Summary
He wants to spin around and shove himself into Ni-ki’s arms. He wants to let it all go and stop pretending he’s fine. Instead, he turns his face to the side, jaw tight, fists clenching and unclenching. He kicks at the floor just slightly with his socked foot, trying to ground himself, to pretend he isn’t affected, even as his eyes sting.
“I said I’m fine,” he mutters, voice sharp, a little shaky, like the words don’t belong to him.
“You’re not fine,” Ni-ki says right away, calm and firm. Certain. “You’re overwhelmed. You don’t have to pretend for me.”
