Respecting it and dying a little inside everyday that he was left alone after they'd gone, or brutalizing them and doing it himself. No. Matthew would manipulate them all to do what he wanted, but he wouldn't slaughter them himself. His hands would stay clean. Technically.
Matthew shook his head at the comment and squatted down to start to pick Joslin up. The motion was stilled as Blaine cuts himself off and Matt lifts his head to look at the blonde properly.
"If I was that hard, I would have turned you both without a single thought. And I would have laughed at your despair."
There wasn't a spiteful note in it all and Matthew stood up smoothly, taking Joslin with him. He looked at Joslin then down at Blaine.
"Yes. It's selfish. I'm selfish. But that's part of what love is. The selfish need to keep the people that bring out the best in you. Maybe I should apologize for that... I won't. Open the door, I need to take him to the drawing room and clean his face before he wakes back up."
