Except that was a hell of a lot easier to do when the very obvious thing wasn't the same man telling him all about how he didn't like secrets. Maybe in the same ways Faustite didn't like surprises? He almost understood it now.
He could practically see it, the way they fell on each other while also falling apart. He almost wanted to ask Aelius how in the ever loving ******** it was he fell back into bed with 'Eion' -- not Elex!! Elex was dead to all the world and buried ten feet under ten tons of 'don't touch me I'm too hot!' trauma.
But Eion?
The questions made him antsy, bade him to move, to lose Aelius gaze because he really didn't feel like looking him in the eyes right now, not when he was going to be mostly, somewhat, kinda lying to him.
"If it was Senshi s**t that was also mine? It'd be easier to explain, I promise you, but this little trinket is a knight with a capital king 'k' thing. So I really don't know what to tell you....." he could find other things to do, make sure his end of things were put away, he didn't need a bag to go to his home, did he? Nah, and hell, if he was honest with himself? Had Aelius been absent for even half a second he would've henshined the hell up and teleported out his living room, rules of living under the mans roof be damned. He needed to move before he said something regrettably sour -- before he sparked the other boys ire by opening his fat a** mouth.
"Except to enjoy every second of the reward, Aelius. Whether you think it's one or not. Maybe if you find a way to dig some good outta it -- if the little absence makes you any damn fonder of me --- I'll tell you what I got up to with Faustite. Only so long as it doesn't piss you off even *more* a'course..." and there was a part of him that wanted to hang around and discuss how Aelius was prone to jealousy, that, since the man was suddenly so damn willing? Maybe they could tear all the little nuance n flouncy bits of cover paper apart and he could ask all the hard questions that got doors slammed and tables thrown. Maybe if he did it all now, while Aelius was practically begging to have a conversation?
Yeah, no, ******** that, it was absolutely time to go.
"Yah, anyways! Love you, miss you, be safe, buh-bye!"
