[It hurts when Anders turns away like that. Justice wants to follow, wants to touch and cling until he can make sense of everything going on in his head, but clearly his touch is unwelcome now.
He looks down at his hands. He starts to rub them together, something to pour all the nervous energy into. He has to say something. He has to think. He doesn't know what to do.]
I need... I need time to consider how to proceed. This is not a situation I ever predicted encountering.
[That's understating it, but Justice doesn't know what else to say.
But the thought of Anders running away to sleep with someone else, with all those people sending him pictures... that sets Justice's teeth on edge. Is this how Anders feels?]
If... If you desire it, I shall not lay with anyone else before I give you an answer, if you do the same.
[After he says it, he doesn't know if it's the correct thing to say. What does one say when they're in the nebulous space when one has asked for a relationship and the other hasn't given a definitive response? Justice doesn't know. He hopes he hasn't done this too wrong.]
