"I wonder if there's a way to make it not do what it does when you kiss me? I mean, kiss-kiss."

Only if Erik can make himself not want you.
"It bears thinking upon," *he agreed.* "You would not be against the project, then?"
*But part of him ached, for the acceptance of one who would not require this face to feel love, attraction, arousal. For there to be one person for whom it didn't matter.
Aside from Death, that is. The fellow was married, after all.*

"I wouldn't."
*Shyly, he placed a kiss on Erik's cheek*

((*iz ded in love with Erik* Julian just can't shadow Erik. It's bad. But Death would totally be gay for Erik. You know...and the woman is gone a lot....))

*Erik grasped Christian to him in a hug, the fierce warmth he felt towards the boy causing him to carefully avert his face and press him close enough that he would not see, if anything untoward happened.*
"You're quite something, Christian."

*He accepted the embrace gladly, taking comfort in the other's arms*
"So are you. I haven't felt this safe in ages."

*That treacherous hope reared itself inside him again, giving him cause to hope, for the first time in ages, that life could at last be normal.*
"Me neither," *he said, surprising himself.*
((Erik is so full of it.))

((Heh, and Christian is trusting and oblivious))
"So...what now?"

"Whatever you wish," *Erik said dazedly. Could she--he! be the one?* "Erik will find a way past this... setback. This curse. This face has been the way of my happiness for far too long."

((That new avatar is too cute))
I love you, Erik.
*He almost said it out loud. Almost. But he was afraid that it would be too soon. They didn't know each other well enough for that yet, certainly. Right?*
"I wish how you look didn't matter, that people would simply judge you on merits."

((Thanks! I worried about the glasses, but oh well.))
If you loved me, it wouldn't.
"As do I, my boy. But Erik knows too well how unlikely that will ever be."

*He sighed*
"Sounds hopeless..."
*Realizing that the conversation was taking a depressing turn, he tried to change the subject*
"So...is there anywhere you would like to show me?"

"Yes, it's in Erik's pants."
*Erik's spirits fell as he realized the truth; that his face would haunt him forever; that the boy was no more ready to forget it than was Christine.
Megan did not care. Nor Vianne. Nor Nadir.
But then again, none of them had approached him in that way until he was pretty.
It told him all he needed to know.
He moved away from Christian, suddenly tired.*
"No. Not tonight. Erik... needs to think. Would you like me to take you back down with me?"

*A bit crushed, but too polite to show it, Christian nods.*
"Oh, of course. I'm not sure if it would be safe for me to wander a Paris that I don't know, alone."

"I'm sure it would not be," *Erik said firmly, quite appalled at the idea of fragile, beautiful Christian at the mercy of the Parisian night.* "But Erik takes from your reply that you are not yet tired. Would you prefer another destination?"
Erik can deny you nothing.
Well, almost.
