[The kiss ends much to fast for Sylvain. Now, more than ever, he wants to devour Felix whole. Or perhaps, he simply wants to be devoured. He doesn't want to think about the negativity dwelling within his chest, the desperation and the heartbreak there. He certainly doesn't want to think about his poor reputation, and how it even colored his relationship with his best friend.

It's all the more reason not to. If he were to use Felix for that, to hide from himself, then it would be no better than any other partner he'd had.]

It's okay. I know I have not set the best precedent. [He closes his eyes, wincing in the slightest.] Would you... hate me if I wanted to tell Dimitri myself? Only about how I felt, nothing more.
