[attr="class","matias"]dusk looms, soon to approach as they conclude their training for the day. exhaustion has taken most of the squad but like usual, two resist the temptation to simply hit the hay. it seems to have become routine at this point and yet matias still asks:

"you up for a few drinks?"

[attr="class","matias"]with a short chuckle, matias leads them over to a large campfire that's surrounded by various tents. a cooler's already there, so he slumps to the ground, then reaches over to pull out a bottle before twisting the cap open.

he extends it to king with a grin.

"you were sloppy in training today."

[attr="class","matias"]matias laughs, shaking his head.

"probably. but not today."

they don't usually talk, at least not in the way healthy people do, but matias chalks the next question up as just being cautious about his team.

"something on your mind?"

the ensuing chuckle he gives is half-assed beneath the follow up question. king didn't... he wasn't good at expressing emotions other than anger. he'd stew for weeks, if you hurt his feelings; he was even more wary of showing happiness, or doubt.

[attr="class","matias"]"sage? we've been friends even before the silphs. she's the closest thing i have to family besides them."

matias isn't particularly good at expressing emotions either. he shrugs most of them off, choosing to remain stubborn as if defiance somehow made them not matter.

"so i think the world of her."

with a sip, he turns to look at king.

"why?"

closest thing to family, huh? so would that make her, like, his little sister? weren't there stigmas about this sort of thing?
[break][break]
sighing, he wraps his hands around the base of the bottle, both thumb mindlessly rubbing against its condensation.
[break][break]

[attr="class","matias"]the confession isn't much of a confession — still, a half-scoff, half-chuckle escapes him.

he should've known matias had seen through it. king wore his heart on his sleeve; though, that was usually anger, not much else.[break][break]

still, he needed him to understand.
[break][break]
because he himself didn't.
[break][break]
"i mean, like —— really like 'er."
[break][break]
he turns to matias, almost red in the cheeks from what he was saying. what he was admitting.

[attr="class","matias"]it's almost always anger, so when it's not, it's noticeable. what kind of squadmate would he have been if he hadn't noticed? what kind of friend?

but that doesn't change the fact that he's been dreading this conversation since he first noticed. a part of him had hoped it'd never come.

"i'll ask you the same thing."

a sip.

"what do you think of her?"

"sure you do."

maybe a more specific question will help coax it out of king.

"why do you think you love her?"

"i dun' know."
[break][break]
he says it again. it's automatic; deflective. his mind searches for the reason, even as his words betray him. finally...
[break][break]
"she's kind. beautiful. smart. good at cookin'. honest 'n no nonsense. just... a lot of things, i guess."[break][break]
he didn't have the courage to say she smelled nice. had a smile that lit up the storm clouds in his hearts, or a gaze so piercing that he felt as if his walls were crumbling beneath them.
[break][break]
no, he wasn't that brave. not at all.
