You've reached Lust. I'm not available at the moment, please leave a message.

If it's important enough, I'll get back to you.

[The pause extends again. For a long while. Not because she's said anything wrong. Far from it.]

[Maybe Lust, finally, has said the right thing. The words every well-meaning friend and family member has somehow not found yet. Or, maybe they have. Maybe he hadn't been able to hear it, then.]

He wanted

me to be who I was

We
we did talk about that much

[Shut up he's not leaking all over his 'gear. It's just raining.]

Then you have your answer, Shiro.

Live, and be happy, and honor the one that loved you that way.

[The silence stretches again. Shiro trying to get himself, his emotion, back under control before he can say anything. honor the one that loved you that way - is it an honor? Would that be right?]

[They did talk about it. About being who he was. Bringing that back out again. Maybe it was right. Maybe he was allowed... After all. He wasn't judging Lust for moving on like she had from her first love. He couldn't.]

[So why is it so hard to do the same for himself?]

this makes me
wonder why i never talked to you in the first place

[a_sin_for_him]

It's something you and I have in common. We're not prone to talking about emotional things or personal things.

But sometimes it does help.

I

for what it's worth
if it helps - i'll listen to you


Try to talk, in return.

Thank you, Shiro. I'd take you up on the offer, but I'm quite honestly doing alright.

I'm sure it won't last indefinitely, though.

[shiro2hero]

For your sake?

I really hope it does.
