"I think your nightmares would disagree," Archaeus pointed out, fingers laced in front of his mouth. "You have the same theme in your nightmares and they haunt you frequently. Perhaps the dire dilemma you're waiting for to push you to talk to him is the threat of that stress swallowing up your life. However, I don't having a reason is why you're not telling him." He tilted his head slightly. "Byron, are you afraid of how your father would react?"

Archaeus didn't flinch. He could see distant memories of being a successful detective that was also a sought after psychiatrist, using his powers of deduction to figure out near impossible cases. Although they were fake memories, perhaps there was something in them that could help him right now.
"You want me to sleep with you because of nightmares linked to your father. I can't just let that go," he pressed. "I know it's personal, I don't mean to offend, but I can't be your teddy bear for the rest of your life because you won't confront your father. I'll even go with you and support you."

Archaeus sighed through his nose. Byron had some pretty tough walls surrounding him. Trying to pry them open wouldn't work well, not right now at least. "Let's change the subject then," he conceded. "Tell me what you know about my author."

It had been an interesting day. Archaeus met his author, being gravely disappointed to find out that the man had no inspiration, copying only his favorite games and movies. However, it wasn't a complete mess of a trip. He admitted his feelings to Byron, finding that the blue-haired man shared the same feelings!
It had been a couple days since the two returned from the trip. They'd been inseparable since then, spending as much time as possible together. Byron no longer called any of his exes, and Archaeus slept in the bed with him, although they still had yet to do anything. Archaeus kept his word and researched, although he found it difficult to even try looking anything up with Byron and his hawk eyes around. This was one of those cases. To avoid being mocked, the character decided to pull out a random tabloid, blinking as he stared at the front page.
"Simmons..." he murmured, reading the name next to the picture of a man. Archaeus looked at Byron. "Isn't that your last name?"

Byron Simmons
"I like you well enough..." Byron looked over the counter, holding a spatula in one hand and a large bowl of batter in the other. He raised an eyebrow, then nodded. "Yeah, that's it. Why?" Setting down the bowl, he stepped around and started towards Archaeus, wiping his hands on his frilly apron and pushing his hair back from his forehead.
The few days that had passed since they'd returned had gone fairly well. Although Byron wasn't entirely sure how to be in a relationship that didn't include vast amounts of sweaty, fun sex, he was trying very hard to be a good new boyfriend, even if he wasn't entirely sure of how to be one. When Archaeus wasn't looking, he would often look up how to make this all work, but spending all this time together was making it difficult to really absorb any of it.
Stepping closer, Byron peered down at the article and furrowed his brow. "Oh, that's my dad. Jonathon Simmons, archaeologist and journalist." "... so let's skip the romance~" ................................................................................

"He's quite famous," Archaeus noted as he flipped to the page containing his article. He read part of it then looked up at Byron. "Why have you never talked about him? He seems to be a great big deal. Have you ever gone on these explorations with him?"

Archaeus looked up at Byron. "You mean to say you haven't spoken to your father because you didn't want him seeing you with men?" He closed the newspaper, giving his partner a concerned look. He knew he was about to launch himself into the fire pits, but Byron had to talk about this.

"He is your son, Byron," Archaeus pointed out, his face bright red from the vivid imagery despite his serious expression. "Even if he does not think strongly of two men in a relationship, he should still love his son. Last time we talked about this I wasn't your lover, but now I am, and I think you should at least tell him. I'll be by your side when you do."

"If he does that then we can live at my place," Archaeus smiled, reminding Byron that he wasn't homeless. "I'll introduce you to a friend of mine. He's the entire reason I exist, so he pays for me. Says it's to redeem himself for causing this catastrophe, whatever that could mean." He put an arm around Byron's shoulders and rubbed his arm comfortingly. "It will go fine, I promise you. Your nightmares will, at the very least, come to an end."
