It was a burst of sudden emotion. Brimming to the surface, M21 was unsure how to deal with this feeling, this strong urge to speak. His heart leapt inside of him, and he spoke before gathering his words to properly convey his feelings.
"Guys, I..." his mouth hung open, yet the words he meant to say were trapped in his throat.
Tao and Takeo fixed their gazes on him, identical expressions of curiosity. "Yes?" Tao prompted.
M21 grimaced. Perhaps it was for the best that he kept his thoughts to himself. Yet the sudden and impulsive need to speak up encouraged him once more. "I...I really have come to…" the word that he desired to say remained elusive, so he settled for another term. "I care for you guys." His face grew warm from embarrassment, and he glanced away. The desire to remove himself from the situation was strong, yet his feet remained rooted to the ground.
He forced himself to look up, and it was Tao's smile that eased his discomfort. "Yeah, we love you too." Takeo approached and embraced him, and for once, M21 could not understand why he had been so fearful of voicing his true feelings in the first place.
A/N: Yeah, so I wanted to write something about these boys. Don't worry NoblesseSeira, I'm alright :)
On another note, did anyone see the crunchyroll trailer for the Noblesse anime and Tower of God!? It's happening people! We are getting an anime adaptation! I am so excited! :D
