For a long moment Bedivere was silent, trying to think even as being so close to Kenzie threatened to overwhelm him. How could he continue on knowing all the ways in which he could fail her? Was love enough? But then, it was the cowards way out, leaving her because it would be hard. Giving up before even really trying to be the man that she deserved. The man she needed him to be. He licked his lips and took a few deep breaths, pushing down on the pain. Pushing it away and stemming the flow of tears, slow as they were to come.
"Bloody hell... I'm such a coward," he said softly. He then raised his head up and wiped the wetness on his face away, looking at her again. "I love you, Kenzie. I don't think I can ever be worthy enough for you, but... I can try." His thumb began to rub over her knuckles before he sighed and shook his head. "Though Merlin knows you should just say no and give up on me, leaving you like that, taking the coward's way out because I couldn't handle facing the truth of what he said. Fucking Slytherin..." He heaved another sigh, so unsure of what he was saying, unsure of if he could do this, of whether or not this was the right move to make. The love and passion was there, but... he was so worried of whether it would be enough. What if he really ruined Kenzie? Frightening thoughts, those.
