how weak hero guys confess !

a/n ; this might be super ooc.. i'm sorry 😭, i tried my best to write them based on both the show & their mahwa versions but uhhh... yeah idk how good this is. this is my first time writing for these guys. likes comments and reblogs appreciated<3 THIS IS NOT PROOFREAD BY THE WAY. THERE MAY BE MISTAKES.

incl ; park humin, yeon sieun & go hyuntak

yeon sieun / grey yeon

he's uncharacteristically nervous and hesitant but he somewhat manages to hide it

he'd probably be fairly straightforward with it though, no big fancy gestures or high expectations, he'd just make his feelings clear

it would be very unexpected - not that he didn't prepare or know what to say, more so just that the moment would unplanned the sky turned an picturesque orangish-pink hue as you and sieun stared out into the sunset. the air filled with baku's boisterous, childish laughs as him and the rest of the gang played basketball. "oi! why don't both of you join?" gotak's voice broke through your thoughts, "too scared to lose sieun?~" baku teased, you snorted in response and elbowed sieun, "not gonna fight back?", "no he's right. i know i'll lose" sieun deadpanned but his eyes glossed over with a fondness only his friends could pick up on. "suit yourself!" baku yelled, as he was promptly hit in the head with a basketball that juntae threw at him to draw his attention, "yah! what was that for?!", you laugh out loud to yourself, "i don't know where they get this much energy", sieun hums softly in response. "you act so stoic but i can see how much you care about us sieun! don't try to hide it," you tease, your tone drenched in honey-like sweetness, sieun huffed and his gaze met yours, "i care about you a little extra" he said softly. your face flushes. "what's that supposed to mean?" you smirk, "means i like you", he mutters quietly and then turns his gaze back to the court, almost as if he didn't expect a response, like he was content with simply letting you know how he felt. "hey! hey. helloooo. you can't just look away and stop talking after saying that!", you nudge his shoulder, "hm?", "i .. er.. like you too, you know?" you respond with an uncertain but hopeful look in your eyes. "oh. that's.." sieun glances away. you notice the tips of his ears turn slightly red. you don't know if it's the trick of your imagination or if the ever stoic sieun was truly flustered. he silently placed his hand on yours, hesitantly intertwining your fingers. sieun didn't really plan out this far. you smirk to yourself. sure, he didn't have the most adept of social cues, but you didn't mind.

go hyun-tak (gotak) / alex go

100% is the type to try and make it romantic.

he isn't incredibly well versed in this kind of thing, and he's certainly awkward about it but he tries his best </3

his realisation of his feelings would take him by surprise him and he'd probably be really unsure what to do after that

goes to juntae for advice because he's into romance manga 💀 (juntae shuts him down after he realises gotak is trying to go to romance manga for advice and instead gives him a pep talk which works out for him in the end)

tries to be chill about it but fails

you stare at the claw machine with a bitter expression on your face. you'd already wasted so many of the arcade coins trying to get that stupid plushie. "this is so annoying… i give up" you sigh in frustration and walk away as you return to the group, sieun and humin were immersed in one of the 1v1 games, both wore expressions of utmost focus. your previous frustration fades away as you cheer sieun on. hyun-tak doesn't say anything but quietly steps away from the group and towards the claw machine.

"go sieun!", "ey! why're you cheering for him?", "because you suck", "that's so rude. i revoke our friendship, y/n. i'm so betrayed", "woah! revoke! such impressive vocabulary", "hey! i can learn new words too!". hyun-tak chuckles to himself as he overhears the banter. he manages to get the plushie after two tries and slides it into the bag before returning to the group.

the hours pass by fast and before you know it, everyone starts bidding their goodbyes. "can i walk you home?" hyun-tak asks softly. "oh!.. yeah. sure, but isn't your house the other way?", "that's fine, come on". your eyes soften at his consideration. "um. actually.. i have something for you", "hm?" you tilt your head slightly. he pauses and pulls out the plushie that you were eyeing from the arcade machine, "huh?! oh- you..", "i saw you trying to get it and.. well. yeah. um. happy birthday or something-", "hah? birthday?", he flushes. "no- wait shit.. uh.. i didn't mean to say that. um. ahem. i.. like you", you stare at him with a startled expression. that was certainly out of the blue.

hyun-tak starts to panic at the sudden silence, "i- i mean- well- it's .. it's fine if you don't-", his voice dies down in his throat as he feels something warm press against his cheek. "i didn't know you get this anxious so easily.." you teased him. he stared at you with dilated pupils, flushed cheeks and a dazed expression, "thanks for the plushie. i really appreciate it" you said fondly. "text me when you get home, 'kay? goodnight!" you giggle to yourself, "ah.. oh.. okay! yeah! sure-" he replies, voice laced with elation.

park hu-min (baku) / ben park

quite literally fucking wings it

he doesn't have a plan, the confession just comes out randomly and even he's suprised by it

he'd accidentally confess in the most random situation ever

he's also super obvious about his feelings so its likely that you have a hunch about it before he confesses as well. he's the that type where everyone else knows about his feelings except himself. you yawned softly as the day's exhaustion creeped up on you. it was movie night with the gang and juntae decided to subject everyone to the absolute emotional wreck of a movie that was grave of the fireflies. everyone burst into tears and one point or another during the film. baku vehemently announced the only way to recover from that experience was with food. surprisingly baku was a great cook. he never really mentioned it much but his cooking took you by suprise every time you tried it. "i can help you in the kitchen if you'd like," you offer. "yeah of course!" his eyes crinkle as he smiles, a trait you've grown to find so endearing. as the both of you worked in the kitchen, you realised that the scene felt comfortingly domestic. it warmed your heart. you both move around the kitchen in comfortable silence, until it was broken by your gasp. you accidentally sliced your finger while cutting the vegetables. you wince and immediately move your hand away, as to not get any blood on the food. a look of irritation crosses your face. baku immediately drops what he's doing at the noise and rushes to your side, "what happened?!- show me your hand, how deep is it?", "um, it's fine, it's small-", he grabs a cloth and places it over the wound with an uncharacteristic frown. "wait here..", you stand in the kitchen and press the cloth against the cut to stop the blood. he really doesn't have to be this worried, you think. baku returns with a bandaid and wordlessly takes your hand to put it on. baku seemed to hesitate for a moment before bringing up your hand to kiss the bandaged wound. both of your brains short-circuited. he yelped and backed away as if he didn't even realise what he was doing, and you stood, unmoving, with a flush creeping up on your face. "i'm so so sorry! i totally didn't- i mean- i d.. uhh.. i like you! i mean- i only like you if you like me! er. if you don't like me, then forget everything that just happened!..", he continued to blabber as you slowly regain your bearings and recovered from the shock of that very endearing yet corny gesture. "wait.. there's no way you like me- i'm so sorry. forget everything th-" you promptly cut him off , "shut up you idiot," his mouth snaps shut. you sigh but a fond smile creeps up on your face. you feel like laughing but you stifle it to not put this flustered boy into more misery. "i do like you". "oh.. " he stared off into space as if he never anticipated this response. "what am i supposed to do know?" he mutters to mostly himself but you catch it. "this", you say as you press a chaste kiss to his lips. he grins as you pull away, eyes sparkling. "AH! I'M SO HAPPY!" he laughs childishly and cups your face, squishing your cheeks in the process, "i'm so happy-", "ay! stop that- you're so annoying..", baku's laugh seemed to be contagious as you find yourself snickering as well.

[twiddlenoodle]

Best friend! Hendery but he has a crush on you? Genre: fluff (idk if you’re doing the new members too but if not, maybe change it to Jaemin?)

[4:00pm] you and hendery sat next to each other on the bus, him sharing the other half of the earbud with you as the soft ballads playing manage to drown out your surroundings. He then felt his cheeks burning into a deep shade of scarlett once he felt your head against his shoulders, your soft breaths indicating that your asleep.

With enough courage, he slowly leaned in and gave a small peck on your cheeks. quickly leaning away when you suddenly stirred.

Cuddling headcannons with wbk men because I need Suo to scratch my head

cuddling w wbk!boys ( incl suo, umemiya, kaji & sakura )

an: hope i did justice for this req. this was surprisingly hard to write. THIS ISN'T MY BEST WORK IM SORRYYY i still hope you all enjoy

SUO HAYATO

-suo isn't the type of person to be super physically clingy or cuddly but he wouldn't turn you down if you wrapped your arms around him.

-neither big spoon, nor little spoon. in bed you'd both just lay next to each other with one of your hands around him and his hand running through your hair (cuddling facing each other basically) "mh.. suo?" you mutter tiredly. the day's exhaustion got to you and you'd fallen fast asleep on the sofa, curled up against the pillows. "shh, don't get up" he responds softly. the bed shifts under his weight and you instinctively move towards his warmth. suo cards his fingers through your hair in a slow, comforting manner - a thing he'd learned that you liked during your relationship. "warm.." you sigh contently, arms wrapped around him. suo presses a small kiss to your forehead as his comfort lulls you into a restful sleep.

SAKURA

-switches from big spoon to small spoon depending on his mood

-it takes him a while to get comfortable enough to initiate, but if you do it he'll more than happily comply you nudge sakura's shoulder as the movie plays in the background, after a certain point you paid no mind to it and just wanted to pay attention to sakura. he immediately glances at you with a curious glint in his eyes. you think, if he had cat ears, they'd probably twitch. how cute. "wan' cuddle," you mutter softly, he flushes but hums in response,"okay..", he obediently wraps an arm around your shoulder and you nuzzle your head in his neck. he glances at you with a soft look in his eyes and tugs the blanket on the sofa over you. soon, your breath steadies as you drift off to sleep, sakura joins you soon after but not before running his hands through your hair. KAJI

-similar to sakura in the way that he takes time to initiate

-kaji likes cuddling with music on in the background. anything soft or slow. (i hc that he likes wave to earth)

-falls asleep super fast while cuddling

-big spoon most of the time but doesn't mind being the little spoon the rain patters softly on the window as you find yourself in kaji's embrace. soft jazz plays into your earphones, one in your ear and the other in his. you smile to yourself at the intimacy of the action. kaji's already drifting off to sleep as he stares at you with half lidded eyes. "sleepy?", he yawns and nods in response. "goodnight", he hums softly into your neck as he drapes his arm around you. UMEMIYA

-big spoon 99% of the time and almost always initiates when you both are at home and he knows you're comfortable with it

-is super clingy and loves loves loves cuddles

-(this isn't really a cuddling hc butttt i wanted to add it anyway) he's super physcially affectionate; the type to hug you while you're cooking, studying or working, doing chores, and when you're just lying in bed and doing nothing

-when you're tired or cold, he'll wrap you up in bundles of bankets and then hold you "y/nnnn!~" umemiya chuckles brightly as he nuzzles his face into your neck, both arms wrapped around you losely. "umemiya- ah! stop that's ticklish.." you complain, but don't do much to pull away. his eyes crinkle and he grins as if he's carrying the sun in his smile. your earlier annoyance fades at the bright look on his face.

[crivyxen]

Could you write wbk hc with Kaji, Sako, Hiragi, Kiryu, Suo, and Sakura with a s/o (us) who's always tired and cold?

an: being tired constantly is something i relate to so much LMFAOOO its such a struggle 😭. ANON i'm not very good at writing for hiragi and sako so i didn't do them, (SORRY.) i will make a part two once i get more confident >:) ENJOY!

kaji

super attentive even if he tries not to make it obvious

immediately gives you his hoodie / jacket and chides you for not bringing one yourself "seriously?" "eh? what?" kaji's eyebrows furrow as he frowns and shrugs off the furin jacket, placing it on your shoulders. you shoot him a startled expression, "wh-" "i can tell you're cold, y'know. why do you keep forgetting to bring your jacket?" he sighs, "what if i'm not there to give it to you, huh? you need to take care of yourself" you laugh softly at his concern, "but you'll be around won't you?" he scoffs in response, but he knows he will.

he'd again get super concerned & scold you if you show up constantly tired

texts you reminders to take naps & breaks, not stay up late and drink lots of water

makes you coffee just the way you like it to help wake you up but also ensures that you're not taking too much caffeine

suo

similar to kaji but he's more obvious with his concern is more obvious

he brings a hot flask of tea if you guys are going out for a while or when you're tired at home, he'll brew some for you. his tea always helps you feel a little less tired suo takes your hand in his, "your hands are so cold..", "oh. it's nothing, that's fine" you assure him, he frowns slightly, "let's go home then, if it's too cold outside", "no, that's alr—", "we're going", he frowns ever so slightly "you look tired as well, his hand squeezes yours as another chill gust of wind blew your way, causing you to wince and shiver. "come on, then," he smiles warmly, "let's go". the idea of getting home and cozying up with him seemed appealing. you smile in return.

he suspects you have an iron deficiency due to those symptoms and is extra wary due to that

he tries to sneak more iron rich foods into your diet so you'll feel better

sakura

he probably gets really worried once he picks up on your constant exhaustion

almost immediately brings it up and after you explain to him that that's just how you always are, he gets a bit frustrated

he messages you consistently to remind you to go to sleep on time and drink lots of water "when did you sleep yesterday?" "oh.. um, like, 12?" "tch, that's why you're so tired all the time! you've got to start sleeping earlier, you know that, right?" you sigh and you run your hands through your hair in a slight annoyance, "i do know that, but even if i get 8 hours of sleep, it doesn't cure my exhaustion". he huffs in exasperation at that, "it'll only work if you start sleeping earlier consistently. you better try. or else.. i'll have to come over and make sure you sleep on time." he mumbles. your previous annoyance faded as you chuckled softly, "just say you want a sleepover", "i- i don't!" "you do" "whatever…". you take his hand in yours, and he can feel the chillness from it. "take my jacket, you stupid idiot. you're so cold.."

wind breaker head-cannons !! p1

part 2

this is my first time doing hcs lmao. these are just my own interpretations of the characters and what i think! everyone is entitled to their own opinion :3 enjoy!

-sakura does not know how to swim nor cycle

-suo relentlessly teases him for this 

-sakura picks up guitar (acoustic) after getting inspired by seeing suo plays violin. (and flute)

as for instruments the others play, i think sugishita plays bass and kotoha plays piano.

-tsubaki cuts, styles and dyes his own hair. he once let ume try and ume absolutely messed it up. tsubaki also cut suzuri’s hair after the roppongi arc.

-endo has a polymer clay keychain of takiishi. takiishi didn’t like it at first, but after a while he got one of endo too. 

-kiryuu gets dehydrated easily so his friends need to remind him to drink often

-kiryuu cosplays in his free time and likes collecting plushes, keychains, posters and all kinds of merchandise from media he likes

-he has a hatsune miku figurine and plush which, unexpectedly, ended up getting sakura hooked onto vocaloid 

-kaji’s least favourite flavour of lollipop is strawberry and his favourite is orange or lemon

-suo does origami to destress

-kotoha had a bob-cut phase when she was a teenager

-despite seeming like an outwardly fairly healthy person due to his energy, choji’s guilty pleasure is instant noodles and he often forgets to eat as often as he should so togame needs to remind him

-togame’s wallpaper is a blurry picture choji

-anzai is actually a great artist and bonded with momose over it. everyone around them thinks this a very unexpected duo but they get along well

-nirei is an amazing cook. his soup almost near cured sakura of his cold 

-choji barks back at dogs and sakura meows back at cats. sakura only does this in private while choji is completely unashamed. one time suo caught wind of sakura’s habit and never let him live it down

-kiryu likes floral shirts but doesn’t have a lot of them. he mentioned it off-handedly and tsugeura got him 10 for his birthday

-nirei carries around a polaroid camera to take candids of his friends during outings

-nirei said that sakura should be more expressive in his fashion so for chirstmas, he bought him funky socks: ones with bananas, cats and bread. sakura immediately flushed said he’d never wear them but you could see the colour peeking out form his shoes at furin the next day

-suo, nirei and sakura have matching keychains. nirei keeps his attached to his camera, suo keeps it attached to his wallet and sakura keeps it attached to his keys

-sugishita really likes birds. he’s a huge nerd about it too. his grandparents once bought a bird encyclopaedia and that’s the only thing he read all summer. ume took him bird watching for his birthday

thank you for reading!~ i hope you enjoyed <3 i'll do a part two soon with more characters ~

kazutora x gn!reader [hurt/comfort]

tw self harm! this fic is purely self indulgent so if you're uncomfortable with these themes please do not read.

please get help and reach out if you are struggling with sh, you're not alone! much love, author. <3

this is also not proof read so there may be mistakes

feedback and reblogs appreciated! :3

it’s been a bad day. school was tiring, classes drawled on and homework piled up. exam season was in 2 weeks and you were nothing short from stressed, you felt so stupid, why did you struggle so much to understand the content? you dig your fingers into your palm and scratch at your skin to distract yourself from the debilitating stress and anxiety. the last class ends and you immediately rush out of class, eager to just get home.

exhaustion wracks your body as you meander through the hallways and finally make it outside the school. ‘y/n!” kazutora cheerfully calls out. oh. in all your worry you’d completely forgotten about meeting your boyfriend. “hi kazu..” you mutter dryly. his smile falters at your crest fallen expression. he paused “.. what’s with you? you look dull-“ “i’m okay” you cut him off. “bad day i guess” you explain, “oh..” he mutters softly and wraps and arm around your shoulder and decides that he should try and distract you to get the weight off of your shoulders. 

“can i come over to your place? we can spend the evening together if you’d like…” you want to refuse. you have so much piled up work to do and knowing yourself, you’d probably just cuddle up with kazutora and nap the entire evening away. but you’ve also had such a draining day and you we’re just so desperate for comfort that- “i can hear the cogs running in your head you know? don’t think so much!.. listen.. if you have work to do i won’t distract you but just.. let me be there. i’ll try to make it better okay?” he answers all your unspoken doubts softly, bi coloured hair tickling your neck as he rests his head on your shoulder. “tora.. thank you..” you say softly. you both start to walk home. 

after you both made it home and got in bed, he intertwined his hand with yours and you relax. his fingers graze over your knuckles when he suddenly frowns at the ridges and scratches on your fingers. his head immediately shoots up and he leans closer to inspect your fingers. noticing the action you panic slightly “hey what- why’re your hands so-“ “it’s nothing! i just.. uh. must’ve scraped my hand somewhere-“ you respond in a slightly agitated tone that he immediately picks up on. you try to move your hand away inconspicuously but he grabs it before you can and pulls it closer to his face “these aren’t..-“ he pauses and the tone of his voice changes. “this is.. self harm, right?.. you.. you scratched yourself?” he asks shakily.

you stay silent. how are you supposed to respond to something like this? is he going to freak out? is he going to yell? what are you going to- your train of thought is cut off when you look at his sullen expression. his eyes seemed sad. oh. suddenly you feel so guilty. this is exactly what you wanted to avoid. this is exactly why you didn’t tell him. he frowned and clearly struggled to find words to respond. 

“why didn’t you .. tell me?”  he asks sadly. his cheerfulness completely drained away, leaving him with slumped shoulders, lips tugging into a frown and glossy eyes. “i didn’t want to upset you...” 

“seriously?” suddenly, the weighted blankets felt too heavy. suddenly, you wish you had turned him down when he offered to hang out after school. suddenly, you wish you could be anywhere else doing anything else because looking at his hurt expression was enough to send you into another panic attack. 

“i’m sorry, i- i didn’t want it to weigh on you… look, it really isn’t that bad, i mean, at least i’m not full out cutting like i used to, right? like, i think cutting warrants this level of worry but the point is that i’m not.. it’s just a few scratches to relieve some stress and you don’t even have to wo—“ “i do! i do have to worry!” kazutora cut you off, voice breaking. “of course i have to w-worry. it’s you y/n. please just.. tell me. please.” he pleaded in such a soft and pitiful voice that tugged at your heartstrings. “i’m sorry tora..” you respond, voice similarly drained and sullen. he wraps his arms around you and buries his head in your neck. the blankets on your bed are tangled between your feet and the ac is on full blast, normally you’d feel so extremely comfortable, but now you just feel disappointed. disappointed  in yourself for hurting him like this.

he sighed, eyes glossed over as he looked up at you. “i love you y/n. please talk to me. when you’re frustrated. when you’re anxious, stressed. anything. just talk. i’m never too busy for you. you might say that it’s just a few scratches but what if it spirals into something worse? you know i’m always worried right?.. please.. if not for your sake, for mine”. the desperation in his voice hung in the air. you wanted him to rely on you, not the other way around. “i’m sorry. i’ll try better. i’ll try for you” you respond unsurely, you don’t know if you’ll be able to do it but for his sake you suppose you could try and be more vulnerable. you press a light kiss to the crown of his head, arms wrapped around each other protectively and your eyes droop. homework can wait. you’ve already drained yourself enough today. you let your eyes fall shut and you both bask in each others warmth. your head feels sluggish from exhaustion but before you could completely fall asleep, you whisper “i love you..” “i love you too, y/n. rest well. i’ll be here when you wake up.”

↑ the song that made me so emotionally scatterbrained i had to write this

wind breaker hcs p2!

part 1

kiryu plays genshin — he mains kokomi

suo is perfect at almost everything, except cooking. (expanding on this more, many suo centric fics i've read hc him to be on some sort of diet, due to his lack of eating throughout the show. from that i draw the headcanon that he only knows how to cook very few dishes)

nirei knows how to crochet and knit

sugishita's grandparents often bake a lot of goodies on sugishita's birthday so he can go and share them with his classmates. he does this, albeit, very hesitantly & mainly because it makes his grandparents (and umemiya) happy

nirei is very sporty. he does swimming, and plays volleyball exceptionally well

sakura actually has farsightedness and needed glasses but for a long time he refused to come to terms with it until he broke under the pressure of his friends and went to an optamalogist. he got glasses soon after

umemiya separates the snails that visit his garden from his plants and keeps them in a terrarium. he names them too.

choji draws on togame's arm

nirei's guilty pleasure is butterscotch ice cream. the others tease him for liking such an 'old person' flavour

most of the time, kaji's playing video game ost on his headphones

kaji likes animal crossing. his favourite villager is cube

the whole class has a minecraft server in which sakura continuously dies in the dumbest ways possible, he's drowned in shallow water & in lava as well as having suffocated in gravel and sand several times.

anzai and sugishita are the best players on the server. kiryu's really good at building and he spends most of his time in game making really aesthetic and detailed builds

sakura stocked up on instant ramen when he first moved because he wasn't good at cooking, nirei promptly threw all the packets in the trash and replaced them with whole-foods.

alongside natto, one of suo's food weaknesses is soda. it gives him stomach ache.

choji is the type of person who can sleep anywhere in any situation and sleep soundly.

choji and togame have matching bracelets

kiryu buys lego flower sets often because they're a great decoration and fun to build. for christmas, he bought his friends a lego flower set with a flower that matched their personality based on flower language

solace [mikey x gn!reader]

warning: self harm mentioned! please do not read if you're uncomfortable with such themes. this is purely self indulgent.

a/n: sorry again to those who have put in requests! i've gotten started on them, but it might take some time as i'm a bit busy 😭

mikey whines and clings onto your arm "can't we go for dessert now?" "the heck?! we just ate!" "so? you do know that there's always room for desert, right?" "that's just dumb, I'm not spending any more money on you" mikey pouts. "not even doriyaki? not even one?" he pleads. "no". his frown deepens as he glances away like a petulant child. "actually you know, I might have ice cream at home" you muse. "really?! can we go and have some?" you think about the idea for a second, it doesn't sound so bad, you won't have to spend any money and you can satisfy mikey's craving 

your mood almost instantly shifts as you remember your specific discomfort you developed with the idea of being at home. "nevermind, scratch that" "what?" mikey's childish pout turns into a more concerned expression, though, it's not very obvious. you stare into the black pools of his eyes and glance away almost immediately, hoping that he wouldn't press further. of course, he did the exact opposite.  

"you're acting weird" "shut up" "no" he pauses and then he stares at you some more. you avoid looking at him. his gaze turns more worried. regardless of the fact that mikey was someone who was a little more on the childish side he was very attuned to his friends' emotions. "i just don't want to go home" "why's that?" he asks softly, clearly picking up on your hesitance. "um. i.. uh.." you stuttered, unsure about how to approach this conversation, meeting his eyes you only felt more pressured, those dark pupils staring up at you with the most patient expression you'd seen on him.  

"i've been really stressed recently.. with school and.. home and stuff" he doesn't respond yet and lets you continue, hand snaking down from holding your arm to intertwining your fingers together. "i got really panicked a few days ago and i.. freaked out and scratched at my hands" you don't dare look at him. you can't look at those eyes. "it wasn't that bad but i'm really scared my mom will find out, it'll be really bad if she does" your voice comes out a lot more shakier and vulnerable than you would have liked it to be. "if i see my mom again i'll just get stressed and anxious again. it'll be like that at least until this heals over. it's hard to hide" your voice cracks.  

"she'll get mad at you?.." he asks softly "i understand why she would, i get it, i mean, she's my mom.. i don't blame her but it's hard to recover after relapse. i always feel this overwhelming guilt. i'm not-.. this isn't something i can just quit cold turkey" you finally gain the courage to meet his gaze. he stares at you with an unreadable expression before tackling you into a bone crushing hug, wrapping his arms around you tightly and burying his face in your neck.

"i'm sorry" "eh?.. why?" he raises his head from your neck to look at you directly "i'm glad you feel safe enough to tell me this.." he says quietly and then adds, "i'm sorry you have to go through this. i'm here to support you, okay? i won't get mad at you for this" you feel your eyes burn and vision blur from unshed tears.  

"i'm scared.." you choke out "you can stay at my place today. i'll comfort you okay? we can cuddle, watch a few movies or .. sleep, or do whatever, you don't have to worry about anyone yelling at you" he responds.

you can't hold back your tears as you let them spill. "i'll protect you okay?" "that's not a promise you should make" you choke out. he frowns, but suppresses any other reaction, trying to hide his emotions to not put you into distress. "i don't care. i'm going to, okay? forever" you can't bring yourself to respond to his words. 

you shut your eyes and let yourself bask in his warmth. maybe you could trust his promise even for just a little bit.
