"What If..."

Ignis moved away from him after a moment of hesitation, something that relieved him as much as it hurt him. What if he hadn't pulled away? How could he begin to make that choice, between Ignis - who he'd known since he was a kid - and Twig? Somehow Ignis made the decision easier, though he didn't have long to wait before things shifted rapidly. He watched carefully as his friend moved away from him, speaking a single sentence. 'Not enough to be with me.' Corvus felt his chest sink, almost enough to make him regret saying anything at all. Maybe things would've been less painful if he'd just said nothing at all about his own feelings,  but.. it was too late to take it back now.

Before he could react, Ignis lunged at him. Corvus had half a second to stiffen, trying to spread his limbs to keep his balance as Ignis charged him. He only had long enough to steady himself, certainly not enough to try to avoid his suddenly parted jaws. He tried to jerk away, but to no avail, and he felt Ignis bearing down on his neck as he shoved roughly into him. A growl suddenly ripped from his throat, not from anger necessarily, but.. surprise. He felt betrayed. What the hell was wrong with Ignis? Corvus didn't understand why he was reacting the way he way he was. Although he didn't want to hurt Ignis, he likewise was intent on standing his ground. He kicked off hard with his back legs, trying to shove his full weight into Ignis, hoping that he could somehow lift himself and loop a limb over Ignis's shoulder and get him to release his bite.
