Of course, it was not easy. Who said it was? If not, Devion and Khal had sorted their feelings long ago, before Ayen arrived.
Other than things being hectic and them having become accustomed to how things were, there was also uncertainty that gripped Devion's heart.
Khal was only waiting for Devion, moving at his pace.
Devion was not certain about the future, not willing to commit. His curse was a ticking time bomb, and it seemed unfair to tie down Khal in a relationship when no one could determine when it would end.
Yet, they remained in this relationship. Not only because Khal was stubborn, Devion, from the deepest part of him, knew he also could not let go.
Ayen sensed the conflicted emotions that surfaced, something he had expected.
It would not be an easy fix just because he said it.
