#this rr has made me insufferable i can't stop thinking abt them

the parallel between these two scenes haunts me at night because you have ellwood mouthing i love you quietly to gaunt where he couldn't have seen or understood it but it was enough for those words to just exist somewhere, they weren't heard but they were clear in what they were. and on the other you have gaunt also saying i love you in the truest way possible to himself: he hid behind ellwood as a nickname for so long, avoided even uttering his name because of what that meant and how he couldn't have allowed for any feelings of his to shine through until he finds himself saying it over and over, both holding eachother tightly and desperate to be seen by the other person
