special way to confess your love to someone, ikenna. really >_>;
*Ikenna promptly takes a step back as his treasured, loving friend approaches, that smile on his lips increasing just a bit. Hollow, empty, but warm. Relieved. Everything really can be all right now, can't it? Nia is alive, alive, right before his eyes. He hasn't destroyed him. He can still fix this.*
I was so... certain that I'd never see you again. That I'd... killed you, too. I'm... so glad, Nia. I'm so glad I can keep you safe. I... it was a mistake to let myself... love you, wasn't it? But I... can fix it now. I can. *He casts that loving, beautiful man another of those hollow smiles, before drawing his hand up once more, dragging his focus to that uncapped syringe.* Strange, isn't it? It's so fucking hard to kill the 'soulfire-vampire', but... just this will be enough. Something so small... Ironic, isn't it?
