I Deliberately Misinterpret The Nature Of An Agreement

Galahad probably didn't expect Magnus to come pounding on his door in the middle of the day when they agreed Magnus would try sleeping on his own, especially since Magnus decided pretty quickly that he wanted to sleep outside again (but on purpose because he prefers it, not because it feels like the only option that doesn't end with the walls closing in on him). But here Magnus is, anyway, in the middle of the day, knocking loud enough that he has to force himself to take a step back so he doesn't break the door down.

"Dude, it's me, I need you," he calls, just so Galahad knows for sure it's him, or whatever. "You're in there, right? Galahad?"

"Lady Emily Post wrote books of etiquette."

"The American president?" Galahad knows about George Washington only very obliquely, because of that one biography of Zachary Taylor he read before he realized he didn't enjoy biographies.

He looks a bit nonplussed. "Why?"

"No, etiquette is how you should kill them, to be polite."

Galahad is quiet. It sounds terrible -- he understands that death is different for the einherjar, and that it's important that Alex died nobly, that it's part of why they're able to be together in the afterlife, but he imagines Alex as a thrashing cat, destroying everything in rage and fear, and everyone watching their own deaths replayed in celebration, and it just feels bad.

He's quiet. "Do you want to marry him?"

"All right." He and Claudius have been dating for about four and a half months, but he chooses not to say so.

It makes sense that these are all things that don't matter to Magnus; it's just that none of them are why he wants to marry Claudius. He nods, though, since he does understand.

"Because it is something he couldn't have before and it matters to him to have it." He draws up his knees and gazes over at Claudius' vanity, with all his creams and serums. "It matters that it's a recognition. It tells people that he's important to me. That he is mine and I'm his. And because it's a sacrament that isn't supposed to be for us, because of who we are. He wants to have what God says we shouldn't. It's important to me because it's important to him."
