This time on As the Pyramids Turn:
Horus sees Set again, and learns that Set and Loki slept together! What will happen now?
stardust enigma: Set: *sprawled across the couch like a lazy kitty, supremely comfortable*
HawkHorus: Horus: *sees him* .... Hello, Set.
stardust enigma: Set: *grins up at him* Horus. *sits up a little, freeing part of the couch* Come.
HawkHorus: Horus: *hesitates for a moment, then joins him on the couch*
stardust enigma: Set: *sprawls back across Horus' lap, comfy* Hey.
HawkHorus: Horus: *sprawled on* *raises eyebrow slightly, but lets him* Hey.
stardust enigma: Set: I talked to loki. *rolls over on his back, very animal-set in the way he moves, and just barely purring*
HawkHorus: Horus: *feigning disinterest* Did you.
stardust enigma: Set: Mm-hmm. *yawns* So about that threesome.
HawkHorus: Horus: *tenses* Set, please stop....
stardust enigma: Set: *smirks at him, playful* No.
HawkHorus: Horus: *sighs and looks away*
stardust enigma: Set: *laughs* What? *sits up a little* How can you possibly object to being in the middle of a threesome of two men who love you? *kisses his cheek, with a light nuzzle*
HawkHorus: Horus: *gently pushes him away* *pained* Set, please don't....
stardust enigma: Set: Horus. *takes his chin in a hand, forcing him to hold his gaze* Stop avoiding this.
HawkHorus: Horus: It's not avoiding if it's something that's -never going to happen-. *gets up and moves a few steps away, arms wrapped tightly around himself, not looking at Set*
stardust enigma: Set: Horus. Come back here. *stands and wraps his arms around Horus from behind, hugging and trapping him at the same time* Yes. It is. You're the only one fighting it.
HawkHorus: Horus: *attempts to pull away* Please, Set....
stardust enigma: Set: No. Not until you tell me why you're afraid of this. You don't want to hurt me? Loki? You won't. I swear it. *softly kisses the side of Horus' neck, still holding him firmly*
HawkHorus: Horus: *quietly* I've hurt you both enough already. Please let go...
stardust enigma: Set: Then why are you so determined to keep hurting both of us, and yourself as well? I want this, and I know Loki does...
stardust enigma: Set: If there's a reason you don't want it, tell me, and I'll apologize and leave you be. But if it's only that you're afraid of hurting us, well... you're hurting us both more by fighting. *nuzzles gently* Take a few deep breaths.
HawkHorus: Horus: *stands stiffly in Set's arms, not sure whether to believe him, and positive that anything that -could- happen he'd run anyway since he's so good at that*
stardust enigma: Set: *softly nips the back of his neck* Breathe.
HawkHorus: Horus: *gasps a little at the nip, but is still tense and ....scared? ...that he'll manage to destroy everything again. Cause he's dumb like that. *mun is smacked**
stardust enigma: Set: *sighs* I don't like you being all tense like this. And I know Loki must hate it. He's not used to your being cold to him, I wouldn't think. *just picks Horus up and carries him back to the couch, holding him in his lap* Relax.
HawkHorus: Horus: *mun isn't sure if he remembers how, some days* *makes another attempt to pull away from Set*
stardust enigma: Set: *sighs* Horus, please. If you don't want to hurt me any more, just relax a little and listen. *starts massaging his back, fingers neat and skilled at what he does*
HawkHorus: Horus: *listens, but the relaxing is debatable*
stardust enigma: Set: *just massages for awhile* I'm not quite sure how to say this...
stardust enigma: Set: But I've been meaning to apologize, for anything I said slighting Loki's abilities in bed. *smirks a little, gently but firmly pulling Horus back against him, kissing the side of his head with a smile*
HawkHorus: Horus: .....*blinkblink*
stardust enigma: Set: At this point, I'm really not sure which of us seduced the other...
HawkHorus: Horus: .... *mun pokes the bird, who is mentally flatlining*
stardust enigma: Set: *smirks lightly* But we are absolutely going to have a threesome. *gives Horus' ear a light nibble*
stardust enigma: Set: Horus... *frowns* Please.
HawkHorus: Horus: *gasps a little at the nibble, but otherwise is just .... I dunno. I don't understand him, he just lives in my head.*
stardust enigma: Set: Horus... Say something. Please.
HawkHorus: Horus: *quietly* ... What do you want me to say?
stardust enigma: Set: *sad frown* At least that ... I don't know. That I haven't fouled things up worse.
HawkHorus: Horus: *harsh laugh* You...? -I'm- the one who's always wrecking things. *nearly says something else, but stops*
stardust enigma: Set: No. You're not. You were happy before I came. You and Loki were both happy. I quarreled with you and hurt you both that way, and then I seduced you and hurt you both worse, and then I slept with Loki and I'm afraid that I've only hurt you again because of it.
stardust enigma: Set: If I could, I'd leave, so that you and Loki could be together, and happy, like you were before I came. But then you'd guilt yourself over it, and you'd both be miserable again.
HawkHorus: Horus: *is still all mentally withdrawn and making his mun flail* *quietly, half to himself, barely listening to Set at the moment* Maybe you'd both be better off if you just stayed together and I let you alone. That way I couldn't hurt either of you any more.
stardust enigma: Set: No. That's only the same problem again. Loki thought the same thing. He wanted to leave so that you and I could be together. It would break Loki if you left him. He needs you.
HawkHorus: Horus: *just sits there and makes with the withdrawing and the self-loathing and the making his mun flail*
stardust enigma: Set: Horus. *shakes him lightly* Horus. Listen to me. *forces Horus' chin up* Look at me.
HawkHorus: Horus: *looks up, but only because Set's holding his chin*
stardust enigma: Set: I need you. Loki needs you. We need each other. Alright? No one can leave. All three of us. We need each other.
HawkHorus: Horus: *just keeps looking at him, biting his lip* *may be a little wibbly, and could use a hug right about now, hint hint*
stardust enigma: Set: Don't leave us. Please. *kisses his forehead, then pulls him close*
HawkHorus: Horus: *is stiff and tense for a moment then collapses against Set, clinging and sniffling*
stardust enigma: Set: *hugs him tight, gently massaging his back*
HawkHorus: Horus: *clings and cries and generally breaks down all over Set*
stardust enigma: Set: *just holds him* It's all right. *rubs his back* It's all right. I love you, you know. *smiles*
HawkHorus: Horus: *sniffles* *muffled by Set's shoulder* ...loveyoutoo.
stardust enigma: Set: *smiles* Thank you. *kisses his hair*
stardust enigma: Set: No talk of leaving, all right?
HawkHorus: Horus: *nods*
stardust enigma: Set: Good. *smiles* It'd be a pain to have to track you down.
HawkHorus: Horus: *laugh that half sounds like he's still crying* *continues clinging*
stardust enigma: Set: *continues holding him, cuddling lightly, happy to just hold him without Horus freaking out*
HawkHorus: Horus: *....is also glad to be held* *and this has been our daily breakdown, thank you, we'll be here all week*
stardust enigma: Set: Have you at least been sleeping?
HawkHorus: Horus: *nods slightly* ...Some. *looks up at Set* Has someone not been?
stardust enigma: Set: *shakes his head* Don't worry about it. Here. Lie down. *gently lays him down on the couch, making it wide enough so they can both lay there easily, and holds him, cuddling softly* Okay?
HawkHorus: Horus: *...lets him* *quietly* Okay. *still clinging tightly*
stardust enigma: Set: *smiles, nuzzling sweetly* Rest.
HawkHorus: Horus: *almost resists, then relaxes (OMG) against Set, resting his head on Set's chest*
stardust enigma: Set: *smiles, kissing his cheek* I love you.
HawkHorus: Horus: *sighs softly and snuggles* I love you, too.
stardust enigma: Set: *kisses him chastely on the lips, smiling happily*
HawkHorus: Horus: *kisses back and actually manages a smile*
stardust enigma: Set: *notices* You're smiling.
HawkHorus: Horus: *looks up* Hmm?
stardust enigma: Set: You're smiling.
HawkHorus: Horus: *looks at him confused* ....So?
stardust enigma: Set: I like it when you smile. *kisses him again*
HawkHorus: Horus: *kisses back and cuddles, smiling a little more*
stardust enigma: Set: *dozes slightly, snuggling*
HawkHorus: Horus: *yawns and snuggles closer, dozing off*
stardust enigma: Set: *totally with the cute sleep-cuddlage*
