Cori?

...I'm scared of losing more people.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Blue... I know you'll reach out to more people than I ever will, and you'll keep forging friendships till the day you die.

[However soon or far that is.]

This sounds like a fucking cliché, but don't be afraid to be scared. People love you, it's not going to be all your fault.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I'm just tired.

[Leans his head on Cori's shoulder]

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm tired too.

[But not of Blue. Another kiss to his temple.]

Do you want to go home?

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[Nods a little]

Yes, please.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[Scooping him up, headphones and all, to the Vespa. Cori insists on driving.]

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[Clinging onto him, and when they arrive]

I'm sorry I have to leave.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Blue.

[Stopping at the front door to cup his cheek.]

Don't be sorry for wanting to protect the things you love.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

The only think I've managed to not mess up by protecting is you, Cori.

...and yet...

[holds his palm to his cheek]

I can't forget my duty to Fabletown. I don't want the glory anymore. I just want everyone to be safe. I just want to play my trumpet.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Give yourself some credit. I know the stories.

[From what Blue's told him anyway, Ruby Lake to Manhattan. Thumb rubbing his cheek.]

I understand, Blue.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I'm trying.

I'm just a little blue, Cori. I'll be fine.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

A little?

[Looking him down and up. Blue clothes and all. He opens the door for Blue.]

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

You know what I mean.

[He's not just a little blue. He's very blue.]

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[Arm across the doorway to halt Blue from entering their home, just for a moment. He leans in to kiss him.]

I love you.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I love you too, Cori.

[Gives him a kiss back]

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[Long sweet kiss is long and sweet. Then he moves his arm and ushers Blue in.]

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[He goes inside, and looks around for a second.]

Come on.

[Heads upstairs]

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[Following him up the stairs, stripping his clothes along the way.]

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[He's still clothed when he sits on the edge of the bed]

You're beautiful.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Are you trying to flatter me?

[It's a joke! He sits next to Blue.]

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

No.

[Shakes his head]

I mean it.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[Assisting Blue with clothing removal, purely innocent intentions here.]

So are you.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[Assists, and he's sitting on the bed]

You're worth everything.

[A soft, very sweet kiss. It's very Blue]

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

You're worth the wait, baby.

[Returning the kiss, a rare sweet Cori kiss, though not quite rare for Blue anymore!]

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[leans forward, and presses a kiss to his eye]

I never meant to make it difficult.
