"I don't want to be in the way. Don't want to be just some little boy that you two have to work around. Want to be kitten again. Someone's kitten. Anyone's."
Standing just outside the door, eyes tightly closed. Hearing every word, wincing with every accusation. Hearing Jason and looking up, meeting his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Jason. I shouldn't have said that. Maybe I should go. Live with Lee. Or Sennyo and my other. Or that man that offered tonight. Leela says you and Gabriel will be married soon. Don't need a child like me in the way."
Closes his eyes, leaning his head back against the wall. "We can't send him away because he's pard, he's ours, and I don't trust anyone not to hurt him."
Opens his eyes, turning his head to look at Nathaniel.
"And leaving things the way they are is hurting him too."
Looks back at Gabriel.
"I can't keep hurting him Gabe, but I'm scared to death of fucking things up even more."
Reaching over, taking Jason's hand and pulling him close. Whispering softly, not sure if Nathaniel can hear them or not.
"We only have two choices. Either we take him into our relationship, as our pet. Or we find him a new home, as horrid as that sounds. He's not a puppy, I know but..."
"Wait a second. You just left the decision as to whether or not he stays or goes up to ME, and now when I leave the decision as to whether or not he shares our bed up to you, it's not right? What the fuck?"
Shakes his head.
"Screw this. Nathaniel, are you sleeping with us or the others tonight?"

"Why are people so mean about me serving?"
no subject
Date: 26 Jul 2005 06:02 (UTC)"I'm not sure either."
Looks down at the blanket, running his fingers over it.
"Because they're all about free will and responsibility and 'oh no, slavery is bad and the slave is always horribly abused' and bullshit like that."
He looks toward the door, frowning.

Pulls his knees up to his chest, resting his head on them.

Stands and walks to the door, pauses.
"I'm sorry."

Date: 26 Jul 2005 07:42 (UTC)"I don't know what to do.'
Whispered softly, apologetically.

Date: 26 Jul 2005 07:59 (UTC)"Not a pet, no more pets."
Sighs, resting his head on Gabriel's shoulder.
"His decision and yours. You two have to figure this out."

"And he can't decide. Neither can I. Has to be us."

Swallows, then nods.
"He stays with us."

Date: 26 Jul 2005 08:19 (UTC)"You won't. I'm not going anywhere, and I'm doing this for us, okay. All of us."
Pulls back, still shaking a bit, wrapping his arms around himself.
"We just need to set up some rules or something..."

Kisses Gabriel softly.

"I. can't. Do. This. Not alone. I can't make the sole decisions about OUR relationship. I'm alpha, I'm not in charge of us."
