[ Oh no, no, no, no, he didn't mean to reduce her to tears! They keep coming, streaming down her face like a river would flow. He internally panics; had he said something wrong? Was he too forward with his feelings that he caused for her to become distraught? Was this not the kind of relationship that she wanted? His head buzzed with doubts of his own actions, because it's likely he made a big mistake with even trying to be forward. This nervous energy griped at him still, because she had yet to speak again after looking at him so awestruck. It's when Elisabeth speaks to him again that he releases the breath that he previously began to hold after the words flowed out of his mouth impulsively.
...He felt so happy, and yet so melancholic about this revelation as well. That meant he'd relieved her of her own doubts and break her own heart in the same night. While staring at her, his brows knit up and then he realizes that he has something handy on him. When she sits down, he mirrors her, sitting slowly down back into his seat in the study. He'd never think she'd love him, he's pretty average – not athletic and doesn't do anything too special. His looks aren't too special either, white hair and red eyes – who would ever love someone who looked so sickly? He was undesirable, and he'd never want to pass off whatever was apart of him onto his child. He would have been comfortable with being able to watch Elisabeth with someone more healthier, perhaps even far better off too. They weren't rich either, pretty average in that way too. Having her all to himself seemed selfish and if things occurred like in the Neinth Reality, he'd regret these actions but now, with her consent she'd allow it..
März reaches into his back pocket for a handkerchief that he often had handy, then offers it across the table toward Elisabeth now. ] I thought the same, ah, but...please use this to dry your tears.
[ He briefly adverts his gaze from her. ] In all honesty, I've been wanting to confess the same, but...I could never work up the courage to. [ His red eyes return, meeting again with her own pair now.] I guess you're far more courageous than me? Hahah.
[ He's a little taken aback by her words, which causes for the other to shake his head. ] ...Reject you? Of course I wouldn't, that's...I would never. I'm so happy to know this too Elisabeth. [ He swallows uncomfortably now, it was now or never. And despite this distance that will come between them, he knows he will come for her again. She doesn't have to worry that he'll die and come back as some emo undead man because of the wonders of technology, they'll still be able to interact.]
E-Elisabeth, I...[ His smile slowly turns into a frown, with brows furrowed downward. Looks like their studying is long forgotten. ] also have something to confess...
[ He lapses into a silence, gently breathing now and trying to figure out how to tell her this. It'll crush her for sure, and he'd never want to hurt Elisabeth. He never wanted to intentionally hurt her, especially with how happy and relieved she looks now. The way her green eyes shine as she looks at him, the smile that's been drawn out. The way she beams up toward him, he can see the happiness practically brimming from her. He had to spit it out, now or never, because he'd never want to disappear one day – and one up her, to make her to continue to wait.
Just as like she confessed to him, he confesses to her now, with sadness seen in his eyes. The tears begin to pool in the corners of his eyes, but he's trying to keep himself calm and collected like usual. But even telling himself that everything is going to be alright would be a lie right? It'd would be kind of dramatic, kind of like how that "prince" of their class and his "princesses" acted. But if Elisabeth can work up the courage to tell him, then he could inform her of the truth at least. ]
I...I had wanted to tell you later, but it would be unfair to you. Mother and I will be moving a few towns over after this school year ends, because of how expensive it is to live here. [Breathe, breathe, he has to remember to, and he continues to look at her face. ] So we...I won't be attending the same school year. H-However, we....we can still keep in contact with each other in other ways though...!!
[ His tears begin to drip down his cheeks while saying this. ]
tHIS IS FINE HAHAHHA GOSH also im dying rn
