#this post is about the inexplicit ways kaz makes it clear to the READER how fucking much he loves inej

[veerbles]

we do not talk nearly enough about how, during the ice court heist (before kaz's epiphany while drowning in the spring, before inej was kidnapped, before the bathroom scene, before kaz had really come to terms with it) kaz tried to tell inej that if they didn't make it out, he wanted her to know his feelings for her.

he didn't actually manage to say that, and it understandably wasn't enough for inej, but it's just so incredible to me that he tried. even when repressed, the depth of his love for her is so deep that it managed to almost override his normal reservations and let itself known.

#kanej #six of crows #let it be clear: kaz brekker should not be praised for the bare minimum - and communicating his feelings IS the bare minimum #this post is about the inexplicit ways kaz makes it clear to the READER how fucking much he loves inej #and how long the way to loving her properly is; and foreshadowing for how willing he is to put in the work #at that point of soc kaz is still adamantly telling himself it'd be better for him if he just gets over inej #and YET when faced with the possibility of dying without telling her how he feels #his emotions almost win over his rationale #kaz's emotions!!! are so strong!!! they almost win over his brain!!! #we LITERALLY only see that happening when something concerns A) jordie/pekka or B) inej #I'm obsessed with this repressed teenage boy and his long ass journey to something resembling happiness #kaz x inej
