[ love? they've said a lot of crazy things to each other this past week, but that single word stops his heart. he knows about love, he's felt love before, he knows how powerful it is and how it can change everything. but it's been a long, long, long, long time since he's had it directed at him, in a non-mocking capacity.
he thinks back to what he asked hwylryn, which really wasn't that long ago:
"So if I said we could meet again tomorrow, you'd fall in love with me?"
"If you meant it. If it meant something to you."
at the time, he had viewed hwylryn as who would love everyone and everything with little thought put into it. but they had come to an understanding, and ish had come to see him that night as a fellow entity who was dictated by their emotions entirely, freely. a fondness had turned into more from a simple wish.
ish swallows, ducking but not entirely hiding against hwylryn. his next words are a whisper, as warm as his cheeks are. ]
I want to say it back to you properly, so please wait for me. [ not now, it's too much right now. not because he doesn't feel it, but because when he says it, he wants it to be done in full declaration and no fear.
the whisper in his ear is doing nothing for his rabbit beating heart, on top of everything else.
no subject

a breath in and again he repeats- ]
I'm all yours.
