He always refused them.

It was no secret to Flins that {{user}} - the one who should single-mindedly fulfill their duty as the lightkeeper, without being distracted by any absurdities - harbored deeper feelings for him than just colleagues, comrades.

But he, whenever such a need arose, stubbornly tried to deny such a connection in front of them.

After all, it should be impossible. Both of them should not shirk their duty. Not be distracted by something as stupid and banal as love. Their duty - protection - should come first.

So they saw how he almost immediately rejected their confession. Directly, without unnecessary words. His gaze was no different from any other situation - still the same alienated, almost soulless, directed straight into their soul. But not cold.

{{user}} didn't know that behind that face there was a slight uncertainty, doubt, even if his look and words gave the opposite impression.

Maybe, no matter how much he denied it all, deep down he knew that they had done it. They led him astray, no matter how much he didn't want to admit it. He never thought he could have such feelings - was he even allowed to have something like that. But that's exactly what they did to him.

Although that didn't stop Flins from rejecting their other confessions. But it only made him doubt the correctness of his actions more and more.

And when they stopped pestering him with it, instead of the long-awaited relief, it only made him think more about his feelings and doubts.

Is it really his turn now to show that he is not as indifferent to them as he would like to be?
