I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it
Koh was famous for stealing faces, but what about hearts?
When you saw him and his ever-shifting face, you couldn't help but get excited. You were sad though, that you couldn't show your excitement unless you wanted to lose your face. And you didn't want to lose your face, of course.
You hid your true feelings for the Face Stealer, but you couldn't avoid those feelings.
You were still the person in love with the Face Stealer, the spirit who had no true face of his own. It must've been so sad, to never know what you really look like...
But today, you were determined to tell Koh how you truly felt for him. You entered his creepy little cave, nervous but not for the reason most people would've been.
I wonder if anyone had ever fallen in love with Koh the Face Stealer before I did...
"(Y/n)," he said, his voice deep and reassuring.
You held back your smile, as much as it pained you to do so. "I'm so happy to see you, Koh," you told him instead.
"As am I."
"But..I wanted to tell you something. If that's okay."
"Of course, anything you need."
"It's been on my mind for a while, I just...I'm not entirely sure how to say it..."
"It's okay, no need to be afraid."
"It's just...you make me so happy. I wish I could show you how happy you make me. And...I've been having feelings for you..."
"Oh, really?"
"I understand if you don't feel the same way, Koh, but I-"
"Of course I feel the same way! (Y/n), how could you even consider me not loving you?"
"Eh? What? You- you love me?"
"Well of course! How could I not? You're the first person to ever treat me like a person rather thsn a monster. You're the first person who didn't fear me."
"You...love me."
"Yes," he says. "And is it safe to say you love me, too?"
"Yes. Yes, I love you too."
"I don't want to steal your face. I rather enjoy seeing it."
You smiled. "I'm glad to hear that. I-I like seeing your face too. All of them."
He returned your smile, wearing a lovely androgynous face. "I wish I could kiss you."
"Wh-why can't you?"
He shrugged. "I suppose I could..."
Without hesitation, you placed your hands on his face and kissed him.
I can't feel my face when I'm with you, but I love it.
