Outside the Danger Room, 7th Period

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair was tired and sore and looking a little worse for wear. He sported a bandage on his forehead and several small cuts and bruises were visible on his face, neck and hands. His cast on the other hand was looking suspiciously shiny and white, as Aziraphale had kindly fixed that for him.

Also, he was without his backpack, but that might be hard to tell since he was sitting down on the floor just outside the danger shop door, the stop-sign shaped with the word "THINK" laying in front of him. It wasn't his best sign, but he felt really guilty about flashing a sign about not killing demons after last night.

"You like me." Blair smiled. "You really like me."

[demonbelthazor]

"Don't let it go to your head," Bel said, but he managed a grin.

Blair grinned back, very pleased with Bel's smile. "We're all okay, man."

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, good think Phale was able to sense something was happening to you guys yesterday," Bel said. "And that I just happened to be there with him."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Really good thing, man. Dr. Wilson and I didn't really have time to call for help." Blair paused a moment.

"So why were you hanging out with Azzy yesterday?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel hesitated. He wasn't sure he wanted to confess what he'd done and risk disallusioning Blair. "Just had some things I wanted to talk to him about," he said evasively.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"What sort of things?" Blair asked, leaning forward.

Ha, like Bel was going to get off that easily.

[demonbelthazor]

"Stuff," Bel said, fluttering his hands.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair stared at his hands. "Butterfly stuff?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Yes," Bel said. "Butterfly stuff. Using, uh, butterflies for prophecy. The patterns. On their wings. Yes."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Are you lying to me?" Blair asked quietly.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel frowned guiltily. "Yeah. It was just...personal."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Then just tell me that, man. I think we're good enough friends that we shouldn't lie to each other."

"We're also good enough friends that you can talk to me." Blair nodded. "About anything. You know that, right? I've always been a good listener to you."

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, but there may be some things you really don't wanna hear," Bel said. Yeah, how does I almost killed a man two nights ago grab you?

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair figured this was a conversation he needed to have on his feet and he took a moment to stand before replying. "Bel, you're my friend and I care about you. Whatever things are going on with you, I want to hear."

[demonbelthazor]

"No, you don't," Bel said. "Trust me."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

See, this was the good thing about standing up. Blair reached forward and thumped Bel on what he hoped was not a hugely injured part of his arm.

"Trust me, man. Think of the stuff we've been through and understand that I'm still your friend. Nothing you say is going to change that."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel shook his head wearily. "You don't know how much I can disappoint you," he said. "You don't want to know."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I'm about this close to hugging the stuffing out of you, man. We're both achy today so it's not a good idea, but you're not leaving me a choice."

Despite what he threatened, Blair leaned against the wall behind him. "If you make a mistake, you make a mistake. We all do, man. I think I'm more disappointed that you don't trust me enough to talk about this."

[demonbelthazor]

"A lot of people have put their faith in me," Bel said. "How am I suppose to admit that I don't deserve it?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"You deserve it." Blair said seriously, leaning forward to place a hand on Bel's arm. "You proved that last night, man."

[demonbelthazor]

"I almost attacked 'Phale," Bel said. "I could've killed Wilson. Or you."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure if you noticed, but Azzy almost attacked you too. Do you not trust him anymore?"

"You didn't kill them. You stopped. You changed back. You gotta trust yourself, man. But until you're ready to do that...I'll trust you." Blair figured that this was an emotional enough moment for it, and he tried to give Bel a hug. One of those manly 'look we just won a touchdown or bought a new car' hugs.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel flinched. He couldn't help it, he knew he didn't deserve Blair's blind trust. He returned the hug and awkwardly patted Blair on the back. "Thanks, man," he said.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair, encouraged by the response, hugged Bel tightly and then stepped back, grinning. "So...you ready to talk?"
