Albus/Gellert - blurring lines


The edges of Albus' mind blur, his heart thumps and he can't think straight. He wants to make the right decisions, but he can't.

What's the point? Where does being good ever get us?

Gellert's words just run through his head and he wants to forget them but he can't. He's transfixed with the passion that flows along with his easy words, the desolation the sentence started with and the craziness it ended with.

Just do this for me. We can rule the world together, Albus!

And then it goes from craziness to normalcy to excitement, and it's as if he's spoken every emotion in twenty-two words. It's as if Gellert has put him under a spell – slipped a potion in his drink, except he hasn't.

This is Albus when he feels, and he hates how it puts cloth over his eyes. He can't see anything, there is no clarity, there is nothing.

Only Gellert.
