[namo]

There is a Vala in the bar.

He is sipping tea and looking moodily into the hearth from his perch on the back of a chair.

"Thought you weren't coming back until tomorrow."

Melkor appears in the same chair Námo's perched on, flopped sideways, legs draped over the arm.

[namo]

Námo looks down at his brother, taking in the change.

"Gorlim called for me. He... needed help. What the hell happened to you?"

[ariseinmight]

Melkor shrugs. "I'm going through an adolescent goth phase. What difference does it make? You're right about Gorlim though. He needs help. By which I mean, a kick in the ass."

[namo]

He raises an eyebrow at Melkor.

"Does he now? Who should give it to him?"

[ariseinmight]

"I'm thinking you. You got bigger boots than me. 'Sides, I already tried."

[namo]

"You tried?"

He laughs, the sound bitter and harsh.

"If you failed, I stand no chance. How did you try?"

[ariseinmight]

Melkor looks up at Námo and reaches a hand up, touching his brother's hand lightly. He allows the memory of his conversation with Gorlim to flow into Námo's mind.

"Like that."

[namo]

He gasps.

By not lying about in his room with my arse bared to him? I gave him my mind, what else can I do?

In other words, you're making him think he has problems.

They chose to love me. If they decide I'm actually the repulsive thing Andres found me to be, let 'em find that out and it be their decision whether to run or keep me as I'd keep them.

What are you going to do next, show him how he actually wants me to go because I actually want him to go? Give him some logical reason why the next time I call for him, he shouldn't answer because it's what I EXPECT?

"What... am I supposed to do?"

[ariseinmight]

Melkor shrugs.

"How should I know? I would have eaten his soul and spit out the bones by now."

[namo]

"Melkor," he says, his eyes darkening. "If I get rid of him, I lose Lee, too."

[ariseinmight]

"So you lose Lee. If he cares more about Gorlim than you, then hell with him, too. If it's that important that you have someone to ass-pound, there's no shortage of that around here."

[namo]

Námo stares at Melkor with his mouth open.

"What? I am not with Lee only because we fuck!"

The younger Vala actually thwaps Melkor's head.

"Melkor -- your crudeness never ceases to amaze me."

[ariseinmight]

"Eh, you're easily amazed. You should be used to me by now. But really, brother. One mortal, another mortal... what's the difference? You can draw anyone you choose to you. Just be content with that, and throw the damaged ones back."

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

Now there's an unexpected sight for sore eyes.

Lee collapses into the chair and turns to look at him. "You're back early." He's happy about this, but it worries him a little.

[namo]

He looks down at Lee.

Mun is choosing this to all happen after Melkor. Melkor thread was important.

"Gorlim called me back. He needed help."

He reaches down to lovingly trace Lee's face.

"I missed you."

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

"I missed you too--" And he has, quite a lot, but he hasn't heard of any problems, has only had this vague sense of worry and foreboding all day, and his eyes narrow slightly at the confirmation.

"What kind of help?"

[namo]

"He spoke with someone who promised him answers in exchange for a glass of his blood spilt by his own hand."

His eyes darken.

"And he did it."

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

Idiot. Idiot, idiot, fucking idiot, can't we leave him alone for one fucking second without him doing something like this?

"Is he all right now?" His tone is angry, disgusted and worried sick.

[namo]

Námo nods.

"I bandaged the wound, fed him, helped him into bed." He swallows, nausea rising. "He was in Andres' room when I entered from Aman."

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

"Andres' room?" If there's any way to make Lee start feeling nauseous...

"God...I didn't know about any of this..." He covers his eyes with one hand, and leans back against Namo's lap.

[namo]

He runs his fingers through Lee's hair.

"Yes. It is where Ramon put him, thinking it was Gorlim's room, after Gorlim told him Eilinel would be in soon and would tend to him." He bends to press a kiss to the top of Lee's head. "I did not think you did, for I do not believe you would have let it happen."

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

The fact that it's Ramon to whom he owes thanks for saving his brother...when he himself should have been there, should have known, and what the fuck was Gorlim trying to do? How can he be trusted to be left alone now?

He rubs his eyes and lets them drift closed, with a very unhappy sigh.

[namo]

As am I. I did not realize how much I missed you both until you were gone from Aman.

He bends his head, folding himself in half, so he can presses a kiss to Lee's lips, deepening it as soon as Lee allows him to.

Three months, lover...

[not-a-redshirt.livejournal.com]

He moves so that it's easier to kiss Namo, both hands tangling themselves in the Vala's hair.

[namo]

He smiles into the kiss briefly before slipping his tongue deeper into Lee's mouth.

It is good to be back. To feel you near again. I love you.
