Trouble in paradise, Byakuran?

[Private to Byakuran]

If he hasn't come back yet, perhaps you need to reflect on why he left in the first place. What actions of yours forced him to run away? Were you too suffocating, too possessive, too untrusting? Or is the fault his?

((OOC: They really are. And I missed them so much~ Also, Mammon is giving out love advice. There's something wrong with this picture >_>))

Are you saying it's my fault? We've been so happy together until he suddenly avoided me. I'm positive I have done nothing wrong as a lover.

[OOC: Mammon might make good money from this new profession very soon. XD]

I'm saying that the possibility is there. It could be some small slight that you don't even realize happened. There is also the possibility he's avoiding you because there is something that he wishes to keep from you. Or that he wishes to protect you from something, though I doubt he is that selfless.

You know your lover better than anyone here. Why would he leave so suddenly without an explanation?

((OOC: Mammon, Byakuran's personal love guru. Gives out unfailing love advice at a whim XD))

I know he has something he wants to hide from me. And it's always something that troubles him. I am willing to have a civilized talk (without my hands on him) but he just has to start the chase game.

My guess? It's something that concerns either me or our relationship. Because he pointedly avoids only me.

And it's irritating.

[OOC: Because Byakuran pays nicely. LOL.]

Perhaps he just needs a moment to think without you there. As difficult as it is to accept such a thing, leaving to gather his thoughts may be the only way for him to deal with your overwhelming presence.

Because you see him for what he is far too well. That can be a frightening thing to someone who is used to being unreadable. As much as it irritates you, perhaps you need to think about what his feelings are on this. If the positions were reversed, if someone could read you so well that it seemed like they were in your thoughts but you didn't have the first idea about them, how would you feel?

((OOC: XD Yes, this is true. If it wasn't for the whole forcing Mammon to kill himself thing and forcing Yuni to sacrifice herself for him, he might actually like him instead of tolerate him >_>))

[Private to Mammon]

[donmillefiore]

I can always give him time if he asks nicely and reasonably.

...Being unreadable has its advantages but for me, perhaps I desire someone whom I can share everything with.

[OOC: Well, a lot of people have to tolerate Byakuran. Even those who like him. >_>]

[Private to Byakuran]

[needsmo_money]

Yes, but what reason does he have to believe you will allow such a thing when you insist on keeping him chained to you? How does that reassure someone that they need only ask? On top of which, he was released from an unescapeable prison to be put in another. Whether that is your intention or not, that may be how it appears to him. His first instinct would be to escape, as he attempted to with the Vendice.

But does he know that? Have you told him as such? Unlike myself, he cannot read minds.

((OOC: This is very true. Mammon thinks that his personality could use some work >_>))

[Private to Mammon]

[donmillefiore]

But isn't it necessary for lovers to trust each other first, hmm?

[OOC: To simplify it, he is just very, very spoilt. >>;;]

[Private to Byakuran]

[needsmo_money]

Everyone needs a reason to trust first though. Have you given him that?

[Private to Mammon]

[donmillefiore]

With everything I had to change and given up for him, I think that's enough showing of my attempt.

[Private to Byakuran]

[needsmo_money]

I'm not saying that you're not. But what about in his eyes? Does he think you're doing enough for his trust?
