[There isn't always anything good in just being 'okay.' At times there's a fine line between that, and barely keeping things together. For Zero, it has blurred more often than not. He cherishes every second he has with Yuuki, here. He never wants to leave her side, should he be able to help it. However all at once, those same seconds in her presence feel as though a blade is twisting deep into his stomach, and his heart pressing hard right up against his rib cage.
It hurts. It HURTS. And there isn't very much he can even do about it. There's only time. He's grown into a very patient person within the past year or so (Haven aside, even), but sometimes it's too much.]
It could go either way, I think.
[He finally replies after drawing away from Yona once more, as well.]
I briefly mentioned it to Hak upon his arrival. We're in the same homeroom. When he awoke, alarmed, 'Princess' was the first word from his mouth. I led him to where you were. I didn't describe very much to him, otherwise, though. Just that you were someone important to me, and that I promised to have you two reunited. That I knew where you were, in the first place.
[Long story short, to him, the fact that Hak doesn't remember isn't something that especially affects him. However he knows it's not the same in Yona's case.
He's silent for a few moments before continuing.]
Yuuki. . . One of the things she hates most in the world is when things are kept from her. She went over half her life having no memories of her past. So I. . . At first, when we arrived, I didn't say anything. She was very confused why I was treating her the way I was. [another stalled pause] The 'Zero' of her time is distant. It was a difficult time. Eventually I opened up about Haven to her. Although, there's still so much she doesn't know.
[His chest tightens again.] She knows I have feelings for her, but not to the extent. [a bit quieter] That she's the love of my life.
I know. . . if I told her more, it may put us even further apart, here. More so though I— our time differences, from home, is quite awhile. There are things I can't tell her, otherwise she would break. Or be angry with me. But at the same time, I know if she ever goes home, then returns with those new memories. . . something will also break.
. . . When that happened in Haven, she was infuriated with me because I knew all along what she was going to have to experience, and the heartbreak she would suffer from.
