Endrance knew he had made a big mistake when he uttered those words after trading with Haseo. The Adept Rogue had stayed extremely quiet, moreso than usual, and did not invite Endrance back for the rest of the day. In fact, he had logged off a bit later, Atoli questioning him beforehand.
He didn't answer, and just went to check his email and sleep.
Endrance didn't understand why it had bothered Haseo, but it was still something he felt guilty about. He loved Haseo, more than anything in the world. Haseo was the one who made him feel needed; the one who brought him out of his depression.
When Haseo logged back on, Endrance immediately sent him a Short Mail.
"Haseo…whatever I have done to upset you, I apologize for…I had no idea…"
Haseo frowned when he read it. He wasn't upset, really, just a little shocked. Endrance had admitted his love for him…hadn't he? Maybe it was just Endrance's way of speaking again? Oh, dammit, of course he was looking too deep into it.
'The more we trade like this, the more I love you, Haseo.'
That was what started it all. Haseo wanted a few of Endrance's Healing Serums, so he traded Gudo Oil for it. Only to get the Blade Brandier proclaiming his love. The only reason it had bothered him so much is because he had never been told that he was loved, especially not by another man.
Over the internet, of all places.
After a moment's contemplation, Haseo thought it best to invite Endrance to a cloudy field where they could talk in private.
Huh, what would be a good area…?
Delta: Pursuing Obsessive Love…
At his computer, Ryou sighed. This was, quite possibly, one of the most embarrassing things he'd ever done, but it had to happen.
If he didn't do it now, he'd never be able to tell Endrance how he felt.
