it sours my mood to have a deal broken with nothing to show for it.

[human bloodlines have been cursed for generations for doing that. daeshim would never go that far, but it is a fae thing.]

[privatechat]

[ Lennon is quiet for a while, staring at the message and he knows he deserves it but it still hurts a little. But he can't feel sorry for himself he just has to fix it. ]

I don't know what to offer that I haven't already given you. I'd say I would offer anything you wish but you'll just scold me for that.

[faeshim]

you have escaped a greedy creature unscathed. it will make a good fairy tale.

[privatechat]

Dae. I want to offer you something.

[faeshim]

but you do not know what.

[privatechat]

Right. It's really hard not to just say you can have anything.

[faeshim]

you cannot. it would be foolish on your part. i could bind you even more if i wished.

[privatechat]

Mm... what about... if I can find a way to carry children myself I will give you nine.

[ Thus far he's been edgy about even three! ]

[faeshim]

[he's tempted, even if it is an uncertain deal. but something kicks in before daeshim actually agrees to it.]

you do no want our children born from a bargain. three or five or nine, they should come from love.

[privatechat]

[ Lennon exhales softly and he does figure the other is right. He sighs and stares at his phone, feeling frustrated and lost and wishing he'd never brought it up at all. ]

What do you want then? What can I give you?

[faeshim]

[daeshim doesn't know what to tell him. it was lennon who made the deal in the first place. now, the fae would be lying if he said that it hadn't made him happy, but fortunately, no one's asking him that. what he wants is at odds with what's being asked of him, and lennon can't think of anything to offer either.

but he clearly wants out of the deal, and daeshim has to make that happen no matter what. he doesn't want any of them to be unhappy, not lennon or hunter or bae. so if someone must be, it must be him.]

it must be something of equal value.

an amendment to another of our bargains.

[privatechat]

[ Lennon swallows heavily and he quickly goes through all the bargains he can think of. ]

I just... I only asked you because I'm trying to make everyone happy and now I'm making you unhappy.

[ Lennon chews on his bottom lip a bit too roughly with his fangs but he doesn't care and it's helping keep his mind clear enough to make a decision. There's a lot of their bargains that are far too important to him to adjust in any way. ]

The one where I spend Fridays with you... What if Saturdays are also yours?

[ It's not just another day but it's his most lucrative day at work that he's offering. ]

[faeshim]

if you keep it up, i will have you every day of the week. [and then what good will any of this do?] besides, you make your most money on that day. you cannot.

what if you could never top me again?

[privatechat]

[ Lennon deflates and the question he just stares at. There's no one he's ever topped that had felt so good as topping Daeshim. ]

Wouldn't you be disappointed with that? And... if I can't fuck you then how can we have our baby?

[ Because it still counts with a girl's body to him. ]

[faeshim]

mm.

[he could change it to 'only in this body', but he's not sure that would make it any more agreeable. he sighs.]

just let me lose. it is the best way.

[privatechat]

[ Lennon's too stubborn. He glares at the phone a bit angry with himself for getting them into this situation. He starts to offer his art room but he stops, knowing that wouldn't go over well most likely. ]

There has to be something.

[ he chews on his bottom lip all the more. ]

What if when I'm topping, I can only come inside of you but not inside anyone else?

[faeshim]

ok

we have a deal, you and i.

[and an end to it.]

[privatechat]

[ Lennon heaves a sigh. ]

Can you come to bed?

[faeshim]

mm. i will be there soon.

[privatechat]

You can bring some bread.

[faeshim]

will you eat some too?

[privatechat]

If you bring some fruit, I'll eat some fruit.

[faeshim]

[hmm. well he does enjoy the pine apple too. so he goes for bread, adding a thin layer of butter, some fruit, and even some hot chocolate, all placed on a tray. lennon didn't ask for it, it's just automatic at this point.]

[privatechat]

[ Lennon is curled up under the blanket with the device in hand when Daeshim comes in but he tosses it aside the moment he sees him. He knows his lip probably looks a bit awful but he'd checked it to make sure it wasn't bleeding before asking Daeshim to come to bed. He smells the hot chocolate before he sees it and sits up slowly, his tail flicking when it gets free from the covers. ]

How did you know I wanted hot chocolate too?

[faeshim]

You love hot chocolate. I would worry if you turned it down.

[he places the tray on the bed, carefully handing lennon the cup first before he crawls in on his side.]

I used the last of the mint. I will grow and harvest more tomorrow.
