I would LOVE a distraction right now. I'll send you my address.

[domainless]

Cool! Yeah, I can get over when you do.

Not exactly working. I'm a kept man these days :)

[domainless]

Oh no. No, you are not hiring an- an assassin to take you out.

[alwayskayaking]

[Sends over his address.]

Yeah? And you're happy with that? [He asks because he's concerned about Martin. Especially while he and Jon weren't exactly the best of friends at the moment. He knows Martin and that sometimes the other man will give too much of himself away for the sake of others.]

[compellingstatement]

It's not hiring someone.
It's ensuring I don't have to have you deal with me if I ever give in entirely to the Watcher.
Or if something like this happens.
I've had agreements like that before here.
The people they were with are gone now.

[domainless]

I mean... yeah. It's nice to feel taken care of.

[And to get to be with Jon. And to not have to worry about money. It's weird, but it's still nice.]

[domainless]

If you can survive into the bloody apocalypse without giving in to the Ceaseless Voyeur, then I'm not worried about it happening here.

And- what if they kill you and- and then everything gets fixed a few days later?

[alwayskayaking]

And he does that, he takes care of you? He's not too wrapped up in himself?

[compellingstatement]

Then I'll probably be resurrected after it ends.
I've already died here, Martin.
More than once.

[domainless]

Of course he does! Tim, he's not- He sometimes gets stuck in his head, but he's a good boyfriend. I promise.

[domainless]

I hate that you've been through enough that you can say that easily.

I don't want you to die, Jon.

[compellingstatement]

I know.
But I don't want to live like that.
I don't want to live without loving you.

[alwayskayaking]

Alright. I just worry that he might be taking advantage of you sometimes.

[domainless]

What? Trying to get an extra cup of tea?

[domainless]

I love you too. I do.

Just... don't do it recklessly, okay? You can't just throw your life away.

[compellingstatement]

All right.
I promise I'll check with you next time before trying something like this.
I just don't want you getting in trouble along with me if it comes to it.
You can remember you're more vulnerable than I am, right?

[domainless]

Thank you.

And hey, we- you and me together. That's the deal.

[compellingstatement]

You're getting a rotten deal.

[domainless]

Not if it's you.

I get to decide that for me, Jon.

[compellingstatement]

[Jon sighs to himself.]

Have I mentioned you're disgustingly romantic at times?

[domainless]

Might have come up.

You're welcome :)

[alwayskayaking]

That's not what I mean and you know it.

[domainless]

He's not. I mean, god, he saved my life back at home. He risked his own to do it.

[alwayskayaking]

One moment of heroism doesn't mean that he doesn't take advantage of you every other day. Not that I'm saying he takes advantage of you if you're saying he doesn't, but I just want you to keep that in mind should that ever change.

[domainless]

Look, i know you don't like him but... he's a good boyfriend. Really.
