"What If..."

He was torn. Torn between the love he felt for Corvus and the hurt that this information brought him. He was too late in claiming his best friend's heart. Someone else had taken it first. He wasn't sure how to feel about this. But even when the tears started streaming down Corvus' face, Ignis couldn't help but tear his gaze away and stare at the ground. Like a light switch, his emotions shut off. He couldn't think about anything. His mind shut down and it was like everything fell away like a blanket falling off. He loved him...and though Corvus said he didn't know that he felt that way about him, Ignis still didn't know what to say. He didn't know the full extent of how he felt either until recently...but he felt like he was too late.

"I really do love you, Ignis," He felt himself stiffen when Corvus touched him. He breathed in his scent for a moment, eyes closing against the warm touch that he felt. He steeled himself from leaning in though, but he knew that if Corvus had done this a moment prior to their conversation, he wouldn't have hesitated at all.

Maybe he hadn't thought this through. He knew that they were in different packs, but he had been under the illusion that they'd be able to make it work if...well...if they did. Hell, he would have left Winterfell to be with him if he had to. He'd move heaven and earth if Corvus asked him...but there was someone else in the picture. Why hadn't he known about her before? Did Corvus not want to bother him with that information? If he really cared about her, why did he not come running to tell him the news? His brows furrowed as so many different things intruded in his mind, but...eventually, it all fell away until it all went quiet. Thoughtless.

"But not enough to be with me." He finally stated.

He felt his muscles tense. His heart pounding painfully against his chest. The blood roaring in his ears. And like thunder, his mind exploded with the sudden feeling of wanting to hurt him. Before he knew it, Ignis was in motion. His jaws opened up as he aimed to bite and grip the side of Corvus' neck, his left foreleg coming up as he sought to bring it over Corvus' shoulder along with shoving his weight into him in an effort to throw him to the ground. His mind wasn't his own at the moment. All he could feel was pain and rage. He wanted the one he loved to hurt as much as he was hurting.
