[ It's-- not that he wouldn't have wanted what they just shared, although it kind of is. If he could undo it, rewind, make it all go away instead, he might. He really might, although... fuck, it feels good. Maybe he wouldn't, maybe this is just the time where he finally shoots himself in the foot and lets himself bleed out from it. Go out with a bang, right? Really hurt before the end.
Feels weird to be analyzed out loud like this. Makes his lips scrunch up into a tight and slightly displeased little moue that Mace can't see from his perspective.
You do want a hypothetical somebody.
Indignation flares up a little. Fans up a bit more at you'd leave first like it's some kind of conclusion Mace has drawn but isn't sharing with the class. He's not gonna ask.
(The A stands for Asshole, in his opinion.)
He sighs softly at that non-question that wraps all this up in a neat bow. Still doesn't feel like Mace really gets it - if he would, he probably wouldn't still be holding onto him, wouldn't be tapping out that pleasant rhythm on his collarbone that feels nice.
Or maybe he would, and he's acknowledging like Ian has that this is pretty much it. The end, all they get before they go. All he gets is Ian.
At any rate, at least he tried. Put it out there so that he's transparent and it's known. It assuages a little bit of his guilt, and he'll be able to sleep because of it.
He's not gonna push the point. He's just gonna softly state, like undisputed fact: ]
You're too good, you know? You're really, really fucking good.
