"What If..."

Ignis · 07-20-2020, 08:32 PM

It was needless to say...Ignis didn't know how to feel. He didn't know what to think. He wanted to be happy that his best friend had found someone but...he also felt like he couldn't quite accept that. He loved him. Corvus was supposed to be his to love...but maybe he'd been too late in confessing his feelings. His words hung in the air for what felt like an eternity before Corvus answered him. "I mean.. I guess? I don't know... we haven't really... decided anything..." Slowly, Ig's gaze rose towards Corvus' face but he couldn't quite look him in the eyes. He could smell her on him...and he fought the anger that started to rise, pushing it down with the hope he had. He didn't want the pain to show...but it was getting harder by the minute to keep it under control. He had confessed his love for him...admitted to the one person he cared for most in the world...it wasn't too late...it couldn't be. Corvus would accept him, right? As more than a friend? He was just...confused. Yeah, that was it. Corvus was as confused as Ignis had been, but if he was able to admit his love, then Corvus should be able to as well, right? Corvus' words trailed off, and Ignis remained hopeful still that the next words would be "I love you too." But instead..."I didn't know you felt..." Surely the words he wanted to hear would come...?

"I've missed you," The hope kept growing in his chest. And he felt himself grasping to the words and the high hopes he had that Corvus loved him back just the same. Maybe even more. He took a hesitant step forward, a mixture of hope and desperation in his eyes. "I've missed you too," That much was obvious, wasn't it? So much in fact that he made sure he would be the one to cross paths with him at the raid...and he loved him too much to hurt him, so he had pulled his punches. "I'm really sorry I was a dick at the raid. I think I just... I missed you, and seeing you like that... it was a lot. Not seeing you all the time really sucks." He nodded in understanding. Or...perhaps it was just the desperation clawing to the surface of his mind. "It did suck! I wanted to visit you but I figured with the tension between my pack and yours, I mean...I didn't want your pack to think I was coming around to spy or something. But that's over and done with now, that means we can be together...spend more time together. We...we wouldn't have to miss each other anymore." Please...
