COMFORTING THEM AT THEIR WORST (or some sh*t I thought of at 3am) IV (Final part)
Feat. (Sako Kota, Jo Togame, Choji Tomiyama and Kotoha Tachibana)
Warning: Angst in Kota's part
You knew he didn't like to talk much and you were okay with it, you accepted him that way but what sometimes ticked you off, was his emotional inmaturity. Regardless of that, you were on a Pastry date, you were having a good time, but you realized he wasn't eating the cake, he barely touched it. You knew something was wrong.
"..." No answer, he was in his own world, probably reflecting on his relationship with Hiragi, questioning if the emotions he felt on his fight with him were correct.
"Oh-" he finally noticed you
"You've been spacing out this whole time! I decided our date to be here because you seem down since last week and now you barely talk to me, what happened? What is that going through your mind? You won't lie to me but you're having a really bad time, tell me, tell me everything, I want to he-"
Damn. Really rude of his part
"Oh? So you're going to go that way?" You were starting to get angry but then remembered: Your intention was not to get angry at him but to help him. You recomposed yourself on time
"Okay, I get it, you don't have to tell me but remember..." you held his hand "I am here for you, for anything..." you gave him a soft smile
Kota Sako looked down at your hand, but something in his heart hurt, he felt undeserving of your affection and began to doubt "Tch." He stormed off, he apparently needed alone time to think better this situation...
You were both laying down at the Ori rooftop, looking at the sunset sky, it was so beautiful, you then looked at your tall significant other, looking at him being adorned with the skylights of the moment, it was simply mesmerizing, so beautiful, so...ethereal.
You got up to him closer, you hugged him, he hugged you back, but he was hugging back tighter than usual, you swore you heard some cries.
"Kame-chan? Are you crying?"
"Kame-chan...tell me what's wrong..." your eyes show nothing but concern, the sole fact you were so compromised to do anything to make him feel better, not judging him for crying, not making him feel "less of a man" by just showing vulnerability, it makes him feel even more emotional than before, he is just so grateful to have you here. You know what he needs right now and you couldn't be more happy to be able to give it to him.
"I am the strongest, why am I not having fun? Why do I feel empty?! What did I not do?? __ answer me!!! WHAT AM I NOT DOING RIGHT?!" Choji Tomiyama, more than a tantrum, was having an emotional breakdown "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" he screamed, helpless of the situation.
You were wondering if you should just stay wherever you are or go and help him
"__..." he looks at you with teary eyes "...I need you here with me...right now" in the last part his voice breaks. That was it, that was the signal you needed to know, without thinking it twice, your rush to him, embracing him like you never done before.
A few minutes have passed, and you finally break silence "You being able to tell me whenever you feel down, that makes you braver than you think, I am sure you will be able to get out of this hole...and I will be here to witness it, to see you rise up and shine, like the sun you are..." you cup his face making him look at you "my sunshine, you make me happy"
In this moment, he felt the happiest man in the universe.
"Kotoha-chan!!!" You kicked down the door "...shit." you just arrived and already made a mess, nice one __ 😑.
But what surprised you was Kotoha was not there, so you entered the kitchen, hoping to see her "Kotoha-chan...are you-" you found her, she was there, trying to dissasociate from everything, taking deep breaths, trying to rest.
You stood there in silence, as if trying not to interrupt her. Kotoha Tachibana was someone who you thought had everything under control but right now, you are witnessing a raw version of her, she is extremelu exhausted, she works hard everyday and you couldn't be more proud of her, so you go slowly behind her and hug her. Fortunately, she reciprocated the hug, she apparently already knew you were there.
"You worked so hard today, I am proud of you" you said and she felt relief, as if all the stress magically disappeared.
