"Love?" The priest's face twists in confusion. "Love doesn't make humans dangerous."

"What? But, they cause so many wars in the name of love!"

It was then that Ezekiel noticed the book in the witch's hand. A history book of her people. Which talked about the unfair war that came about due to a doomed romance. At least, that was what the humans told, and only the victors were heard in history. "No. No, no. Love is predictable, Medi. There are rules and a natural progression. It's why so many call it 'cliched'."

"That's only in fiction." Andromeda huffed.

Ezekiel laughed. "And often times the truth is stranger than fiction." He paused before deciding to take a seat next to her. "No, what you're thinking of is 'spite'. Now that has caused war."

"'Spite'?" Andromeda tested the word. Another human word foreign to her. Another emotion she was unfamiliar with.

A part of him wished to keep her ignorant. To tell her that life was beautiful and kind and keep her hidden from the truth, but he had learned it was a futile attempt. If anything, he would only cause her more pain when she inevitably learned the truth.

Ezekiel sighed under that ruby gaze of hers. "It's an illogical emotion. Something created from pain and anger, and it creates options in the human mind that should have never existed to begin with." He reached over and picked up the book on her lap. Flipping through a few pages and doing his best to hide his disgust. "Take this war against witches, for example. Everyone will tell you it's about a man who only wanted to be with the woman he loved, but it's all a lie."

"But, it's an official text." Andromeda furrowed her brow. "They can't lie in those."

"They can. Humans don't have spells that force the truth out, Medi." Using his fang to cut his thumb, the priest began to draw the sigil of truth over the book. Watching how Andromeda's eyes widened at the changes. The words twisted and stretched, disappeared and were replaced, and the truth emerged. He could have let her read the book on her own, discover the truth by herself, but he was still worried. "This is a war of a spiteful man who wanted to punish the witch that refused him. Believing he was entitled to her affections."

For a moment, Andromeda glued her eyes to the pages. Either not believing or not wanting to believe what it said. Then again, Ezekiel knew it made more sense than whatever the humans lied. It was real, natural, but it was unpredictably cruel and unreasonable.

A few tears fell from her eyes. Slipping under her glasses and dripping onto the pages. "All because he wanted her?"

"No. All because he wanted to punish her. Wars are always about punishment."

It is not love that makes humans dangerous.

Love is predictable. Love has rules of engagement.

Spite, however, makes the illogical logical to humans. It creates options in the human brain that should never have been considered.

You can’t tell me there’s not a little pink, purple, and blue lightbulb going off in Alex’s head here. One casual “sweetheart” and his brain short circuits.

when you realise you can’t keep calling it just a crush and actually have to tell the person you love that you love them

[zee-has-commitment-issues]

Absolutely wild that Wilhelm and Simon still thought they were a secret even though they kept sneaking off and openly staring at each other longingly and loudly arguing in open common areas and storming out of rooms when they got jealous and being petty in PE by throwing dodgeballs at heads and refusing to pass each other the ball and asking Jan Olof for a second so they could share a prolonged hug in a visible hallway.

Truly remarkable how their teenage brains work.
