worry and I didn't want you to worry or be sad.

I was scared and it did hurt but you were there and I trusted you.

[faeshim]

i care about you too

i worry about you too

you don't have to sacrifice yourself for him or for me. i will find a way to take care of you all.

[privatechat]

I'm not as scared now, Daeshim. I can do this anytime he needs. I... didn't know how it was going to happen and... that's what scared me more than anything. I felt like I didn't have any control because I didn't know... But I know now how it feels and works.

You don't have to take care of everything or me. I've always taken care of myself. It's okay.

[faeshim]

knowing doesn't stop you from bleeding.

that was before. you're mine now.

[privatechat]

I don't even have a mark, Daeshim.

[faeshim]

only because bae is very gentle. any other vampire and who knows.

[privatechat]

Well, I'm feeding him not any other vampire. Don't try to control me, Daeshim.

[faeshim]

[lennon misunderstands him. the fae was just worried, trying to say that he cares about him-

it can't be helped.]

[privatechat]

[ At first, Lennon doesn't think too much about the silence... but then it goes on a little too long. ]

Daeshim... don't stop talking to me. You didn't even say the game was over.

[faeshim]

[it goes on for longer. daeshim doesn't like conflict. sometimes, this is how he deals with it. he runs away, and this time leaves his device behind.

but eventually:]

it's your turn.

[privatechat]

What did I do wrong to upset you?

[faeshim]

[he's not sure he wants to answer that. but rules are rules, and while he probably could find a loophole in them, maybe it wouldn't be a good idea.]

my intentions were not what you think. you assumed the worst.
