It is alright to ask questions. But anyways,that guy, Gilgamesh, I think he's taking advantage of Dantalion pretty badly, but he also made a point to me that I hadn't considered. There are bad wars going on in Hell right now and Dantalion is in the middle of it. He's been forced to throw himself into the bloodshed head first. Because I wouldn't vote for him. Or any of them. And they have no choice but to go down the more dangerous path. And hah...
[It's all such a mess how to even explain.]
But Dantalion spoke with me on Christmas even and I thought we had come to an understand of sorts. We resolved a of things and I told him I wanted him to stay by my side. And he wished for that too, but then refused. He said that the end of the world was coming and he needed to protect me and then he just... left.
[He sounds a little pissed now.]
Who just does that, huh? You can't go on about how we both want the same things and then just leave like that. I am hardly anyone to be coddled!
[Yeah this is what is really annoying him right now.]
Dude, what the hell . . . this is the kinda stuff that happens to you when you go back home for a while?!
[WILLIAM, YOUR LIFE. How do you even comfort someone over all this? That's crazy! Leon leans into him, but he's not sure what to say; it's all too complicated. Political? Not to mention the crazy demon part? Not to mention—]
[He pulled on his shirt collar a moment trying to think of how to word it, because he didn't actually want to lie, even if the need to express denial was strong.]
I don't know! [He's now gone from his collar to his tie, fiddling with it.] I just know I want him around and maybe...
Well, one thing at a time.
[That was a complete non-answer okay? But he's trying.]
You just tell a man you want him to live with you and people take it the wrong way...
[But seriously he's going to make himself simmer down and for real, be truthful.]
But I don't know if it's that I want that or not. I find him attractive and all...
[That's something he can admit after having been forced to think about it in this place and things that have been silently clicking into place back home for a while.]
But I don't know if I want that sort of thing with him. But... I wouldn't mind it I think. Maybe.
[He smacks William on the shoulder, encouraging. Well, he's trying to be, anyway. Sometimes it just comes out like that.]
Then you better go for it when you run into him again! Long's he treats you good! I hope I get to meet him someday! I'll make sure he does, man, don't worry!
. . . I'd say it's pretty gay to tell a dude you want him to live with you, but I've got a roommate too, and I totally just told you earlier I'd have moved in with you too, sooooo . . .
[On the other hand, he's fucking his roommate, and also told William earlier he'd fuck him too, soooooo.]
Oh no please don't do anything or say anything to him if he does come here. Please don't.
[For a million reasons. Chief among them is Dantalion really doesn't need encouragement. Second being that William's not entirely sure if Dantalion actually wants that. Sure, a lot of his behavior is flirtatious, but that might not mean anything. And while he's not one to fret over such a thing much, just because Dantalion wanted Solomon that way doesn't mean those feelings extend to the person he currently is. And it would be unfair to expect as much.]
It could totally be neutral though... I guess yes that is not normal. Most people back home would just call me a confirmed bachelor and be done with it.
[He blinks though and laughs.]
That is a bad example yes. Or at least, not the best example.
You kinda wish he'd show up, huh? I mean . . . I would if I was you.
[Go William. Maybe. Hopefully. He grins at him, relieved that he didn't get some crazy response to his admission or anything—not that he'd expect one. William's cool and all.]
A bit I guess. Which feels strange to say. I used to spend so much time telling him to go away.
[William isn't going to judge at this point, even if that is the strangest person to be fuck buddies with. His own tastes are so questionable that William can't fairly judge.]

—Are you and this guy, like, a thing?
no subject
[Wait oh god what? How did Leon even get to that? And leave it to Leon to go that route]
No! We're not! We're just...
[But really there's no good, honest way he can answer this. Except to be, well honest.]
I... it's complex, okay. But no, we are not a couple or anything like that.
[Yes. Well no, probably not. Maybe. Sort of. He doesn't know. That's the problem honestly.]
no subject
[He can't help but pursue it. He loves this kind of thing. And if William didn't put him off earlier, maybe he's not that straight after all.]

I'm a little jealous . . .

[He leans in closer, because what the hell, why not.]
Look, I know you won't tell anyone this, buuuut my roommate and my sexfriend are actually the same person . . . got it?
[He leans away, laughing and rubbing his neck.]
A-anyway, that ain't fair! I wanna meet this guy!
no subject
I guess that guy is a bit more... relaxed about certain things than I would have given him credit for.
[...go Leon? Maybe. Hopefully.]
...you never know, you might. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't found his way here by now. He's always been so nosy.

[He's over heating at this point and just shoves Leon back, a little too forcefully honestly.]
Pervert.
