@unheald asked: ❛ they think i'm broken. i'm not broken. ❜ - from louis

silence stretches in the comfort of the rented room, but the aura’s off. louis’s tension comes off in familiar waves, but armand waits for him to say something. he sits on the bed, shoulders relaxed against the headboard, seemingly calm, despite the whirlwind in his skull. it’s joined by worry for how louis looks, for his overall posture — emotion ( is it sadness? ) making his eyes seem brighter somehow. he can’t describe it, chooses to inhale a drag from the cigarette perched between his lips.

he’s desperate to know the right move in all this. such sadness, but doesn’t he know he’d choreograph the world to his favor if he could? he could free him ( they could free each other ).

he wants to comfort him, to do more than flip ashes into the tray on the nightstand. his hand in all this — it isn't to hurt him, even though he knew it could ( for a time ).

as louis finally speaks, amber eyes seek him out and he scoots to the edge of the bed to sit beside him instead, a slender hand coming to rest on the other vampire’s shoulder — gentle, an attempt at reassurance.
