[hands him the book]

[flops down next to Hakuren and pages through it until he finds a straightforwardly romantic one and reads, in a low, even voice]

Before I loved you, love, nothing was my own:
I wavered through the streets, among
Objects:
Nothing mattered or had a name:
The world was made of air, which waited.

[IS ALREADY RED]

[listening quietly, leaning]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[finishes it up, obviously embarrassed]

You don't think it's embarrassing??

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[still leaning, obviously not embarrassed]

... no?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

But it's really-- [gestures vaguely!]

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

Really--?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Who can write stuff like this, isn't that embarrassing? It's really private!

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

Maybe he just wanted to be able to share those feelings. I think it's rather nice.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[thinking about this, leaning on]

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

Do you really not want to read this one?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

I like hearing you read it, though, even if it's weird.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[smiles a bit at that] Really?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Stupid, anyone would like hearing their boyfriend say that stuff, especially the sexy ones . . .

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

... should I pick another one, then?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[grabbing another snack] C'mon~

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[flips through it for a moment, then settles:]

The light wraps you in its mortal flame.
Abstracted pale mourner, standing that way
against the old propellers of the twighlight
that revolves around you.

Speechless, my friend,
alone in the loneliness of this hour of the dead
and filled with the lives of fire,
pure heir of the ruined day.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Mmhhhddnngg twon.

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[swallows]

I didn't get that one.

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

Let me finish it?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Oh, I thought it was over! [listens]

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[continues reading it, voice quiet]

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

[leans on and listens, relaxed, listening more to his voice than the words]

[a-holy-oak.livejournal.com]

[when finished, pauses for a moment]

Should I read another?

[halfcocked.livejournal.com]

Huh? Yeah, yeah . . . [leans in close to Hakuren's face, though]
