{Parvill} Teardrops in Summertime

Strife paused in his work. He was outside Parv's castle tending to the garden he had planted there and it was quite hot. But nothing stopped Strife when he felt there was work to be done, other than hearing sobbing in the middle of a beautiful summer day. 

Was he imagining things? He continued his work but only a few seconds later he stopped. There it was again! Were was that even coming from? He was sure he wasn't imagining things now, he had definitely heard something. He straightened up and looked around. There was no-where someone could be hiding in his vicinity and still be in ear-shot. Glancing up at the castle he noticed a window open. Is that Parv's room?  Yes it was definitely the mage's room, he could see the dead chrysanthemums he had put on the windowsill that Parv had neglected terribly. He really did need to clean those out. Looking up at the room he stood stalk-still listening, the sound was definitely coming from that vicinity. He put down his hoe and heading inside wondering what on earth had gotten into Parv's room. Pausing outside the door Will could hear muffled sobbing coming from inside. He pushed the door gently and it swung open with a creak. Will stared.

Parvis was curled up in a ball on Strife's bed, tears rolling down his eyes like waterfalls. He looked up at the sound of the door. The red swirling depths widened when he saw Strife standing in the doorframe. "I-I I c-can explain!" Parv stuttered as Strife walked over to the spare bed. Parvis expected him to yell, to tell him off for invading his space, at least make a comment on how mussed Will's sheets had become. What he didn't expect was for Strife to step forward and hug him. He froze for a second before relaxing and easing into the embrace. They stayed like that for a while, Strife sitting on the bed as Parv continued to cry into his chest as Will held him like a small child. Strife didn't need words to know what Parvis needed right now. After all, it takes a lot to for tears on a summer day like today. Parvis sniffled and curled up in Strife's embrace. 

"Will you tell me what's wrong?" his voice was soft and warm, something Parv had never heard in him before. "Y-ya I'm okay now, thank you. J-just don't interrupt okay?" Strife nodded.

"You're always yelling. I'm so happy and proud when you compliment me but then you tear it down after 2 seconds. I feel so strongly for you Strifey but it hurts. It really does. I don't show it but it's there. And sometimes I'm alone and I just feel so sad because I don't think I'm good enough. I don't think I deserve you and you always complain about having to put up with me and sometimes I think you really mean it. A-and I try so hard but you don't ever seem to notice. And then I get so depressed and I don't know what to do. Because I love you Strifey, but sometimes I, I just can't." Strife held Parv even tighter as realization hit him. 

"Parvis... I didn't know. I didn't mean to hurt you, I just thought you knew you were an amazing human being. I'm so so so sorry Parvis, I never thought you took me seriously. And I am proud of you, you've come so far even in the things I was little help in. I just never thought to tell you because well, I thought you already knew. Your one of the most talented and amazing people I've met and I don't know what I'd do if you were gone. And I-I'm not great with emotions Parvis but I think, n-no I know that I l-love you. So p-please don't cry because of me." Parvis looked up at his teacher. Strife had his eyes screwed shut as he hugged the taller man to his chest. Parvis stayed in his arms enjoying the feeling of being cared for. 

"Thank you." He finally said.

"For what?"

"For being here." 

William Strife smiled and nuzzled their foreheads together, breathing in the smell of the mage. The couple stayed there on the bed for awhile as they shared a special moment. Because it takes a lot to cause Teardrops in Summertime.

Author's Note: THE FEEEEEEEELZ. Sorry I probably just ruined the moment but seriously, what have I done. This was inspired by the song Human by Christina Perri and also a bit of Fanart I saw on Tumblr. Just imagine Parv singing it and suddenly your like 'WOA'. So ya. I'm also experiencing LNMN (Check out my randomness book for more info on that).

Love you my sugars! ~AvatheBulldog
