“Sorry, sorry, sorry,” Oaks sobbed. “You shouldn’t have to see me like this.”
“Wha- Oaks, why?” Rayden asked, his hands hovering around Oaks without touching him.
“I’m just, *sniff*, supposed to be the happy one,” Oaks admitted.
“You don’t…” Rayden struggled to find his words as he carefully cradled Oaks face. “You don’t have to be. Even if you’re the happy one, sometimes the happiest people are often the ones who need the most cheering up. You’re...allowed to be sad.”
Tears continued to stream down Oaks’ face, and they fell harder as Rayden said that.
“Oof!” Rayden huffed as Oaks brought him into a harsh hug and cried into his chest.
Rayden froze for a moment before wrapping his arms around Oaks, gently rubbing his back.
“It’s okay,” Rayden whispered. “You can cry. I’m here for you.”
