Of course that's why. [This smile will never die.] Come here, let me kiss it. I want to taste forgiveness.

[thirtybits]

Oh, shut up! I shouldn't have shown you if you're just going to make fun of me! [You know, like he actually enjoys despite the protesting. Like all his favourite people do (except Jesus, Jesus is just too nice to tease anyone).

He vigorously combs his hair back into place with his fingers.]

[depicted]

No, you can't! [He grabs Judas's hands to stop him, still laughing.] You have to let me have just a touch of absolution.

[Bullying Judas is the best game.]

[thirtybits]

No, you can have my indulgences if you want something like that, go away!!

[He tries to wrench his hands away, swatting at Dorian's.]

[depicted]

[Dorian does let him go, but he answers,] But they're not half as much fun to kiss.

[thirtybits]

[Caught off-guard, Judas keeps his head down to hide the faint colour that rises. Better still, he gives Dorian a small shove.]

Sucks to be you, I guess!

[depicted]

Ah, if only more sucking were involved.

[thirtybits]

..........

[Judas gapes for a moment, forgetting everything else.]

You're an awful man.

[depicted]

[innocently] A 'guilty' one, might you say?

[thirtybits]

Definitely. And I definitely won't be 'forgiven' if I listen to anything you say.

[depicted]

It's a little late now for you to take that 'warning.'

[thirtybits]

No, I still have a chance, I can stay away from your worse ideas.

[depicted]

I have no idea what you mean. When have I ever incited you to evil? Ever?

[thirtybits]

Your existence itself, of course.

And I think I recall something about reveling in my status as a terrible sinner that I don't quite remember.

[depicted]

Oh, those two things. Well. [He leans his head on Judas's shoulder.] They're both reliant on you and I continuing to exist. Can't be something I want that much, then.

[thirtybits]

You don't want me to exist? That's pretty rude.

[But there's a soft laugh, and Judas strokes Dorian's hair.]

[depicted]

[He shuts his eyes. This doesn't stop him from being mouthy.]

I want you to have what you want, which is basically courtesy. So it can't be rude.

[thirtybits]

Do you mean to imply I don't value my life? I don't think you know me very well. I'm surprised at you, Dorian!

[depicted]

Shame on me. We'll just have to spend more time together so I can get to know you better.

[thirtybits]

At least you can admit your mistake. But you're already cursed with spending too much time with me. It's a real shame, sorry for being Judas.

[He curls his fingers in Dorian's hair and leans back against him.]

[depicted]

You're welcome for being Dorian Gray.

[Dorian takes up Judas's free hand to kiss it.] I meant my offer about the acid. Burn up the writing and Dr Banner will never need to know that you're a complete idiot who thinks being forgiven is a terrible thing.
