    Summary

    Lohen falling in love with Varka wasn't something he had ever seen coming.

    Coughing flowers up because the man in question didn't love him back? Even less so.

    If there was one thing he knew for certain, it was that no one could know about the cecilias in his lungs, and certainly not Varka. Sneak out, fight monsters, avoid the reason behind the flowers... it seemed easy.

    Somehow, he managed to mess up something that should have been so simple. In hindsight... he should have known better.

    Nothing was ever easy when Varka was concerned.

    Summary

    "Told you," he croaked out with strength he gathered from Varka’s presence.

    Varka's hand found his cheek immediately, thumb brushing carefully and lightly over his jaw. "What?"

    "You said—" Lohen swallowed, throat raw. "’Wait here’."

    Varka asks. Lohen listens. Both of them suffer emotionally as a result.

    Summary

    Varka sat down on a stool beside the cot and brought his hand to Lohen's forehead. “Mhm, you're still a little warm.”

    “How long have I been out?” 

    “Nearly nine days. I wouldn't say ‘out' of it necessarily, but you've somehow managed to sabotage yourself even whilst being out of it.” Varka glanced at the patterns the stained glass was forming on Lohen's lap, then pointedly at the cuffs that dangled by the cot railings. “Barbara was forced to give you numerous sedatives just so you wouldn't hurt yourself.”

    “Oh.”

    Varka stayed quiet for an uncomfortably long time after that. Eventually, he swallowed dryly and opened his mouth. “Lohen.”

    “I don't want to talk about it, Varka.”

     

    Or, Lohen grieves.

    Summary

    Varka smiled down at Lohen sadly. “Then why do you keep such tight constraints on yourself? Tell me, Lohen, for I cannot fathom how someone as strong as you sees themselves as… deserving of punishment despite having shown incredible strength against an enemy that I can swear on my honor that neither I could win against.” 

    “It’s different,” Lohen began, but his words felt hollow. He repeated, “It’s different.”

    “How?”

    Lohen could feel the same frustration clawing at his skin when his parents would berate him for going out and coming back bloody. It was something that was wired innately into his being. He needed a stimulus that proved that he wasn’t someone who could be easily stepped over. 

    “How?” Varka asked again.

    Lohen opened his mouth, and it felt as though his tongue had gone dry. He sniffled before turning his head away. “It just is, I don’t know.”

    “If you don’t know, then will you let me make the decision for you?” Varka asked.
