[The past few days have been rather strange for Ion. Between all the problems stemming off of what happened on Christmas eve and the incident with Kohan, something new has started happening. Something he can't quite explain.]
[It started out of nowhere. Just like that day when he was returned from the malnosso, he awoke with a sharp pain running down his arms and legs. But this time it felt different -- stronger. And it took more than a few minutes before he finally felt stable enough to move out of bed. For awhile, he thought perhaps it was nothing. Maybe he was just feeling a little sore from all the stress? It wouldn't be the first time stress had affected his health, after all.]
[But then it happened again at the library. And that was only a few hours after a rather nasty fall while walking around the village, scraping the palms of his hands and his knees. He's lucky it was snowing earlier that day, or it might have been even worse! But in the library, all he had been doing was sitting and reading. And then, once he tried to move again to find another book, his legs prickled with pain, pulling him back down where he'd been sitting.]
[Something was wrong. But what should he do? Would it be right to bring this up, knowing it might be nothing? Especially if it does turn out to be nothing, in which case he'd just be causing undue stress for the others. And he can't help but think back to that last conversation with Nephry...]
[Which is why he'll be popping over to go visit a certain friend, without notice -- rather unlike him, but he didn't exactly want to make the trek back home to fetch his journal. He'll just have to hope he's home...]
[After that, he'll be making his way home. But given the snow still falling and covering the ground, he won't be having a very easy time of it. At least the snow will provide a soft landing for when he trips over his own feet.]

((ooc: Hey guys! So this post is basically the starting point for a little plot I've got going for Ion. Feel free to catch him anywhere around the village, including: the plaza, Seventh Heaven, the library, walking towards C4, or making his way back to House 1.))

[Luke rubs the back of his neck and lightly bites his lower lip. Talk about awkward. He was hoping he'd get by without revealing who saw them, but... too late for that now.
So, back on topic, Luke glances at Ion, still pretty red in the face himself.]
But you do like him?
[action]
...I don't know. It wasn't something I even considered until I spoke with him about it... he was avoiding me for long, I was more concerned about preserving our friendship. But when he told me it was probably just the malnosso making us act like that, I... [He gives a soft, hallow laugh.] ...I couldn't find it in me to disagree with him.
Even though we agreed nothing would ever make us stop being friends, I... don't know how I'll be able to face him again.
[action]
God. Poor guy.
He frowns a little, trying to think, trying to remember. What did Guy say to make him realize he had a crush? Well... he kind of said it outright, but after Luke denied it?
Grah, he shouldn't be depending on other people. But what else can he do?]
How do you feel now? I mean, when you think about him... What all do you feel?
[action]
[He closes his eyes and brings a hand to his chest. How does he feel...]
I feel... like I can really be myself around him. He never knew me as "Fon Master Ion"... I've always just been Ion. And when I'm with him, I feel like it's okay to want that. To want the life I have here. [To really want it, rather than simply accept that he's here and he's still alive. Ion may be better off than he used to be, but there's still always been a part of him that wondered about his life and purpose here in Luceti. Most of the people only saw Luceti as a temporary place, and waited for the day they would go to their real home. Kohan was one of the few people he knew who truly didn't want to go home.]
...and when he was walking me home, after what happened at the restaurant... even though there were no mistletoe around, I asked him to kiss me. I know I wasn't quite myself at the time, but... even now, thinking back, I... I wanted him to kiss me. I've... never really felt that way about anyone before. [After all, even with Anise, his feelings for her had always been for more emotional than physical. And admitting even just that much is enough to make his face go red again as he turns away.]
Hearing it out loud... I wonder if I'm not just in denial right now.
