"So this is what you really want?"

"Yeah, it is," Zexx spoke softly back as Ango stared at the midlander with a mixture of hurt and anger.

"And what about us?"

"What do you mean?"

"Us, Zexx," Ango stalked forward, the din of the machine shop behind them as the cold air of Coerthas froze hot breath in the midday sun. "You and me. Our relationship."

Zexx bowed his head, his heart already sinking and knowing what was coming as much as he wanted to fight there was little left to. "I understand, but this is what I've always wanted."

"And what about what I want?"

"I don't know."

Ango blew out a jet of steam from his nose as he reached up to rub the back of his head in frustration, turning his back to the man he loved. "You don't know, that's such a lame and cowardly answer."

"Well it's all I've got right now," Zexx shot back, his voice rising in anger at being call out. "I can't stop what I love and can't hold back on my dreams less what the hell are we doing any of this for?"

"US. We're doing it for us Zexx," Ango rounded now as he pointed a thick finger at him. "That's how it's always been. Or more, was supposed to be I thought. Now it's becoming all the more clearer that since we got to this icy shithole, you don't give a damn about anything we've built and done together!"

"That's not fair."

"It's not fair? What's fair to me, huh? What's fair to me?" Ango stepped closer now as his finger got more into Zexx's face.

"Get that finger out of my face," Zexx found his own anger rising faster to match that of Ango as the seafoam eyes clashed with his own blue.

"Answer the question."

"Get. Your. Finger. Out. Of. My. Face."

"Answer the fucking question, Zexx!" Ango screamed at him, the finger never moving.

Zexx slapped the finger out of his face as he shouted back. "I don't know Ango! I don't know! I didn't expect to get to this point with any of it but I fucking did and now I need to make a choice! An guess what? I made it."

Ango seethed as they stared back at one another, hearts breaking in both chests as they squared one another. Zexx stuck out his chin, his usual cool and jovial demeanor gone as he faced the end. Time crawled as the silence only deemed the chasm between them before Ango finally broke and turned away from.

Zexx watched the Roegadyn stalked away, his shoulders set and step firm as the midlander stared at his life changing before his eyes.

A final whisper shared from both of them as Zexx turned away to head back into Skysteel.

"I love you."
