( will there ever be a more sobering phrase, than "i've loved you since"?
his shoulders droop slightly, the seriousness of the situation hitting like a slap to the face. because the truth is he actually is the worst, stringing rinne along for the ride, prodding for what little affection he could absorb through the bruises on his fingers. it's never exactly been fair to him, he knows, and neither has the way he's bit back, knowing rinne can't retaliate without real consequences.
his chest aches, and there's that familiar fear, the fear that reminds him that he should pull back. that he should drop from the group, and go at it alone, before he ends up ruining things beyond repair. but it's too late. it's too late to stop what's already spun to life, the chapters of this story in another world being written this very moment. he's wringing out his end to see a future for karteria, and a future for amagi rinne. and how will he keep him safe, if he's not close by? a dilemma for sure. )
... Amagi-kun. I might want to kiss you again if you're not careful, or further still.
( where should he look? the floor? the floor seems like a safe bet. his hands and their claws, still lingering with warmth. )
But it's true that you're the only one I trust. You, and no one else. For all the stories you've shared with me, and all the pain you've tolerated and will have to tolerate going forward in knowing me. For having Imprinted on you so deeply.
( for making you love me that much. )
I'm the one who owes you an apology. So, forgive me. For all that's fleeting in this world, I shouldn't be messing with you as much, especially with how much I enjoy your company.
