[Varian may have stopped himself, but Jun's expression becomes more severe when Varian stops himself. He knows Varian enough to know exactly what he was going to finish that with. Varian may not want to make this about himself- but that's exactly the problem.]
... Let me finish that sentence for you. [He'll change his voice to sound just like Varian's, so Varian can hear what it sounds like:] "I don't know do something you might not be all on board for just for me when I don't deserve it."
[He'll let that hang in the air for a moment before he switches back to his own voice.]
Yes, I have a bad past. Yes, people have used me and some will probably try to use me again. But... if the people who want to use me, it's for my powers and my connection to the Holy Spirit. It's got nothing to do with sex or any of the stuff we do, so it'd take a lot for me to feel used in that manner. It'd take... frankly? Behaviors I don't think you're capable of.
[Because Varian is a good man and nothing like the horror stories of boyfriends he's read online.
He breathes out a little. He can tell Varian feels guilty, and he can tell that promise is a big deal. He feels bad hearing Varian immediately going into guilt mode. But... ]
...Var, if you want to keep that promise, I think you need to stop avoiding the root of the issue.
You keep trying to push my needs first because you don't believe you deserve your needs met. That's what this is about, isn't it?
