Alistair lay on his bed, face buried in the pillow. He'd done it again - kissed Lance without thinking, after they'd been awakened into the Dark Mirror Court. What the hell was he supposed to do? As Damocles, he looked amazing. Beautiful. Strong.
He groaned and fished out his phone.Text to Lance I didn't mean to put you on the spot again

Lance was in his room, poking at the keys of his keyboard when his phone's text tone started ringing from his bed. The blonde dove, accidentally knocking over his keyboard in the process. "Oh s**t." He yelped as bounce as he hit his bed, grabbing his phone and went toppling to the floor. Oh please oh please 4 Unread Messages From: Alistair HolmesOh god it was Alistair. Not bothering to remove himself from the floor, the blonde began texting. Welp so much for that. He had managed three words.

Alistair froze for a minute when his phone played the text ringtone. He'd seriously considered turning off his phone after he sent those messages to Lance, rather than wait for a response, but he'd known he would just turn it back on.
Once he actually read the messages, he rolled onto his back and stared, trying to read tone into three words. Was Lance upset? The speedy reply said no - he hoped. But three words?
"Ugghhh." He groaned, rolling over again and burying his face in the pillow for a few seconds. What was he supposed to do? Finally, he rolled back over and typed out a reply.Text to Lance Still, I'm sorry. I seem to be making things horribly awkward between us a lot recently.

"Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid..." Lance rolled over and banged his head on the floor. Why could he just manage three words. "Smooth Lance. Really smooth." Though his head pop up again as his phone went off. Text to Alistair Really it's okay. ...I didn't make things any easier at the con so.. You have nothing to apologize for."

Alistair made a quiet whining noise when the new text came in, scooping up his phone in a rush. He whined again when he actually read it.
"Idiot," he murmured, though his tone was full of affection.Text to Lance I put you on the spot twice, of course I have something to be sorry for. Text to Lance It's not fair of me to force my feelings on you like that, never mind how inappropriate kissing you out of the blue is.

Text to Alistair I.. didn't exactly stop you either time. The blonde finally picked himself up from the floor, sprawling along his bed. Text to Alistair I'm not mad Ali... Honest.

Alistair growled softly, sitting up. It was a good thing Lance couldn't see his face; he probably looked more angry than he was, even if he was definitely a little frustrated.Text to Lance That doesn't make it okay! Text to Lance I was wrong to do it the first time; the second was inexcusable Text to Lance I've felt this way about you for a long time, and I... Text to Lance Seeing you as Damocles, I wasn't thinking properly. Text to Lance Senshi looks good on you.

Text to Alistair I know Alistair... I know. He sighed. This was stupid. Why were they doing this to each other. Texting was getting them nowhere. ******** it. With that, Lance pushed the button on his phone and held it up to his ear. "Please answer please answer...."

Alistair whined when his phone started ringing. He seriously considered letting it go to voicemail, and he almost did - but as always when Lance called (he was forever helpless), he picked up. "I don't know what this is going to accomplish," he said, and he jnew he sounded horribly sad.

Lance honestly laughed when Alistair picked up. "...I didn't think you'd actually answer..." The blonde then grew quiet. "... Hey.." He greeted quietly. "..I don't know either okay? But we'll figure it out."

"I almost didn't," Alistair admitted, sitting up and leaning against the headboard of his bed. He wrapped an arm around his knees, exhaling. "I don't know what there is to work out," he said. "I've been in love with you for a year and you have no idea if you feel the same way."

"I noticed.." He said quietly. "Alistair... You spent the better part of that year flirting and teasing with me.." And just about everyone else. "I'm sorry that I didn't realize your feelings were true..." The blonde sighed again, running his hand through his hair. And that was his fault. Maybe if he hadn't been so unaware and shy he would have picked up on Alistair's hints. "...And that's my fault.. Just don't give up, I am workin' it out. Please don't give in, I won't let you down.. We need to talk Ali.. You know we do."

Alistair swallowed and squeezed his eyes shut, resting his forehead on his knees. "I'm sorry for all that, too...I made you monstrously uncomfortable, didn't I?" He made a soft sad whimpering noise, fighting back crying again. It was a losing battle, and tears began to roll down his cheeks, but at least he was crying silently. "I am so sorry for putting you in this position, I..." He swallowed. "If you don't feel the same way I do, please, just tell me. I'd rather know, and all I want is for you to be happy, anyway."

"Ali... It's okay.. Really. Alright? I want you to listen to me. I'm not uncomfortable okay? I promise." He wasn't stupid. He could hear it. "Alistair, stop. Just breathe Ali. It's okay. It's okay. You.." He sighed. "You know I'm not good with these things Ali.. even when the other kids in school to it." Lance's saving grace had been when Alistair started chasing everyone off. "...In some way..I'm glad this is with someone I know." He laughed quietly, trying to cheer Ali up. "Could you imagine if it was someone else Ali? You'd have to come save my a**. Like always." Lance really didn't know what he'd do with out Ali. The Blonde stood up, craddling the phone close. "Ali... Don't cry. Listen.. Can.. Can I come over? I'll walk alright? That way we can both have some time to think. And then... we can talk about this. Is that okay?"

Alistair was shaking his head the entire time Lance spoke. "I'm glad I did at least one good thing, then," he said, and then he whined faintly. If anyone else had done what he did, he would've been furious. In fairness, he was furious with himself, so at least his reaction was the same.
Lance's suggestion that he come over was met with a full minute of silence on Ali's end. Then, finally, he responded. "Yeah, that'd...that'd be okay." At least they could get this over and done with.
