SIKEN MEME || PLEASE I LOVE THIS ONE
laurence looks down at his hands. fingers curl slightly and he stretches them out, plucks at a loose thread on his jeans. robert, he thinks. this is about robert. he’s not sure how that makes him feel, how it SHOULD make him feel. that joseph’s previous affair affects this– whatever it is.
❛ it doesn’t have to, ❜ he says quietly, looking back up at joseph from under his lashes. ❛ we can– THIS can be different. ❜ if you let it, he doesn’t say.
in the end, joseph has to make the choice. he can make it different, if he chooses. but somehow, laurence doesn’t think this will go in his favor. joseph isn’t going to change things just for him. if he didn’t leave mary for someone like ROBERT, there’s no way he’s gonna do it for someone like LAURENCE.
he shakes his head, fingernails biting into his palms as he curls his fingers tight. bitterness fills his chest, coats his tongue. it’s not fair. joseph isn’t HAPPY. laurence KNOWS it. and yet– and yet his STUPID sense of loyalty or faith or whatever the fuck holds him back.
❛ you’re an idiot, joseph christiansen. ❜
