    ________________

    “Maybe not” Arthur interrupts John to keep him from despairing. “But that doesn’t mean Kayne gets to dictate how we think about any of this. We destroyed that stone. We defeated him. And we saved everything that matters to us.”

     

    Hm, John hums, not quite convinced yet. Arthur refuses to let it dictate their thoughts any longer. He traces the scar’s shape with John now, slow and steady. As if cutting the throat with their tenderness.

     
    “This scar….it’s here because I love you” he reminds John of its nuance. The day he inflicted it on himself, desperate to save him from the king. Their promise that if it really came down to it, they’d rather die together than be split apart. And that is just the thing.

     
    Kayne tried to drive a wedge between them. Again and again. Hoping to leave his mark on him. Hoping to make a difference about that choice.
    About their love for each other.
     

    Never.

    Summary

    John catches himself picking at the frayed edge of one of the pillows. "John?" Arthur asks, settling back and letting John stare up at the ceiling. There's a spider web in one of the corners. John wonders where it went. "I'm going back to bed then. It's nice to finally sleep in a bed. I can't remember the last time--"

    Can you hold me?

    OR::
    they hold hands yay! yaaay!

    Summary

    He's cut off by a small high pitched mew. Followed by a few more, equally high pitched mews. John rounds the dumpster, speechless. Arthur is murmuring and shushing, huddled over something. A box of shuffling, squeaking shapes. A box of-

    "Cats? Two, no, three small cats."

    "Kittens, John."
    __________________________
    What if Ourthur got to keep a box of kittens? As a treat? A break from the horrors?

    Summary

    How you could possibly think I regret marrying you, I have no fucking clue.

    Arthur opens his mouth, but John corrects himself before he gets the chance to.

    No, correction. I do. You have it wired into every fiber of your being that you are not good enough, that you do not deserve the slightest decency or humanity. I've seen it again and again and again. Ever since I first met you. And it continues to drive me damn near insane when such a beautiful creature as yourself denies such things.

    Arthur shudders. He could be crying.

    I don't think you understand how much I love you. How devoted I am to you. When I said 'yes, I will marry you' I meant all of you. Every single inch of flawed, imperfect perfection that calls himself Arthur Lester. I married humanity on that train. And I don't plan to divorce. Period.

    =

    Arthur's self hatred strikes once again, but John is there to pick up the pieces and glue Arthur back together.

    Like he always is.
