His lower lip quivered, he eyes tearing up. “Ciaran.. I wanted you.. and at the time, y-you didn’t ——- You didn’t want me..” He wanted to take the step forward, reach out for him, and just hold him in his arms but he knows the other would step back. “I-I fucking regret what I did, Ciaran.. P-please don’t think that I don’t love you, because I do. I’m so fucking in love with you and the thought of not having you rips me in fucking two. Please don’t leave me, d-don’t let me go..” The tears were real, slowly falling from his eyes and making trails down his cheeks as he stared down at the boy that honestly would always have his heart.
”It meant nothing while you mean everything. Don’t do this thing that I know your going to say. Don’t say those words or anything close to them, because I know you want me just as much as I want you and it won’t change. There is a part of you that will always be mine, just like there are pieces of me that are yours and only yours. I want it to be all of me, but I haven’t been all of anyone’s for a long long fucking time and it’s fucking scary watching myself fall.. I-I don’t fall. B-but I want to fall for you.. I am, and hard. Just don’t leave me like I know you want to.”
[ ◐ ] ;; "You always say that when you fuck up, Daniel. You only say it when you fuck up, when you know that I should leave." Ciaran didn't have the strength to hold himself together and snap at the same time his voice fell in a broken whisper; nearly cracking on the sound of his name. He wanted to step forward, he wanted to thread his fingers into his stupid fucking hair and pull it; he wanted to mold their mouths together and grip his lower lip between his teeth and pull it; he wanted to reach into his chest, wrap his hands around his still beating heart and pull it right out. He wanted it to be his and it wasn't. No matter how many times Daniel said those words, Ciaran knew: Truth be told, he was never his. "I'm a fucking idiot," he repeated, louder now; stepping backwards even though Daniel didn't step forward. "I'm a bloody fuckin' idiot because I love you and I let myself believe that was enough; I let myself think that love was the same thing as trust and I trusted you. I trusted you and I never should have."
