[Whatever it is that allowed that connection between them, it's made so much easier to lean in together, to talk and share like they are now. The hard barriers are down and gone, and so now they have ones of working out things between them and how to continue this relationship.]

You deserve more than that, Eliot. You're an amazing man who has been through so much. You don't know that it isn't still there without the triggers. You just have to work on it and see what you can have. I mean, not everyone gets a magic bell to work out the hard parts.

[It's a joke, knowing it's maybe not fair but unable to help himself. If only it might make Eliot relax and maybe looking to a chance between them.]

You aren't weak, Eliot. In no way. And I know you didn't mean it that way but I'm going to remind you of that, just like I'm going to remind you that you deserve the love you want. The love you know you've had.

[He tenses slightly, frowning at that. ]

No one should be disappointed in you.

[No matter what there is between them, Eliot is his friend and Caleb will defend him. No matter what.]

Eliot, you help with me being happy by being you. I'm glad you're the one I contracted with. You're my friend and someone I trust. No matter what happens with me and others, with you and Quentin. Whatever there is, you're my friend, okay? And that means so much to me.

[It was something that had been a fight between him and his former dominant. Friendship as a start hadn't been enough and it had been rough on Caleb knowing he was constantly living up to expectations he hadn't agreed to or wanted.]

I'm happy and safe, and I'm here to help. With any of it. Even monsters if it happens.

[Eliot would have said going in that he absolutely wanted nothing to do with manufactured intimacy. And he'd still say that now. But in this one instance, it had worked out for the best because he'd gotten a friend and a confidant out of it when he sorely needed it. He would forever have Margo, but there were things Eliot wanted to shield her from too, so there were details he held back. With Caleb, the need to do that had been bypassed.]

I had that. [Eliot smiles and shrugs.] It wasn't perfect, and I don't exactly remember clearly and he doesn't remember at all. But technically, I already had a lifetime. Even greedy as I am, I know when to settle for a good thing. [Because he'd ruined any chance at anything else when Quentin died because of him. Q being alive here - it was more than enough. Eliot just can't help but feel the twinges. Love's a bitch.] That bell did come in handy though. I'm keeping it in mind for next year, maybe I'll send you in to ring with Francis and I'll bring you water and peek at the show now and then.

[Eliot reaches for Caleb's hand, his fingers running over Caleb's knuckles slowly.] I appreciate the confidence, but trust me when I say that I can definitely be weak, and often a shit, and definitely a coward. He's allowed to be frustrated or disappointed.

But you help me too. And yes. I'll make you a best friends forever bracelet if you want, but only if you don't tell Margo. To be honest I'd make her one but it probably wouldn't suit her style in five minutes and then she'd toss it in a drawer. [Eliot gives him another quick, soft kiss.] Honestly meeting you is one of the better parts of this place, and given there's one best friend here, and another one back from the dead, it's a pretty exacting list to be on. Lets try to steer clear of monsters though.

[Caleb shifts, moving to wrap his other arm around Eliot, snuggling in close to him and pressing soft kisses along his jaw. Trying to offer what comfort he could, to try and be there for him while wanting to do all he can to fight for Eliot having all he wants.

He knows it's wrong, but it just seems unfair that in his life before he had it and now has to face all the reasons he thinks he can't have it here.]

Yeah well, who says a lifetime's enough? But I'll let it go and be here for you, because I want to.

[He really feel he knows Eliot and Eliot knows him and he's glad to have their connection and friendship.]

I bet they don't let us ring without a dominant, but then maybe the three of us can. I... Francis really does deserved to be loved for and cared about and I'm glad that he us and this place to try and make things better for him.

[With a chuckle he crosses his heart.]

Not a word, though I'll gladly wear it. [He hugs Eliot, resting his cheek on Eliot's shoulder for a moment. ] We'll take care of one another, no matter what this place does to us. No matter what.

[formerhighking]

[Eliot accepts the cuddling and closeness readily, smiling and wrapping Caleb up tight. He's glad he has this, with Caleb. He'd still have Margo, so he'd be getting by regardless. But he knows he wouldn't be coping half as well without Caleb around.] It's not, apparently, but it's better than not having it. And thank you. [Eliot kisses him sweetly. And then laughs ruefully.]

You're probably right. But I'd ring with both of you. We'd have to warn him going it what happens though, assuming we all are still game by the time it comes around again. He might actually like to keep a few secrets, we already gave up all of ours. And he does. We can spoil the hell out of him.

[Eliot hugs him back.] It's a deal. I'll always be there when you need me. And also when you want me, because, and I don't know if I've mentioned this, you're very sexy.

[ipswichson]

[Snuggling in against Eliot, he sighs softly. He enjoys this, needing this between them and to have this to help him get through this place. Eliot was one of the main things that changed his life in this place. ]

I'm here for you, Eliot. They threw us together not realizing we'd use it to get one another through this place.

Secrets? What are those?

[He laughs though. In this room between the two of them there are no secrets. Unless they've been made in the last month.]

I trust you Eliot, and this place made that hard. So I'm glad you're my dominant.

Oh? Am I? Wow, next to you that is a compliment.
