Lies & Cowardice // OSORA

"I want to give up everything for you. But I'm too afraid."

Osora and Arias have known eachother for years, and yet there was so much they didn't know about eachother, up until recently.

Osora was transparent with Arias, about the secret he'd kept since childhood, their identity, their feelings.

Arias knew so much about Osora, but..

There was a lot they didn't know about him, his feelings being only one of the few big things.

Since Osora's birthday things had been going so well for the both of them, save for the Sergo attack, the two were confident in their ability to sneak around and hide their current state of affairs, that is, until Celia burst into the her brother's room one morning, finding the boys sleeping in bed together, necks covered in hickeys.

Celia was right about everything, they did need to be more careful, and she left the choice entirely up to Osora.

Yet, somehow it seemed like he'd made the wrong decision despite having that choice.

He was just.. being careful.

But, of course, he couldn't be happy at the same time.
