Ah, Cor. He really is a piece of work :). On the one hand there's his craving for closeness and the burning wish to matter to somebody enough that they care about him and on the other hand the moment someone shows a shred of concern for him, he keeps pushing them away.
Yes. He's kind of like a cat, that way.
I love your Clarus (and admire his patience greatly) and the way he deals with Cor, especially when he's lashing out. That he allows Cor to set the boundaries for the way they spend their evening together in order to make him more comfortable. And swallowing Cor's stings instead of hitting back verbally. Clarus might not shout declarations of love from the top of the Citadel, but he keeps showing Cor. Even if Cor doesn't recognize it (or at least chooses not to recognize it. Seems to me almost as if he didn't know what to make of it and how to react to it, if he did in fact acknowledge it).
God, I wish I was as patient as Clarus is. I think one of the things I'm enjoying writing the most for this is just the relationship, and all of its complications, between Cor and Clarus.
