“I’ve missed you too. So much.” In a long list of things he should have said, it was his heart that spoke up first. It was what got him into this mess in the first place, but he had been doing far too much thinking to even fight it. There was an urge to be sarcastic, spiteful, push him back so he couldn’t get close again but with what they both have been through… he knew being cold wasn’t a façade he could hold onto for long.
Sage knew his presence made Nikolaus uncomfortable. He knew the exact thoughts that were going through his head. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." He wanted to do something to prove to the man in front of him that he wasn't the same person. Sage felt like he was being pulled into two different directions. "Sage look," Nikolaus started but didn't get to finish when Sage pulled him into a passionate kiss. "I can't pretend that I don't love you!" Sage said angrily when they finally pulled their bodies from each other. "I can't fucking do this anymore, I can't pretend that you're not here. It's killing me Niko. I know I fucked up. I know that no matter how much I say that I'm sorry it won't change things."
