"I would live for you" hits a lot harder than "I would die for you" imo. you're so important to me that I would pick myself up out of my grave for you. you give me a kind of hope that I thought I couldn't feel anymore. a future with you in it is a future I want to be there for. dying for you is easy, living for you is making the choice every day to get up and keep going
#keep thinking about a Henry who was ready to die during the siege of Suchdol#a Henry who had made his peace that few of them were going to make it out#one who had made peace with his feelings for Capon that were more than that of a brother’s#but that nothing would ever come of it and he was alright with that#and then Hans kisses him. and that peace shatters.#and some of his anger and confusion at the kiss is because it ruins that peace.#how dare Hans upset that plan with the promise of something sweeter than death?#Henry was okay with death#but now he’s being offered life and it ruins everything. until it doesn’t.#(this is partly why I really like a Henry with no romantic experience beyond Bianca)#(someone who had put that side of himself away. who has accepted that death is the only thing for him.)#anyways. something something gay sex so good it helps you break a siege.#henry of skalitz
