Castle burning sitting in a booth, looking a bit out-of-sorts.

Because mun is working on large, unpleasant term paper, he won't be hugely inclined towards conversation, but he's around.

Fire at will.

He's forced to look away, sick of showing vulnerability.

There's a part of him that honestly does want to stop sleeping with Namo. He wants to see if Namo really would still love him if sex weren't an option anymore. He'll never be sure otherwise. But he can't do that. It would cause needless pain, and he'd miss it himself.

[namo]

"Would you rather we not have sex for a while?" he asks softly. He would. He could. If it would somehow reassure Lee, he would do it.

You would sense a lie, Lee. Yes, I do. I want that with you. It can even be done without... without any physcial release. Both times I have done so with Gorlim, it has been without physical loving...

That had been Gorlim's choice, of course, and one Námo respected.

He suspects that Namo, being a god and the one who created the bond in the first place, could easily lie through it if he wanted to, even if Lee and Gorlim can't. But he's just playing devil's advocate. He believes Namo, and the reassurance is visible as the tension leaves his shoulders.

"No. I don't want to stop having sex with you. It isn't necessary." For now. Hopefully forever.

[namo]

He nods once.

"All right."

Námo swallows nervously.

"Come to my room tomorrow night? Spend the night with me?"

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

He nods, perhaps too quickly for dignity. "All right."

[namo]

Not that Námo notices.

He again takes Lee's hand. I love you.

And just as he would with Gorlim, he opens the bond to allow the warmth and certainty of his love for Lee flow between them.
