until i see you again

Niccolo couldn’t explain it. He couldn’t accept his feelings for her at first. They were strong, way stronger than he had ever felt for anyone or anything in his entire life. She was an eldian soldier; risking her life on the daily and making it back before dinner. They could never be together the way he wanted, the way he dreamt about. But he would lay awake at night, the moonlight streaming in through his window and casting light on the empty space in his bed he wished was occupied by her. He felt a dam break in his chest whenever she lit up at the food he presented her, turning away quickly enough she couldn’t catch his face going through the five million stages of love sickness. It was too much. And yet...in the midst of a brewing war, sasha and niccolo find peace(or: sasha and niccolo say goodbye)
