Duo stopped as she came to him growling. Looking away. "I don't need you to try and be nice. If you have to TRY then it isn't real princess. If you have to TRY then it isn't what you really want to do." He reverted to calm Duo and took the smack to his face. "Because...even when I didn't...they would take one look at me...and yelll monster. How do you think it feels to a three year old who only wants to play to hear another kid or their parents yelling you are a monster?" He looked away. He shook his head. "No princess...you were giving me pity." He said. Staying rigid. He looked away. "I already have no one princess. I am used to it." He shoved his hands in his pockets. He listened to her scold him. "I don't miss my mommy's bossom." He lashed out and launched onto her wrist before she could walk away. He held it tightly almost bruisingly but made no other movements. "I am selfish...I will not lie about that princess. I am selfish because...I don't want to share my life with anyone. Sure...you got power princess...but yours is inside. Yours...people gonna come to terms with because they don't got to see it every time they look at you." He jerked her towards him by her wrist. Holding onto the small of her back with his other hand. THeir forms crushed together. He looked into her eyes. He let down the shields that held his eyes. Letting her see the hollow, lonely, and destroyed soul within. "I want their hatred princess...it has become a drug. When you are little...until you are about seven or eight birth defects like mine can be considrered cute. When you start getting older and they become more pronounced....the words and way the world looks at you turns...darker." he said in a soft voice. "The gemini is a monster princess. He is a monster and there is no two ways around that." Their faces were inches away from each other. "I needed nice and caring when I was younger. Now...now I accept my fate princess. I am acting this way towards you because you deserve so much better than a monster and at times happy go lucky man." He looked into her eyes. THe mask flying back up. "You are a horrible person but not in the way you think. You are a horrible person because you are worth so much and yet you are wasting time on a man with two faces." He held her strongly but gently. "I don't need anyone there for me anymore princess. That would be you." He looked at her. "You are right. I don't know what is best for you princess...but knowing who I am I know myself is far from the best you could do." He looked away. "If I was truly to go all out rebeling against my father we would not be having this conversation. I know my worth as my father and all those near hin have reminded me daily." He looked into her eyes. "I push you away so strongly princess because I know if you father has his way...he will find some excuse to separate us. I know...you are the type of person who if I let you in...I'd hurt anyone and everyone who tried to take that away. No matter who they were." He lowered his lips and kissed her. A tender, loving and passionate kiss. Pulling back. "I push you away out of reflex princess. The calm me...this me...likes that you came by yourself. WIthout guards. The wild Duo is not rational princess. He isn't. The gemini is all rash words and actions." He laid their foreheads together. "I push you away because I already find myself strongly attracted to you on so many levels. So if I push you away...I can protect you from myself." He slowly let her go after another kiss. This one lingering and powerful. Moving away from her and began to climb the hedge. Sitting on top of it looking down at her. "As for watching what I say...I'm afraid when Gemini is out...that is so far from my vocabulary it isn't funny."
