My own personal comfort post… sue me…
Life sucks, that’s an obvious fact of life as we all know it.
Friends leave or become jerks over time, you can’t stop feeling ugly, every time you try to look nice it comes out wrong, your grades suck, people you cared deeply for left your life in an instant… so yeah, life sucks.
You sit in your room, quiet cries coming from you as you try to remain quiet. Everything just feels so wrong and you just feel so gross, it’s hard not to cry anymore.
Eventually a gentle knock on your door breaks you out of your trance.
“MC… Are you still awake?” It’s Levi, polite as always as he waits for a response to come from you.
“Yeah” your voice is shakier than intended, wiping your eyes to try and hide any remaining evidence from your tears.
He walks in, almost beginning to yap like he does before he catches himself. He sees your tear stained face, and although he isn’t the best with human emotions, he’s definitely seen something like this in an anime before.
“…What’s wrong… are you okay?” Is that the right thing to say? He’s not sure, but you matter to him and that takes priority over any of his insecurities.
He sits down on your bed with caution, almost as if he could break you with any little touch. He sits for a moment, just trying to give you space to open up.
Eventually you do, explaining how you just feel like an ugly loser overall, and how some of your friends have been really shitty people recently.
For once, he understands. He’s felt this way before, often actually… but you were always there to comfort him, to cheer him up in any way possible. He’s not good with this, he’s awkward and doesn’t understand how someone like you could possibly feel like him.
But, he tries. He opens his arms for you as you cry, a strange feeling for him. He listens to your woes, taking it in and trying his best to understand your feelings.
He can’t fix everything, although he wishes he could, and he tells you such. You know this, but him being there for you is more than enough for you right now.
He reassures you the best he can, even taking things his brothers have said to him to try and help you as best as he can.
It’s a little awkward and janky, but he’s authentically him, and that makes it just a little better on you.
Eventually you fall asleep. You lie right there in his arms, unmoving as he lays down in your bed with you still on top of him.
Maybe just this once…. Maybe he isn’t a loser otaku and you are the most beautiful and amazing girl in the world to him… sure, both of those things are true anyway, but in this moment you understand. Any arbitrary thoughts are tossed away, and it’s just you two in the night.
A demon and a human, that’s it. No problems, no rules, no worrying about anything else, just you and him in the calm of the night.
