“huh h he said h h h h h h he’d…k k kill y y you I if n needed…”
"Ah-"
His eyes widened, lips parting as he went perfectly still
he sniffled, now completely breaking down at the thought of losing him
“I I I I d d don’t…I c can’t l l lose you…I d don’t c care i I if your t the o opposing k kings son!”
"....."
This was-a lot for him-his breathing picked up a bit-
"H-Hey um-y-you don't think....I-I could be allowed on the castle grounds...d-do you....?"
“I d don’t t think so…n n not b by yourself a anyway”
"O-Oh...."
He looked away, a teeny bit disappointed
“I k know we b barely know e each other…”
“B but g god will I do anything to p protect you”
“e e erza?”
"H-Hm?"
He looked at him, startled out of his thoughts
