three person pov 

Stone gasped as he woke up. He was sitting on the floor, his cats in sight. He stared at his clock, a bright 3:27 A.M. He decided to see what Ivo had to say by attending work. He did his usual routine, terrified. He looked at himself, and tears just fell on the counter of his sink. He curled a fist, letting it go that he had no power or match against Ivo. He was the smartest man alive. And probably one of the cruelest. Stone never acknowledged why he was so cold. Stone might not have 4 extra PhDs, but he was smart enough to know that he was probably the first people to love him. 

He felt extremely embarrassed separating from him, for two days. What kind of agent was he? Those lowlifes who gossip for a living in order to stay alive? He cried at the thought, knowing how vulnerable he was without his terrible, terrifying boss. He hated himself more for loving him dearly. He was just, so lonely, emotionless, and fragile. He choked on his sobs, staring at his face. He wiped his sobs with his finger pads. He was a mess. He cleaned himself up, hoping that Ivo would take his excuse of why he missed two days. Stone was thinking about quitting. 

He was tired. He looked at his body, looking at a bit of weight he lost from a diet of whiskey and meat sticks. His clothes were a tad oversized, but comfortable. 

Stone grabbed his backpack, prepared for the worst.

Stone glared everything in his way. Staring at his polished shoes. Glancing at all the kindness that flows in Green Hills. What happened to him? He stressed on that question on his way to the lab. He feared of what would happen, of what the future awaited. What Ivo would do to him. Say to him. Even look at him. Everything he feared, would come true. He was too scared to face the truth. His anxiety rose high, trying to even imagine Ivo's face. He hadn't taken his lunch. His backpack was so loose, but his back felt so much, carrying all the problems and stress. He swallowed that feeling. 

He gripped onto the strap of his bag, spotting sheriff Tom and Maddie Wachowski, Wade, and other friends spreading this odd feeling called love. Grace. Stability. He continued on his journey to the lab. He adjusted his tie.  He had a small earpiece in one ear, blasting music into. He tightened his grip onto the strap. There it was. That huge ass lab he never wanted to go back to. He had to go back. He went inside the entrance. He tried not to show his face. Suddenly, he felt a huge weight around his shoulders. 

"Heyyy, Stone, where the hell were you?" A fellow agent in the lobby swung his arm around Stone. "Your big boyfriend missed you. You better go get him before he kicks my ass." Stone shrugged him off. He felt so small. He was scared. Little did he know, Ivo was scared too. He finally saw how Stone wasn't as valued. Stone was a bit similar to Ivo mentally. Stones parents had left. He didn't really have friends. He didn't sleep a lot. Ivo sometimes caught Stone sleeping on the job. In the very beginning of them working together, Ivo used to scold him for his immaturity. Over time, he kept quiet when Stone wasn't working while on campus. He didn't really have many things to do. Stone never really cared, but Ivo strongly thought that he deserved better. 

Stone watched as the huge lab doors opened. There he saw lay the dark figure of the one and only, Ivo Robotnik. Ivo didn't say anything. He stood up from his seat. His face wasn't in view. "M-morning sir, I... My mother was in need. Desperate need. My apologies. I, I can make up for it by working o-overtime, I-" Stone was held tight. Something was on his body. Someone was on his body. His arms were by his side. Ivo was hugging him. He held tightly onto Stone, his shaky breath shuddering. "Sir..." Ivo's palm was on the back of Stone's head. Stone's face was hidden in the crook of Ivo's neck. Before Stone knew it, tears formed in his eyes. He was breaking. How he hadn't felt one's comfort in so long. Ivo held the male tighter. He was so pretty and hurt. The two just sunk into each other in the middle of the room. How broken they were without each other.

How they loved each other with not any of them having a clue. A clueless romance. God, how they loved each other dearly. This took a lot of Ivo. His courage and determination. Stone set his arms on Ivo's back. They stayed like that for a while. Ivo was tired. Really tired. He trusted Stone. He trusted him with his life. Stone was sobbing at that point. Ivo's palm was left on Stone's head. Romantic or not, Stone wanted to stay like this all day. Ivo really didn't care that he was getting a tad soaked from Stone's crying. He desired to help Stone. The way he struggled broke Ivo's heart. Stone was strong. Too strong. 

On Stone's end, he was extremely close to breaking and had poured his heart out. He loved Ivo so much. Why didn't he realize that as the smartest man alive? His cheeks were soaked, his eyes tinted red. He coughed from Ivo's cologne. Which bitch is he trying to impress? Was he just being nice? Stone's overthinking hurt. He sniffed his nose and pulled away from Ivo's warm grasp. Ivo stayed silent, staring at the smaller frames' beauty. He looked so broken when he cried. Ivo frowned slightly watching Stone trying act like nothing ever happened, to clean up the scene. 

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I-I'll.. I'll leave soon." Stone tried not to burst out wailing. Ivo grabbed his hand. His hand was soft. He found it amusing that Stone's hand was slightly smaller than his. "Care for a walk?" The only words Ivo said. Stone's doe eyes met Ivo's. Ivo held the shorter males' hand tight but comforting. God, how he loved Stone so much. His favorite person breaking down in his own embrace. Stone didn't say anything. He just held Ivo's hand back and wiped his eyes. Ivo held him close, feeling his warm aura. He was really pretty. His warm eyes, full cheeks, lush lips, symmetrical cheekbones. He didn't deserve this pain. If only Ivo acted sooner. He hated himself for that. 

"Care to tell what happened? You know, just to calm your nerves." Ivo held Stone's hand as they walked. The breeze hit their hair, flowing momentously. Stone wiped his face with his left hand. He stayed quiet which saddened Ivo, realizing how hurt he was. Realizing he was the one who hurt the beloved. "Did you sleep?" Stone shook his head. This took a lot out of the two. Opening up. Ivo didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to love. His first attempt was great, in fact. The wind started getting heavy. They walked blocks, never letting go of one's hand. Ivo promised himself to do any comfort he could for Stone. It'd be a help and experience learning how to love. Ivo looked forward to that idea.

Going back to the lab was quiet. Stone was terrified of what was going to happen next. Fired? Never spoken to again? Gossip? He was shaking slightly. His overthinking was going to kill him. Maybe that was for the best. He felt like he was holding onto a mountain. Ivo noticed that Stone was scared. Ivo was smart enough to know, that he was scared of him. It broke his heart that his favorite individual was scared of his power. Stone was beautiful. Ivo couldn't stop but glace at him from time to time. "I'm sorry, sir. I terribly am. I should.. Leave. I'll pa-" Swoosh. Ivo grabbed Stone, bodies attached, chest to chest, lips.. to lips. Ivo kissed Stone, waiting for him to shut up. "You talk, quite much. I love it." Ivo reconnected with Stone. Stone was so confused and shocked but went along. This is what he was waiting for.  He was so bright inside. It was like Ivo cleared the storm brewed inside. Everyone needs a kiss once in a while.
