He's not ashamed of himself; he won't be, no matter what's in his past. He's not ashamed of Yuki; he'd die first. But it always gets so complicated when people know. And Yuki had insisted, and Simon had made him a promise. Nobody needs to know, Simon. It's just the two of us, right? It's special.]
I'm not desperate. Far from it. If you were hoping to distract yourself this evening, you'll have to look elsewhere.
Whatever you're hiding is no concern of mine. [And yet... people do know. It's obvious, right there in public. And what is Simon going to do about it?]
