corbeau was blind as a zubat and it’s not just because of his glasses
- adder loves corbeau so much and dedicates so much to him (his time his care his loyalty his life) that it’s only logical to him that he shouldn’t burden the man with his feelings, not when it’s “obvious” they’re unrequited. so he keeps it to himself, being the friend and trusted partner corbeau desperately needs even when he wants more
- corbeau, on his part, underestimated how much self control adder has. adder has seen him at his worse and at his most vulnerable so he had thought they had an understanding to tell the other anything that needs to be said. corbeau trusts adder and adder trusts him; why wouldn’t the man confess if he had actual feelings for him? hiding such feelings for years and years despite how close they are, despite having a bond unlike anyone else: how was he suppose to know that’s something anyone could endure for so long?
- so basically:
corbeau and his gray ace/aro ass: but if adder loves me so much why wouldn’t he just confess? why keep it a secret at all??
adder: would rather die than inconvenience corbeau in any way at the expense of his own happiness
