“Don’t you realize what I am, Barty? You’re helping them get rid of everyone who’s like me, you’re helping them get rid of me-!”
He hadn’t intended for this to happen, but somehow Dirk didn’t understand as well as he’d hoped he would. They had been seeing each other for so long, he’d acquainted himself with this gentle man’s wants and needs, had begun to properly provide all he could for him just as he did for everyone who belonged to him, he had settled Dirk Cresswell firmly into his heart and now he was looking at him like he was a monster. He’d been looked at that way before of course, without the mask, but never by Dirk. Dirk had never looked at him before with such fear and anger in his eyes.
“No,” he answered immediately, shaking his head and stepping towards the smaller man. His brows were furrowed as he settled his hands on Dirk’s shoulders and pulled him closer. Dirk was reluctant but let it happen, refused to meet his eyes. “I would never let anything happen to you, Dirk,” he explained, taking a small breath and he was still speaking in the soothing tone of the mask but he didn’t feel so much like he was wearing it with Dirk anymore as he admitted, “I would sooner face Voldemort’s punishment, myself-”
“I don’t care.”
Dirk yanked himself away from Barty, out of his hold, leaving the younger man blinking after him and there was a weight on his chest as Dirk finished with, “I never want to see you again.”
