@shynoct -but thanks. It felt like shit having to think about being away from you when you're the only thing on my head lately, you damn little nerd. I just can't live without you... I love you too.
@shynoct > kidβ The shield inevitably came closer to wrap his arms around him, holding Noctis without intention to separate βI don't want to let you go anyway that would have been too difficult for meβ He sighed between grunting βSorry for... Uhg making you think on this too much, >
@shynoct .He kicks one of the chairs around the campfire and spins around like an angry dog "What do you want me to do uh?β seemed exhausted but always annoyed, exhaling.
@shynoct > my king, I have my faith in youβ He furrowed skin between his eyebrows. "Noctis"
He rubbed his palms against his face, frustrated he can't stay in such a small space. He gets up and leaves the tent but continues speaking from the outside.
βThis is not only difficult for you.>
@shynoct >
take care of you. I can't screw that up, you can't choose me over your future wife no matter how much you love me.β It hurts, every word and his eyes get wet but he avoids eye contact to hide how much it hurts. "Iβm sorry... M-maybe we should... "
Clenching his jaw >
@shynoct >
He smiles and puts a hand on Nocβts hair to ruffle it "Well, I'll be here for you until you decide that you want this to be just a friendship. As your shield, I cannot fail to do my duty, protect you and think about what is best for you. Although you are not a child anymore.β
@shynoct Noctis's engagement sounds like too much emotional weight that he's not sure how to carry. Gladio knows there is no point in thinking of being a first choice, duty comes first. Even if it hurts in his big heart.
"I guess the great fate likes to play with your feelings, uh" >
@shynoct at him fondly, that need for Noctis to protect everyone and never be alone.
"Thank you, it's good to know that I'll keep my job intact" He brushed a few strands of hair from his forehead "Do you feel that way too?" fast question, curious and selfish.
@shynoct "Well what did you expect? It's not like dating a girl and asking her out on dates. It is not so easy to express this when you have been my friend all my life and you are my king. When you are going to marry someone else. Sounds like shit β
he exhaled quite annoyed but looked >
@shynoct >Noct I like being with you more than usual, I love you like a stupid crush that I don't know if I want to... get out of all this. Sorry for making our friendship weird. But I think friends don't kiss like we do andβ I think the big ones are going to fire me if they find out this
@shynoct > shoulder. He is not sure if he can see him directly at this point.
βYou are right, you are not ten years old. I guess I can be clear enough with you. I like you more than I should and it's allowed, more than like ... You know what I'm talking about, >
