"So you know how many times I think about how tiring it is talking to you?" Brandon mused out loud. " almost after every goddamn sentence. If I'm lucky, then after every third sentence we've exchanged. But there are, of course, countless times during the day where I have to talk to you."
He softly chuckled, "if I had to reach you, I would give it 9.5 on 10, not recommended to talk."
Killian blanched a bit. "Excuse me?"
"Oh yes," Brandon nodded his head, " the amount of times I wanted to say something about it, but I couldn't, the amount of times I have thought about it in my head. Do you know how difficult it is to negotiate something with you? I know I can't win, not when you have the physical power to make me stay here, so I know I would lose. The only thing that is negotiation, and you take that ability away. Would you rather I jump off the balcony for you?"
