After the girl left, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Now, to tell Ikuze the truth. Clearing his throat, he turned back to Ikuze "My apologies. Where was I..." He cleared his throat again as he adjusted the collar of his shirt. "Right. As I was trying to say before, the real reason I... left you at the alter was because...." He trailed off, then made a face and looked at the surface of the fountain water. Queens this was going to sound so foolish. Curse his dimwitted actions. "Because...." he tried again but failed to got on. Great, this was just making things worse. SPIT IT OUT MAN. Making an aggravated noise, he slapped his cheek, looked Ikuze straight into her beautiful blue eyes, and finally managed to get his thoughts out. "I left you at the alter because I thought you wished not to want to marry me and I did not want you to marry someone you did not care for and I could not handle that I actually love you quite a lot and how much it hurt that you did not love me back equally and my father was being unreasonably push with our wedding and we never got time to really, truly know each other and the whole ordeal only happened because of a misunderstanding a while back at that dinner party and I panicked and In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you I am a bit confused at your sudden confession but I can not deny that I am pleased by it so.... Did that make any sense at all or was I blubbering like an idiot?" He finished, panting a little from hurriedly tripping over his words to get that confession out. Queens, he hated that nerve-wracking moment when you lay everything down for someone to see and you wait from them to reject of accept it.... which was exactly what Ikuze had been going through not but a moment ago. Drat it all, he deserved this then.
