    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I figure I’m good at it, or at least better at it, because I just did it. I looked at the way it was supposed to go and I made it go that way. Can’t stop to overthink things. And maybe at first it doesn’t much look like a frog or a penguin or a paper crane, but if you could just see it through-”

    “Why are you doing this to me?” Edgeworth whispers.

    “I had to,” Phoenix says. “You know I had to.”

     

    “It’s easier, I hear, if you do.” Phoenix shifts his weight a little further in; their knees bump and Edgeworth inhales sharply. He doesn’t move his leg away.

    “I don’t want to.”

    “Don’t you?” Phoenix doesn’t call him a liar; he doesn’t need to. Edgeworth closes his eyes, pained.

    “I don’t want to want to.”

    “I didn’t want you to leave.” Phoenix puts his hand on Edgeworth’s thigh.

    “I came back. I was always going to.” Edgeworth shifts like he wants Phoenix to move his hand, but he doesn’t push Phoenix away. He doesn’t pull back. It’s as good as an invitation, now.

     

    “And I’m saying it should have been. You should have stayed for me, and if you couldn’t do that, you should have come back for me.” Phoenix lets go completely, just for the satisfaction of seeing Edgeworth crumple without his touch. His whole face falls; he looks like he might cry. God it hurts, it sucks, Phoenix wants so much but he’s used to wanting things he can’t get. It’s Edgeworth’s turn to suffer a little. Phoenix leans away.

    “I can’t live my life for you Wright, even if I…” Edgeworth trails off, reaching out to put his hands against Phoenix’s chest, abandoning his side of the sofa altogether. Phoenix closes his eyes at the contact. It sings through him.

    “You can and you should. I saved you. That means your life belongs to me now. It’s mine. And now you’re staying here with me.” It’s simple when he says it, even as Edgeworth’s eyes widen in shock and horror. Edgeworth pulls back his hands but they’re trembling.

    “I think you should kiss me now,” Phoenix suggests.

    “Will it help?” Edgeworth asks pathetically.

    “Yeah,” Phoenix says. “Absolutely.”

     

    For a little while it will be like this: falling together, needing to speak, to touch, to stay together. This is the way things are now, Edgeworth will have to see that eventually. After some time the bond will stretch like taffy. Edgeworth will be able to leave the house, work, live his life - so long as he always comes back to Phoenix, waiting with open arms and love spilling over the sides. Phoenix is sure that by the time Edgeworth really can go anywhere, he won’t want to anymore.

    “I hate you.” Edgeworth says with quiet venom.

    “No, you don’t.” Phoenix smiles, pressing a kiss against his shoulder.

    Summary

    Zagreus wished that the arm draped over his midsection was a comfort. He wanted it to be, so badly. He wanted the body at his back to be a source of safety, and love. But they weren’t. They never were. And he couldn’t keep pretending.

    “ Zagreus wished that the arm draped over his midsection was a comfort. He wanted it to be, so badly. He wanted the body at his back to be a source of safety, and love. But they weren’t. They never were. And he couldn’t keep pretending.”

    “Zagreus should have stopped this a long time ago. He should never have allowed it to develop in the first place. He should have…

    It didn’t matter. He didn’t do any of that. He’d just let Hades comfort him after finding out he was trapped and never… never tried to stop any of it. He’d enjoyed having Hades so focused on him, enjoyed hearing the honey-sweet lies that were everything Zagreus had wanted to hear as a young man. His father loved him. Wanted him. Was proud of him and enjoyed his presence.

    He hadn’t wanted it to stop. He’d encouraged it, even, and when Hades had warned that they were crossing a boundary they couldn’t uncross, Zagreus had plowed on ahead, terrified to lose what he had gained.

    He’d fucked his father and let himself pretend they were making love. They weren’t. It was all just… a cover. A shallow, twisted, empty version of the love they both were missing.”

    “Nothing of what he’d had with Hades was true. He knew that. He’d known that from the beginning. He’d just taken any affection he could get from the man and hadn’t stopped to consider the consequences of it. No matter what he did after this, this… physical thing they had was the only thing they’d ever have. Zagreus had made sure of it.”
