5055034455: 2x08 (working out the details)
From: [personal profile] 5055034455
[If he weren't suddenly so keen on covering his own ass and keeping the details of this whole mess on the down low, what Effie just said would have made him laugh. Yeah, he's gonna go running to Steph as soon as this is all over, and everything will be sunshine and rainbows.

Instead, it's the bitterness that shines through, and Saul rolls his eyes.]


I'm saying what I'm saying because I don't think it's fair to you. I should've realized that sooner. But what I mean isn't this, this conversation we're having — I mean all of this, from the being here at all to the falling in love and actually having someone love me back.

[Two people, actually.

He huffs a breath out of his nose and looks off to the side.]


That's the part that's not easy. So don't try to act like this means I never cared about you — I do. A lot. Whether you believe me or not is up to you, but you're not doing anyone any favors by convincing yourself otherwise.

5055034455: 3x09 (rawr.)
From: [personal profile] 5055034455
[This is not a conversation he wants to have. Not now, not ever, and especially not with her.

He doesn't think he should be angry about any of this. That's her territory right now, but he is; he's pissed off that she's apparently brushed off the part where he said he's in love with her, too. Doesn't that count for anything?]


I never said anything about a decision!

[Saul knows he doesn't have to say anything, though. He knows how obvious it is. What he doesn't know is why he's pushing this.]

5055034455: 3x02 (yeah about that...)
From: [personal profile] 5055034455
[It's so, so tempting to say yes. It'd be so easy. One syllable, and Effie might not hate him as much as she wanted to a few seconds ago, and neither of them would have to be alone.

But —

Saul sighs, lifts a hand to his forehead, pushes his hair back and away. He knows as surely as he's known anything that if it ever came down to it, he'd choose Stephanie every time. So really, he can say he hasn't made a decision, but that's bullshit.]


I'm sorry, Eff. I'm not being fair to you.

5055034455: 5x11 (alaska.)
From: [personal profile] 5055034455
[Saul doesn't think there's a snowball's chance in hell for he and Steph to ever become anything more than whatever it is they are now, but she told him she loved him only a few hours ago and he believes her.

Hope really is dangerous.

He opens his mouth to say something else — anything else, anything to convince her that he really didn't mean to hurt her the way he has — but instead he stands, smoothing down his shirt.]


Yeah. I'll see you around.

[And if that's it, if that's really it, he's just going to see himself out.]
