I'll heal. And we'll talk it out.

No relationship's perfect.

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

You don't have t'be.

I don't think I'm a good person either.

We can work on that together.

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

You're wonderful. I don't think I've even begun to earn the sunshine you've brought into my life. You say I don't deserve you like it's a bad thing, but you're undeniably too good for me. I'm tryin' t'be good enough for you, every single day, and I love doin' it 'cause I always get surprised 'bout the little things that I'll discover about you or how you'll make me smile or the new questions you'll have.

I love you. An' I don't deserve you, but I'm holdin' onto you and somehow we've found our way to each other in this world. I love you. I love you and you don't have t'do anythin' to earn that. You're already more than enough.

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

I love you.

[He holds him close and adjusts so that they can both lay down comfortably, with Callisto on top of his chest.]

I love you so much.

You're beautiful and precious.

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

Yeah, that's right.

Same goes for your scars and where weathering has shown on your skin. It's doin' what it's supposed to. That's tellin' you where a deep hurt has been and you've been learnin' t'manage and heal from it. And that's beautiful 'cause it's a marker of where you've been and who you're becomin'. Just like how the moon's scars show where it's been and what it's becomin'.

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

You know how the moon's got all those craters and scars on its face?

And we only ever see parts of it with each cycle?

Your skin looks like moonlight. It's soft and silvery, but your chest and where your scars are? That's the moon. Do you think the moon's ugly for the way it's been weathered?

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

And those are part of your story. If you don't want me talkin' 'bout them, that's okay. I know that can be sensitive. I think you look amazin' regardless.

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

It's soft and shimmerin', beautiful. It's got all the character of the moon too. Real handsome sight t'behold.

Your skin's even got that silver to it too.

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

[He whistles, and it's low and drawn out.]

Has anyone ever told you that your skin's like moonlight?

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

Nah, I'm not goin' to judge you for what happened there. Same as you're not judgin' me for mine. You're safe, and I'll look away if that's what you want.

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

[He chuckles, shaking his head as he pulls on his shirt.]

[He's blushing a bit as he comes back over and sits down the edge of the bed, fully clothed.]

My turn to watch.

[He teases and kisses Callisto's cheek.]

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

[He sets him down.]

Yeah, just like that.

[He gets his pjs from the dresser and takes off his clothes from the day, getting comfortable.]

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

Yeah, I can do that.

[He picks him up bridal style and holds him gently as he carries him to the bedroom.]

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

Nah, it's just for my sanity's sake. Everything feels a little...chaotic after what happened and I just want things t'feel like they're in order.

You ready t'go get changed?

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

It's jes' a quick cleanup of the apartment t'make sure things're in order.

[He finishes brushing his teeth and spits it out in the sink, rinsing of his tooth brush and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand before washing his hands.]

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

Mm...breakfast...help you with yer textin'...some cuddles an' a bit of sprucin'...

[It's a little hard to make out his words as he brushes his teeth.]

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.

[silent-and-deadly]

Love you too, sweetness.

Allan!!!

You’re home!

-Callisto

Hey sweetness. Good to see you.
