[Gil pulls in a choppy, stammered breath, not daring or wanting to let Oz go, flush to his ears and stunned and smitten. For the moment, his fears and complications decimated, all he's got when he looks at Oz is awe and love.]

I KNOW I REPLIED TO THIS SOB I AM SORRY

[jackrabbits]

[He just wanted to see what his expression was so he could tease him, but then Oz saw Gil's face and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed himself]

. . . I must have really given you a hard time, didn't I?

IT'S OKAY I DIDN'T WANT TO FUSS I LOVE YOU!!1

[likeawritingdesk]

[SO AFLUSTER. SO GIDDY]

H-hard... always! But being in love with you is the only thing that's easy!

YOU'RE ALLOWED TO FUSS AT ME ALWAYS!!!!!!!

[jackrabbits]

[o wait wat]

Easy? But I've ended up putting you through a lot . . .

;o;

[likeawritingdesk]

As if that's anything new from the moment we met. . .

[jackrabbits]

And you're still okay with it?

[likeawritingdesk]

W... what? What do you mean?

[With-- you giving me a hard time? ???]

[jackrabbits]

I'm hard to deal with, but I know you're used to that so I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about everything else. The past, who I am, everything that's happened so far...

I know you're ready to give up everything for me because I'm your master so I definitely trust that you'll follow me no matter what. But I want Gil to be able to choose what HE wants for his own reasons. I shouldn't take that away from you.

[he bites his lip, flushing-- he can hardly believe this is happening, every bit of him is still reeling.]

Now more than I ever have, I love you and belong to you. Not because you're my master. Because of everything you showed me and proved to me and gave me, everything we've lived together. You've saved me over and over. Every choice I make I make it as I belong to you, whether you claim me or not. I know how you are, and you deserve...

If you asked me to leave everyone behind but you, I wouldn't even believe it was you asking me. You've never been like that.

You're perfect, Oz. It's more-- do you really want me, with my past, who I am, and everything I've done-- everything I want to keep doing?

[sometimes you are unfair, GILBERT NIGHTRAY]

[jackrabbits]

[//////////]

Of course I do!

[likeawritingdesk]

...Y-- you don't even know all of it!! I haven't told you -- like a coward-- I thought, it wasn't worth concerning you, what do you mean of course!!

[jackrabbits]

It doesn't matter. You can't change my mind.

[likeawritingdesk]

. . .

[he only manages to unwrap his arms from around Oz's back by cupping Oz's face in both his hands.]

Oz-- Oz. You're what I want. You. You're everything to me. I want you to feel loved with all your heart and soul and know it's yours forever and nothing will take it away, nothing will get between us ever again, Oz. I love you!

[jackrabbits]

Gil . . . I just want you to be happy.

[ahhhhhh. ahhhhhh. he's just staring at Gil's face, obviously now starting to feel overwhelmed by emotions]

But nothing will make me happier if your happiness includes us staying together. I love you, too.

[likeawritingdesk]

[OZ LOVES ME TOO

you can see him flash redder, his breath leave him, like he's been physically impacted by hearing it]

It always will. Always. I'm yours and yours forever.

[jackrabbits]

[just gonna wrap his arms around Gil's waist]

What would you do if I said I would be yours and yours forever as well?

[likeawritingdesk]

. . . I'd. . . live happily.

[jackrabbits]

Well, I can definitely say it.

[pause]

But I might get in trouble if I forget about Alice.

[likeawritingdesk]

[h-- he laughs, a small sputter]

I -- I know, Oz. No one watches you more than I do, I can tell when you're in love. I thought -- I was certain. That Alice was the only one you loved that way.

[jackrabbits]

Then if you're watching me, what do you see now?

[looking straight at you c:]

[likeawritingdesk]

I...

I.

That you're beautiful.

[jackrabbits]

[BOPS HIS NOSE]

Gil, focus!

[likeawritingdesk]

How can I see anything other than that when I look at you!
