cw: emotional manipulation mention

[It could so easily be a terrible thing, what Set says to him. Liem can hear the faint whisper of things another man might have said — had said in the past — to a discordantly similar tune, when the god agrees, when he says that he too is one such person.

Only I could love something like you, he might have told him. Only I could understand.

But despite his wickedness and his flaws, Set’s love has never made Liem feel worse. It is valuable, that he simply meets Liem where he is — by force, if he must. Even now, in his rage and his despair, he finds it in himself to just exist with Liem, solid and warm next to him in the quiet of his bedroom.

Set, [Liem says, his breath muffled slightly against the curve of Set’s neck.] If I gave you something of mine to keep, would you wear it?
