[ is sitting up already with his head between his knees while continuing his sobbing. jumps when simon chucks the pillows across the room, letting out a small sound of surprise at the sudden movement.

though the next moment he's scooting away as far as he can from simon, backed up against the headboard like a scared animal would. ]

[ blinks in surprise. ]

I-- It was in the k-kitchen. Rob brought it o-over.

Rob did?

[ tilts his head. ]

I guess he can eat cheesecake everyday, since he lives outside and all.

[easytype.livejournal.com]

[ scoots closer, voice dropping into an excited whisper. ]

Hey, if I ever have to live outside, you'd live with me, right?

[sadtype.livejournal.com]

[ yet again he's surprised, though there's a hint of red in his cheeks as he looks down. ]

A-as long as you'd l-like me to.

We'll get a big house! Bigger than this. We can have two kitchens, and--

[easytype.livejournal.com]

[ suddenly stills. ]

. . . what if someone else wanted you to live with them?

... [ thinks on this. ]

I-- [ looks confused, head tilted to the side, not really looking at anything in particular now. ]

[sadtype.livejournal.com]

[ winces, because now he's conflicted, fighting against two sides of himself. ]

[sadtype.livejournal.com]

[ finally looks back at simon, frowning deeply. almost looks a bit upset. ]

Why would anyone want to l-live with me that's not y-you?

[ scowls. ]

Anna took Sora away. He'll take you away too.

[ uncharacteristic focus here. ]

So would you?

[ tries to not look panicked, because being put on the spot =/= a sanity saver. ]

I-- I don't know.

[sadtype.livejournal.com]

[ stares down at his hands, thinking some more. gathers more courage and stares into simon's eyes. ]

You w-wouldn't let that happen.

[ that does the trick. beams. ]

Of course not! You're mine, after all.

[easytype.livejournal.com]

[ puts a hand to his chin, plotting. ]

But I still need some more defenses in place. Just in case.

[ jabs a finger at oliver's face, right between his eyes. ]

If anyone other than me says that you're theirs, if they want you to live with them, or anything else that doesn't have me involved, you will say no.

[easytype.livejournal.com]

[ some of the confidence wavers at the last part. ]

C-- [ clears throat. ] Could you do that?

[ ... ah. conflicted some more. on one hand, he's asking if he could say that while meaning it to the fullest. on the other, he's asking if he could say it in general, right? ]

[sadtype.livejournal.com]

[ puts a hand on his chest, feeling his heartbeat for a moment. doesn't know why it hurts right there, the feeling new and strange.

but he needs to be sure of something because of this. ]

Is t-that an order?

[ he's running on adrenaline, instinct, need . . . desperation? as such, the first round of answer(s) is immediate & furious. ]

Yes!

[easytype.livejournal.com]

[ stops when the energy wears off, leaving his mind a little bit clearer. he shrinks back, looking small. shakes his head slowly. ]

. . . no. No. Well, not an order, not really.

[easytype.livejournal.com]

[ looks frustrated. ]

But-- you wouldn't. Otherwise. Would you. [ it was meant to be a question, instead coming out as a statement, more bitter in flavor. ] You wouldn't stay with me. You'd let people steal you away.

[ panics for a second, knowing this is making simon upset. and when simon (anyone) is upset, it's time for oliver to act accordingly. ]

N-no, that's not-!

[sadtype.livejournal.com]

[ but he stops, giving a hurt look back at him. speaks very clearly this time, shaking his head. ]

... I don't know.
