Time to take a ✨oneshot✨

Right?

🎶but if the world was ending you'd come over, right?🎶

Who was he kidding? What part of him thought it a good idea? To kiss him? For real? What had he expected him to do? Love him?

"Jonathan...." was all he'd said in response, soft and regretful.

🎶the sky'd be falling while I hold you tight🎶

He figured maybe the best thing would be to just get up and leave. Give him some space. It'd been his fault, after all. God, he normally wasn't this careless. Just, with Lin everything was always dialed to eleven.

He stood, ready to make his way out, but Lin thought quick, holding him by the arm.

"Don't go." So he didn't go. Lin took his hand, threading their fingers together, holding him tight.

"I don't want you to leave me," he whispered, tearing his eyes away from the stack of unsigned papers on his desk.

🎶and there wouldn't be a reason why🎶

"Then I won't...." no matter how hard it would be. A frown made itself known. A frown when one feels trapped. A frown full of repressed feeling and sadness. A frown that shifted his jaw. A frown Lin noticed, because of course, with how attuned he was.

And it broke his heart. He hated making him hurt. 

🎶we would even have to say goodbye🎶

"Look, you know I love you," eyes so genuine and brown and big.

"No." 

Now Jon didn't know what to do, because now Lin looked like a puppy that'd been kicked.

"What?" he stammered. He never stammered.

"You can't say that."

🎶if the world was ending you'd come over right?🎶

"But it's the truth.... I never stopped. It's you. It's me and you." He tried at getting Jonathan, his Groffsauce, to look at him again, to see those baby blues light up. But he just wouldn't. 

And suddenly it dawned on Lin how selfish he was acting. 

"Jon." He turned his head to face him. "I never wanted to hurt you...." he choked out. God, this was hard. "You," his voice caught in his throat, "you can go if you want."

🎶Right?🎶

Jon's mouth opened and closed and he didn't say anything for a while. He blinked and stared and Lin could see a sea of emotion behind those eyes. 

Suddenly, he brought him in a warm hug, the kinds he always liked and whispered, "I don't wanna."
