Part four of San’s drabble mini-series can also be read as a stand-alone!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Days after your confession you once again find San at your doorstep. His eyes were bloodshot; even though you had seen this sight more times than you can count, it still makes your heartache.
“Hurry,” you mumble, rubbing away sleepiness as you usher the distraught male into your house. A small sigh escapes your lips as he makes his way to your living room couch.
Before you could get your words out he looks you in the eye, lip trembling, and says “I broke up with her.” For some odd reason, his words shook you to the core as you hurriedly sit beside him. She had broken up with him multiple times but he had never broken up with her. Maybe the relationship was over for good. Half of you was ecstatic but the other half of you felt terrible. As much as you didn’t like the girl he was dating, she truly made him happy more often than not.
Patting his back, he lays his head on your shoulder and sniffles softly. “I wish I was still in love with you...” he mumbles softly, eyes shut tightly. The comment breaks you completely as you stay quiet, staring at the turned-off television in front of you. “Yeah, me too Sannie.”
“You missed a spot.” his voice is raspy and shaky as he helps you wash your back. You couldn’t muster up the words to say anything and only motioned for San to help you out, which he did. After his abrupt confession on the couch and yours that soon followed, you felt a weight lift off of your shoulders. You felt relieved like you could finally move on with your life. Yes, you longed to be with San but if he didn’t share those same feelings, what good was it to you?
Laying beside him in bed, you don’t notice how he takes in your features. He never once forgot how pretty you are and he never forgets how lucky he is to sleep beside you. Yawning, you turn your head and your eyes meet his. “Hi,” you whisper out, smiling slightly.
He waves, a goofy smile on his face as his heart pounds. He missed this feeling, he missed you. Yes, he slept beside you and talked to you but the circumstances weren’t ideal when he did. He missed the heartfelt moments with you, the moments that caused him to fall in love with you in the first place. Ever since the kiss you two shared, he couldn’t get the feeling out of his mind. The feeling of truly being loved and cared for. He longed to love you again and he hoped you would continue to wait for him.
“Please wait for me,” he whispers, lip quivering as he looked into your sleepy eyes. You simply smiled, closing your eyes. “I have been San,” you pause, “and I’ll continue to do so until you don’t want me to anymore.” your breath turns shaky. “Please don’t want me to wait anymore.”
A lump in this throat forms as silence fills the dark room. He can make out the outline of your body, how pretty you looked despite your eyes being closed. He wanted to be selfish, to continue to make you wait for him but he couldn’t...what if he was never ready again? “I-” the words are caught in his throat, conflicted, he bit his quivering lip.
“Just a little longer...wait.”
