KOA
Friends: a new category for them, really, stifling yet safe. But it's more than he'd ever really managed with Flora, something he'd never truly been with Soh. Maybe this is what they should always have been - at least that's what he assures himself as he meets her molten silver eyes, swallowing down the surging temptation to immediately redact the words. If there had been any protest from Sohalia, if she'd said she wanted more...
But she didn't, and it's for the best. He's fighting enough battles, at present, to take up arms for a cause it's already proven he'll lose.
"No matter what," Koa agrees, returning the gentle squeeze. Then, reluctantly, he releases her hand, letting the barrier between them fall firmly in place as they finish their evening in pleasant companionship. And when they part, Koa is content to hold onto the promise of friendship, to devote himself to what they are rather than pine for what they might have been.
Friends, the door to all else shut.
At least for now.

Let me go, I don't wanna be your hero
I don't wanna be a big man
Just wanna fight with everyone else
I don't wanna be a big man
Just wanna fight with everyone else
