@gentleinfluence told ivan // if you love me, let me go. // panic at the disco lyric starters + accepting !
“ i... i can’t. ”
he should have known better. they should have known better. this relationship was never sustainable, it would have always ended at some point. could they really believe that their opposing worlds would allow them to get married? even if they chose to elope, it would only be a matter of time until they were found and forced to face the consequences. as foolish as ivan could be though, he imagined that... he would rather die by her side than ever be a part from her. still, a new threat challenged the bond of their relationship.
“ we can’t give up now. maybe... if you testify against your family, you could get immunity. they’ll put you in witsec.. hopefully together... we could... ” his voice drops down, hands rubbing over each other anxiously before stilling again and shoving them into his jacket pockets instead. “ have the life we’ve always wanted. it won’t be perfect, but... did we really expect it would be? ”
whether she chose to or not, ivan would still be on that stand tomorrow morning. he would still take that oath to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. he only hoped she would choose to stay and face the music with him rather than run off and hide, forcing him to watch them hunt for her.
