[Gepard really did reveal his whole hand that night in the shack— he’s sweet, his body warm where they’re pressed together, and he wants Sampo to stay. Gepard ought to be sending him off the moment that he’s done with him, getting rid of him so that no one would find out that he was ever there. To preserve his good reputation as an upstanding and incorruptible man.]
[And Sampo shouldn’t want to stay, either. He’s a busy man with all sorts of deals to make and business to conduct, and he can’t do that if he’s attached at the hip to a guard captain. If he was really smart, he would be using this whole situation to blackmail Gepard into doing what he wants. There’s a good likelihood that even if Sampo did reveal that he’s the one who compromised Gepard, there would be enough pressure from both the government and Gepard’s father to hush up the whole sordid affair that it wouldn’t be made public. Gepard ruined, Sampo’s reputation still largely intact.]
[But he doesn’t want to burn this for a little blackmail. He should, but…]
I shouldn’t stay, someone might come looking for you. And we wouldn’t want that.
[Ah, hell with it. He kisses Gepard again, because he’s there.]
