Summary: "I could make you love me."
“I could make you love me,” Ezekiel Starsmore said. Robert Altman-Kaplan sighed softly, smoothing Zeke’s chestnut hair back. “I could,” the empath repeated.
“But you won’t,” Bobby pointed out, combing his fingers gently through Zeke’s hair. “That way lies madness.”
“You don’t love anyone,” the younger man accused.
“I know. And you’ve known this from the start.”
“I could make you feel it.”
“But you won’t,” the reality warper repeated. “It’s not a bad thing, you know. Love is dangerous. Your sister sold her soul for love. My father’s been waging a one man intergalactic war most of my life for love. Can you imagine what I could do? What atrocities I could commit?”
Zeke raised his head, regarding Bobby sadly.
“I’m sorry,” Bobby murmured.
“I know.”
