[Squall's fingers slide back through his hair and Nyx's breath hitches softly, trying to slow the flow of tears, to lessen it so he can at least answer his lover. He curls closer against him, presses in as tight as he can, silvered eyes meeting steel and his lips are still quivering with barely restrained sobs when he presses another kiss to his lips.]

I never told- [Another unsteady breath but he tries to hold Squall's gaze, to not hide from him or that vow he makes. Something he might have tried to laugh off or lessen the impact of if he weren't already so upset. He wants to make it clear, here and now, that he's not trying to hide from that. Not... not now.] Anyone... I didn't tell anyone I loved how much they meant to me.

I don't want to miss that chance again. Muja oui, geddah. I love you, too.
