Where soothing words came from before was now a slight discomfort noticeable, his voice mixing up with hesitance like it rarely did in the company of the young saint. He never gave him a reason to feel any kind of discomfort. The company of the one who had caught his heart was always was soothing and secure. 

A surge of emotions ran through him. Those coaxing words spoken by the young saint, they didn’t fail their meaning. But soon those feelings turned out to be overwhelming. The urge to squeeze his hand even tighter, letting him know how he felt. It was what he wanted to do, to let him know that he didn’t mind having him close, holding his hand tightly. But would it be alright to ask for more? Just a little bit more?

“… yes.”

The more time they spend together the more he wanted to reveal his feelings.
The more he thought about it the more painful it became.
Would he scare Shiryu if he would tell him what he felt? Albafica was scared of his reaction. What if he would only recoil and wish to return to his time even faster? It would break his heart. If they were only allowed to share the touch of their hands then so it be. The Pisces Saint would cherish this moment. It was special, precious. He wouldn’t give this moment away for anything else.

Love had caught him in order that two imperfect souls might touch perfection. It doubled the gladness, it made the pride glow, it sharpened the sense of existence till he hardly knew if it was pain or pleasure.
