Summary
Lohen slowly lifted his head.
Illuga stood there, battered, apologizing to him with that same infuriating steadiness, red eyes burning with concern instead of fear, and for the first time in his life, Lohen looked at someone and felt the terrifying certainty that he did not want to look away.
‘Why does he matter?’ The thought struck him hard enough to steal his breath, because suddenly the sight of Illuga standing there felt unbearably important, like losing him would carve something catastrophic through his ribs.
His chest existed and emotion crashed into him so violently he almost staggered. His knees nearly buckled beneath the force of it, one trembling hand still pressed over the frantic rhythm in his chest as if he could contain the avalanche happening inside him. The emptiness that had haunted him his entire life fractured all at once.
Warmth.
Curiosity.
Wonder.
Happiness.
A dizzying, unbearable fullness spread through his body until he thought he might collapse from it.
