Y--you know, don't you. . .

[jackrabbits]

I know a lot of things. Gil, you're really bad at keeping secrets.

[likeawritingdesk]

I never meant to keep anything secret from you! I thought it wasn't worth your concern, not now or ever, I never-- never meant, to disappoint you-- I -- Oz, I, for so long, so long, I've--

[he chokes off, taking a gulping suck of air]

[jackrabbits]

For so long, you've . . . ?

[you can see him freeze, mentally backpedal


what if I am blowing this out of proportion, don't have such delusions

[likeawritingdesk]

[I'M ALWAYS STUPID!!

WHAT GOULD WOULD IT POSSIBLY DO AT THIS POINT]

[likeawritingdesk]

I. . .

[he fists his hands, his voice cracking]

I'd do anything for you, Oz, I've always... whatever you do with that I will bow to, punishment or orders o-or-- as Oz, asking me-- I've always belonged to you, and loved--

[likeawritingdesk]

L-- loved... for so long.

I don't deserve-- to say that now-- if I've... been wrong...

[jackrabbits]

This is why you're stupid.

[jackrabbits]

[reaching to grab his hand, the newer one]

I've known that for a while. I was just waiting to see how long it would take for you to say it yourself.

[jackrabbits]

Even if you choose Break to be your master here, I know you'll still follow me.

[jackrabbits]

Even if you break my orders and get yourself hurt, like the time you got your head lopped off, I know you'll still listen to me.

[jackrabbits]

And even if Gil finds another person he loves, and they love him back . . . well.

[jackrabbits]

It's alright because you finally admitted that you loved me as well. Not out of orders or demands, but from yourself.

doooone

[jackrabbits]

It's alright if you makes choices. I want you to do that.

[grinning with UTMOST confidence]

But that love is the one thing I won't give up.

Re: doooone

[likeawritingdesk]

[Gil stands very, very still, his eyes wide in shock and mortification and panic and more shock. His hand twitches in Oz's, and by the time he's done it's practically shaking. His face is terribly red



and also abruptly crying]

Re: doooone

[likeawritingdesk]

[but he laughs, an awkward burst at first, but it spills out anyway--]

Y-- you...


All of that...

Oz... Oz, I didn't choose Break! We were matched on arrival, and God help us both it's kept him from signing up with lunatics who'd stab him just as soon as anything else, and my objectives, they don't suit you at all, I, God, and my head, I'm sorry, I don't know what else I can do but try to make this place safer because it's where we are now, it's where you'll live and I hardly know what to make of my own body anymore anyway, but when I fight it's like I have any kind of, bearings, and -- Nikolas, he -- I love you, Oz, I'm sorry, I didn't think --

[likeawritingdesk]

I didn't think...

I never thought...

[likeawritingdesk]

[nope back to babble]

I didn't, that's too many things, I disappointed you with, I don't want to disappoint you anymore. Y-- you knew.

How long have you known.

[jackrabbits]

[nooooooooo, I'm suppose to tease you into submission! SO WHY AM I SUDDENLY FEELING EMBARRASSED]

[jackrabbits]

[a-ahem, trying to mask the pink rising in his own face]

Did you know Nikolas told me that he loved you the very first day I arrived?

[likeawritingdesk]

.......................



Of course he did

[jackrabbits]

That silly fool. That's what happens when you don't sleep properly.

[likeawritingdesk]

H-he.

That. Idiot.

Y-- you didn't say anything--!
