[A worse person would tell Linneus that he still hasn't fully told him yet. That he still needs to say the words. But Bull isn't like that. Never has been. Never will be.]
I know how this place works. One day, we're going to find ourselves locked in an elevator and they'll pump some kind of truth gas into the air, or we'll go to lunch and it will turn out all of the bread has flour that makes people share their emotions, or we'll end up in the wilderness and all of the wood will make fires that share secrets or memories of those who look into it together... And, also, somehow all of those will have powerful aphrodisiac mixed in. Because that's what they care about. How to destroy you and make you fuck.
I don't want my truth to be torn out of me that way.
I've been so scared to tell you and every day that passes between that day I ruined things with you and now it seems even more daunting to tell you, but if this place ends up forcing me to tell you...
[He hasn't run. He's still there. He still has the scarf draped over his shoulders too. He steps back to let Bull in.
The apartment lacks a lot of the personality that Bull's house has but he has been here for over a year and there's a lot of books - mostly techincal or fiction - and some trinkets put away here and there.]
Did you want anything to drink? I'm all out of wine at the moment, but I have water and juice. And tea.

Date: 2020-01-02 09:33 am (UTC)I told Linneus about you. About how I feel about you. He told me to tell you.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-02 09:35 am (UTC)Yeah? Must have been one hell of a conversation.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-02 09:40 am (UTC)It was a lot to tell someone that I would be willing to give a piece of my soul to you.
I wish I was brave enough to tell you first.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-02 09:42 am (UTC)[That's...really huge. Even if Cyril had to tell someone else first.]
no subject
Date: 2020-01-02 09:43 am (UTC)It has been a few years since you told me about it.
no subject
Date: 2020-01-02 09:45 am (UTC)Yeah it does.
[But they don't have the tooth here. And hearing the words after all this time... It's getting to him.]

I don't know if I'll ever be okay with that.

no subject
Date: 2020-01-02 10:00 am (UTC)Damn, he hates that he's actually worried he might. It's a shitty feeling. He hates it.]

You know, sometimes I think you won't ever surprise me again. Then you find another way to do it.
[Bull smiles at him.]
That was some confession.
