[ Maybe it had grown to be a slightly different kind of love, after the three years since the event. It was a kind of affectionate fondness. Reign knew his love wouldn't be as deep as One's, though maybe it could be entirely difference once One wakes.
Shell's words were a stark reminder that neither did Shell belong to Reign either. He knew that, knew it for a long time now, but it didn't hurt any less. More of a dull throb, something Reign had come to accept. It wouldn't be fair to ask Shell to keep himself celibate for One, while he himself was off having fun and having affairs. Not that there was a lot people he'd slept with, but... ]

[ Or would he? Especially if One were to wake and suddenly found out that Shell had formed relationships other than with him. Reign mentally shook his head, inwardly shuddering. If it was Reign, he may not like it either.
Suddenly unsure of what else to say, yet wanting to comfort Shell, Reign reached out under the water and took Shell's hand in his, giving it a squeeze. ]
