"I'll be with you now. I know it's not easy and it's a little complicated but simple and normal is so boring." James never did normal, that was too simple. He had too much fun with the world being the fucked up mess that it was and he was never going to be perfect but at least he could get over himself for two seconds and just love Hartley. Like he should have all that time ago. Like he owed him.

"This must be the best day of your life, huh? Me, the handsomest man you know, finally admitting his feelings and loving you. You lucky bastard." What? James being full of himself? Never! What an impossible idea.
