3. Going Back to America

TW!! panic attack

Eiji and Ibe sat through another 13+ hour flight.

The both of them, on edge. They had no idea what to expect once arriving back in America.

It was difficult for Eiji to keeps his nerves under control. He felt like he was going to punch the next person that spoke to him, overwhelmed with emotion. he was sad, not knowing if Ash was going to be okay. He felt angry at himself for not being there for Ash when he needed him the most.

he knew he should've stayed longer.

He knew in his gut that it was wrong to leave him that day. He knew that he shouldn't have left. He should've know not to leave when Ash didn't come to the airport.

His own thought rung in his ears like a fire alarm in his brain.

"I shouldn't have left. he would be safe in my arms right now if I never left." he kept telling himself.

he continued to blame himself until he felt the hot tears beginning to stream down his face.

Ibe looked up from the magazine he was reading to see Eiji, bent over. He noticed the tears on the floor.

"H-hey Eiji.." he said, his voice almost trembling. He knew the boy was going through so much, of course he would be emotional.

He reached out to him, putting his hand in his back and rubbing it in an attempt to calm the all most manic boy.

Once he did that Eiji couldn't hold back. He started sobbing violently into his own lap.

Ibe sat there quietly, letting Eiji let out all the emotions that he's been harboring probably since they left New York.

He knew how Eiji felt because, of course, he too, was worried about Ash's current state.

As Eiji sat there, pouring out his feelings into ibe's comforting touch, he let himself melt away, eventually falling asleep.

By the time Eiji had awaken they were nearing landing.
