[ ely has a canon red/blue yaoi ship him being bl is no longer my responsibility. what is callisto's excuse
but yeah, that probably is the dynamic, isn't it… elysium just going along with whatever scenario callisto comes up with because it's amusing until he doesn't, culminating into him just ghosting him out of nowhere one day. fun ]
Someone did come begging and it sure wasn't me. That someone even brought a bribe. What do you really want? You have my attention.
[ he's from a rofan, he can't control the words that come out of his mouth
but ghosting because of bdsm is crazy work, damn. ]
The fact you can call this begging shows that you truly don't know what the word means. I can't help but deny your sincerity in accepting my gift if you are labeling it as a mere bribe.
Oh? And what is it that you think you could possibly offer me? How can I want when there's absolutely nothing there to have?
[ are we actually making the bdsm dungeon canon… damn… ]
It's certainly a form of desperation, isn't it? Changing your approach for someone who kept leaving your messages unread. Considering you didn't seem too bothered by being called 'clingy,' I'm guessing that assessment wasn't too far off the mark?
And there's something, seeing as you're still contacting me! What could the crown prince of S*ms*ng possibly want from a common man? I'm just as curious.
I just think some people shouldn't throw around their affections so easily. Then again, you had always been that way, hadn't you? It is all so simple and easy. It makes one wonder where you get the sheer audacity.
What else could a man want from you? Perhaps, it's about time you use that pretty little head of yours instead of simply saying the first thing that comes to mind.
Was that what you wanted? My affection? What were you going to do with it after? Put a ring on it so we could live happily ever after?
I got the impression that's not quite how things work with you. It's not how it would work for me, either. This pretty little head would say everything worked out according to our best interests.
Have I not said it before? Marriage is but a partnership. If you wanted to be tied down to me for the rest of your life, there really was no reason for you to play coy.
[ he may not have ever been able to articulate his feelings well, but jumping into a vegas marriage would be all too easy had he desired it. ]
You would dare to think you know where my interests lie?
Don't you find it funny, my friend? How well you can get on with someone physically while also being such opposites with them in every other regard? Sorry, sorry. I'm a romantic, you see. Marriage is meant to be a promise to go on one long adventure with someone, not a contract to tie them down.
But that's exactly why I can't get married either! Don't you have a long line of heiresses that would gladly take your hand, anyway? Unless you're telling me your reasoning is as shallow as wanting something you can't have. Then you're more messed up than I thought, man.
A true romantic wouldn't be hinging a relationship on a night of passion, or a simple physical bond. They wouldn't be able to last subsisting on just touches. Or so I could only assume.
Fortunately, I believe neither in romance, nor do I think love is anything but a fleeting surge of emotions. But, I don't think I would have any trouble keeping one single bird in a cage for the rest of its life. Is it not natural to not want to part with things you were once fond of?
[ is that messed up? clipping a bird's wings doesn't mean it dies. ]
Can someone who says they don't believe in romance really speak to what it truly is? Spoken like someone who's never had the chance to experience it. I almost felt bad for your warped perception, you know. But there's only so much you can do for someone who refuses to see another perspective.
Anyway, sure, I wouldn't say it's unnatural to hesitate when it comes to letting go of what you're sentimental about. But now you're just being deliberately obtuse. Tell me this: what's the value in stripping away the very thing that defines a bird as a bird? Would it even be the same bird you grew fond of?
I already know your answer. It isn't. That's just keeping something for the sake of your collection.
What good does seeing another perspective do for me? Has it granted me a single thing outside of a trouble, disappointment, or your loose tongue? [ except, everything he doesn't want to hear probably falls into that category. ]
Is it so horrible a fate to be pampered and live a full life devoted to the one who has all but captured you? Not everyone has the means to purchase such a large cage. Large enough in fact that it could easily encompass one bird's small and limited world. Would it even know the difference then?
It seems birds like to fly away just because they can. Doesn't that sound curiously like spite instead of a sincere desire for freedom?
Yes, just do what conveniences you and allows you carry on with your life. Making tough decisions or sticking it out until the bitter end never suited you to begin with. You act as if I lost my mind, but need I remind you that you've also brought this upon yourself? Don't act innocent now.
What are these tough decisions? If you ask me, the hard part was ending things with you that many months ago. All you had to do was walk away when our circles couldn't be more removed from each other as they are. It's a shame that you didn't like the high note we left things on; much like how I'm a romantic, I'm a sucker for happy endings. But we can be real. That's not always achievable. Sometimes, all you can settle for is something that tilts more sweet on the end of bittersweet.
Tell me more about this fantasy where I come crawling back to you, begging on my knees. Is that what will make you happy?
You say it was hard, but you did it so swiftly, I would have thought you prepared your entire life for that moment. But, it's unfortunate for you that while you may fond of happy endings, I've never been taken with them myself. Or maybe just the word "endings" doesn't sit well with me.
As such, I can't say any result would bring me "happiness." I just liked you enough to believe I would never be bored. That said...
[ he could touch on a number of things here: like how he genuinely hadn't expected to hear from callisto after all this time, or that he'd explicitly used the word like—a word elysium had made a conscious effort to avoid in most, if not all, of his relationships. if what they had could even be called a relationship and not just a game between two polar opposites, this sudden reappearance truly feels entirely out of nowhere. it leaves him feeling off-kilter, unbalanced, and rarely for him—at a loss for words.
he could still touch on a number of those things, though. or even one. but… he doesn't.
instead— ]
Buying out the whole building is what people do on television. Don't be dramatic.
[ when the L word also encompasses like and not love. oddly, only one of those callisto would refute. even at this late stage in the game, he can't bring himself to contemplate on any emotions deeper than it, if just because admitting it felt like it would shatter and trivialize all his other beliefs. still, he doesn't focus in on it for long.
after all, there were some topics that would inevitably touch in places that were still too raw and tender— then, there were topics that just felt natural. like buying out a building. ] Another property or two would hardly make a difference. I am always looking for ways to expand my domain.
Will you chase me to the ends of the earth, then? Because that's what it'll take to catch a bird known for having the longest annual migration of any known animal.
When you make things sound so easy, it almost makes me want to make things harder for you on purpose. Or maybe that's already what I'm doing.
If I'm not mistaken, that sounds as if you're quite looking forward to it. You did strike me as the kind of man who was naturally born to suffer at varying degrees. [ do people give that kind of impression??? or is this just another callisto thing? ]
You seemed fond of it before. There was no reason to change.
If I didn't know any better, I would think you are implying that I am constantly inconveniencing those around you. Well, no matter. Let's say we've come to an agreement.
