Dio was conflicted. He was hurt, sad, and he wanted to be by himself. But he also didn't want to be alone, and he could hear how hurt Jonathan was as well. Dio loved Jonathan, as truly as he could love anyone, and he didn't want to hurt him, but he was also afraid of being hurt more by being strung along.

He turned around to look at the other man from the doorway. "I love you, Jonathan."

"I love you, too." Even if it wasn't in the intensity that Dio wished it was, he still did, and that was probably more than the blond could've ever hoped for to begin with. Jonathan hated causing him pain, wished that he could assuage Dio's worries by being what he wanted them to be... but he couldn't. He couldn't lie to him just to make him feel better. Jonathan also didn't want to give him false hope and string him along, so he keeps his thoughts about "maybe"s to himself.

"I wish this could've been different."

"You and me both", Dio replied, no longer looking at Jonathan. He had to go now, or he'd break down again, and this time he'd try to curl up in his arms.

He closed his eyes, heaving a sigh and then finally leaving Jonathan's room, headed to lay in his coffin again, wishing desperately that he wasn't afraid to put the lid over it.
