Deepwood Weald Realized I can't not be with you

He was, as expected, angry when Alarian stated that the beast didn't have a claim on him. And he didn't view him as a possession; he viewed him as his--his lover, his partner, his. To Midar, that was different than being just his possession. But he very much disagreed with not having a claim over the other man; was his love not just that? I don't view you as a possession, he said indignantly. It was much deeper than that. You are mine because I love you, just like I am yours. He wasn't sure he was even explaining it the way he wanted, or that it would even matter. I..don't know how else to explain it, he said a second later, taking a couple steps back and sitting down in the snow. They had obviously had plenty of other fights before this, but this one felt different, like if he said the wrong thing, he would ruin everything. Frustration, something he was painfully familiar with, began to build within the beast, but he didn't know what else to say. Alarian was his, and he didn't think he could view this any differently.
