Stolitz - You & I

Part 2

Before Blitz could take another step, Stolas just couldn't hold back anymore, "Blitz, I don't care about the book! I care about you!" he cried.

Blitz stood in shock at what he just heard, wondering if he even heard the right words.

". . .you're lying." Blitz mumbled as he looked to the floor.

"W-What. . .?" the bird sincerely questioned.

"I said . . . YOU'RE LYING!" the small imp snapped. Now staring at the tall bird before him, but not without his eyes beginning to well up despite his usual angry expression. "There is no fucking way that you actually feel that way! Not towards me! Not about me!" he spat.

Normally, anyone else who'd see Blitz like this would either snap back at him, or just walk away. Stolas though, he was so unlike anyone else Blitz had met before. Stolas was different.

"Blitz. . . I'm not sure how to make you believe me, but I would never lie to you! Especially not about my feelings for you." Stolas once again confessed.

Blitz seemed as though he was about to say something else, but quickly clamped his mouth back shut. His eyes scurried around the room, as if he was quickly trying to think of something.

"I- I gotta go." the small imp stated as he rushed past the prince and towards the balcony.

"W-Wait!" the prince called out, "Blitz, wait! Please!" as he followed behind.

The imp placed his claws onto the railing to begin climbing down, but before he could, something took ahold of his tail which made him come to a complete stop.

Without fully thinking, Stolas grabbed Blitz's tail. Once he came to realize what he had just done, he released. "I- I'm sorry!! I didn't mean to grab your tail. . . I was just trying. . .please listen, Blitzy. . ." Stolas said softly, as he felt his heart ache.

Blitz turned around towards the bird, but with a changed expression. The tears that welled up in his eyes had finally trinkled down his face. The angry look he had before was now gone.

Stolas placed his hand on the side of the small imps face and began gently wiping his tears away.

This is always how Stolas had been towards him, but Blitz still found it difficult to see and accept that someone may actually, and truly care for his wellbeing.

Blitz could no longer hold back.

He quickly wrapped his arms around Stolas's waist, with his face buried in his fluff, and entirely broke.

Stolas only gently hooted his cute bird noises and held Blitz while rubbing his back. "It's alright, Blitzy. I'm here." he softly spoke while comforting the imp.

They stayed like that a moment more, before Stolas picked Blitz up into his arms and carried him back into the room to the bed.

An hour now passed, and Blitz stopped crying a while ago. But neither of them released the embrace as they lyed in the bed, remaining in complete silence.

Until. . .

"Stols. . ." the red imp lowly spoke.

"Yes, Blitzy?" Stolas replied while rubbing his cheek.

"I. . .(mumbles). . ." Blitz let out.

"Sorry but, you're mumbling. What was that, dear?" the prince genuinely asked.

Blitz only mumbled again.

". . .What??" Stolas now very confused.

"I SAID I LOVE YOU, BIRDBRAIN!!" Blitz shouted as a blush formed on his face, refusing to look up at the bird.
