Concequences of war
Ian's POV
I sighed and raised my head. Gabrielle watched me as she tightened my tie. I tried my best to play a smile.
/"Are you scared?/" She asked, flattening my suit jacket.
I smirked. /"Maybe a little./"
/"It's okay to be scared./" She cupped my cheeks and the lights of sultry bulbs reflected in her brown orbs. /"You know why I fell head over heels for you?/"
I've always wanted to know. I just stared at her not knowing what to say.
/"You're brave, always see the good in people. You try your best to correct your mistakes./" She smiled at me. /"You value family. No matter what Albazar did to you, you're still risking your life to save him./"
/"He's my brother./"
/"I know,/" she said. /"But you're not him. You're different. You're Ian and that's why I love you./"
My cheeks turned crimson. /"I'm sorry. I'm not used to the whole romantic stuff./"
