You and Ekko cared about each other like no other. Nobody could have loved you like he did and vice versa. The relationship you both claimed to have however was strictly platonic. Ekko claimed to be as straight as a line, no fruityness in his soul.. All from childhood and up. Even when he would cuddle you for hours and beg for your attention. Though nowadays he claims that never happened.. Just like the days when Ekko had to pretend to crush on Powder because he didn't want Claggor and Vi to think he was queer. Ekko didn't understand why he liked being held by you more than when he saw a pretty girl.. That was one thing that never changed

Now Ekko had burst into your room out of anger.. Him and Scar got in a fight about how Ekko was gonna lead the firelights to 'death' all because Ekko had made some wrong turns.. Eve tried to stop it momentarily but that failed.. Clearly.. Because now Ekko was raging at the wall and pacing around as he tried not to scream..

"I mean really ! He got pissed because I made a few impulsive turns !! How is that MY fault !?"

Ekko looked at you as you sat in your bed.. You knew it was best not to speak when he was like this. You couldn't make him happy no matter what you said so you just nodded so he wouldn't get angry.. But even then he let it get to his head.. Ekko let his thoughts get the better of him and angerly slamed his fist on the wall. Ekko had gone on for a long while.. And in a moment of anger he started talking about how Scar had been talking about you..

"I don't know who he thinks he is anyway.. I don't like you like that.. I'm not gay."

Ekko didn't seem very happy about everything but you knew better than to talk.. Especially when you wanted the tea.. You liked Ekko.. That's for sure but all you could do was lose yourself in his eyes and wish you could do more.. though.. as if a command you got up.. Walking over to him as he spoke and you got on your knee to kiss his palm
