"Even though you know that much, you still don't get it?" Thomas sighed, clearly disheartened. But Rafayel remained clueless.
"Yeah," he replied, waiting for Thomas's answer.
"It looks like I'll have to say it directly. The one I love more than anyone in this world… is you."
A heavy silence fell between them after those words.
"Whaaat!?"
Rafayel screamed.
What!? What does that even mean!? But Thomas, didn't he call me 'disgustinf' back then? I thought he hated me because of that…
"B-but at that time… when I disguised my self and secretly go to the knight order dormitory, you said 'disgusting' to someone who looks just like me. So I thought… I was hated too…" Rafayel stammered, feeling overwhelmed.
Thomas gave a strained smile and pulled them into a warm embrace.
