Roses Amongst Thorns (Kouki/Gavin)

[fearless]

Gavin looked to him and frowned. "I don't have friends," he admitted softly. "Eric doesn't like me to be out and about, he wants me near."

[Anelir]

Kouki had to hold back a growl. "And you are okay with this?" Giving a cough to cover up the harsh tone, he didn't want to scare the other. "I do not mean to pry, but that does not sound sound like something a boyfriend should do. Shouldn't he be keeping your happiness over his wants? Are you really happy not being able to to have friends?"

[fearless]

Gavin bit his lip, no he didn't like it, but he was too scared to break it off with Eric. "I have some friends, his friends." He smiled weakly as he walked with him. "I'm happy with him," he assured softly. He was happy most of the time till his lover was mean to him.

[Anelir]

He gave an unconvinced smile. "That sounded really convincing." The Zercan gave a sigh. "I always say that you shouldn't settle for something that makes life okay if you can get something that will make it happy." He mused.

[fearless]

Gavin sighed, "Its complicated," he told him softly. "I can't just leave him."

[Anelir]

He smiled. "Ah, but you want to. If that's the case, why is it you can't. It can't be out of pity for him can it?" He asked curiously.

[fearless]

Gavin bit his lip and looked to him. "I love him," he told him though it didn't sound too convincing. "Thats why."

[Anelir]

He scoffed, hand shooting up to cover his mouth. "Sorry, but you have to admit, that didn't even sound convincing enough to convince yourself." He shook his head. "So what's the real reason you're staying with him? It isn't like I'm going to act like an ass about it." He reassured.

[fearless]

Gavin bit his lip and looked away wondering if he should tell him this. "I live with him, where would I go? And he'll be angry if I break up with him..."

[Anelir]

"So, he'll be angry. If you aren't happy then you shouldn't force yourself." He bit his lip before continuing. "Y-you could always stay with me. I really don't have much of anything to put in the house yet and so I should have plenty of room. The house is supposed to be pretty big. I think it has two guest bedrooms." He offered with a smile.

[fearless]

Gavin looked to him surprised, "I barley know you..."

[Anelir]

He gave a small smile. "You didn't think ill of me for randomly being in the woods right away. I can tell if a person is trustworthy or not as well, I always have. I can tell I have no reason not to trust you. I promise that you can feel the same way." He gave a partial bow.

[fearless]

Gavin looked to his eyes, he felt safe with this strange male. "I couldn't take advantage of your kindness," he told him softly.

[Anelir]

He tilted his head to the side. "But? Please do, you seem like a good person, it isn't fair for you to be unhappy when I can give you a reason to give up that unhappiness."

[fearless]

Gavin blushed a bit, "Thank you," he told him softly. "I'm just...scared he will get violent..."
