You felt helpless.
You were supposed to be happy.
But why were you fighting back tears?
Your heartstrings were being tugged on. Your heart, it ached so badly. It couldn’t stop itself from beating so fast and yet you couldn’t do anything about it. It even hurts to even let your lungs breathe in or out without your chest tightening harshly. Sobs were stuck in your throat, tightening with each inhale and exhale. Breathing felt like a chore.
Aching. Throbbing.
It was painful.
Your body starts to tremble, tears finally streaming down your cheeks after a brief while. For a moment, the world around you begins to fade into an uncomfortable silence, and then-
Through your blurry vision, a familiar visage appears. Tufts of blue hair and a warm pair of hands hold your face. A thumb wipes your upcoming tears away.
You don’t need to speak his name to know that it was him. You already knew anyways.
Without another word from the two of you, Makoto pulls you into a gentle hug, letting you cry for as much as you want. Through silent tears, you began to weep away your overwhelming emotions. His arms around you feel secure, they make you feel grounded.
The stillness didn’t seem so bad, now that he was here with you.
