[Is... is that supposed to be a bad thing? Should he want to be embarrassed on a regular basis? The attention is nice in a way, but it's also hard to be the center of this kind of pointed focus. When you want to be an attention whore but you also don't...............]

...I think you would be the one suffering more for it if I told you to quit. But maybe you should feel bad, saying little things to shame me.

[He sounds more petulant than mad.]

[ohrlyeh]

Shame you? Hardly.

[Why would he ever shame a little star like this? He leans against his head, eyes gazing into eyes.]

Payback for saying...you would never...tire of me. Perhaps.

[Lovecraft's gentle side is effortlessly disarming. Char doesn't stray when Lovecraft leans in, as prone to scouring the depths of his gaze as ever.]

I did say that, didn't I. And I don't regret speaking the truth.

You see me in ways that I never will, Nishi.

[Astounding, really. To look upon a beast, a god, and still want to settle close to its shadow.]

[A low sigh - his eyes crinkle a little, pleased.]

It's no feat, I assure you. I only recognize the things we share between us.

[Maybe it's enough to see the good in each other, even if they'll never see it in themselves. A weighty sigh betrays him— he really can see himself too damn well in those deep dark eyes. Somehow, it wouldn't feel right to look away.]

In time, I'd like to think the way others see you will be easier to bear. That you'll learn to trust all the good that they see.

I don't think that's bad. I have not met...one. Close to myself. In such a way.

[His hand goes up, cups the other's cheek, before he presses his lips against the tip of his nose.]

I have lived for...many years. Time does not provide much. I am not good. I simply am...what I am.
