If I could give my Heart for you (IMHY) {EarthMix} Discontinued

* Feelings *

Even though Gulf wanted to butt in and say something... he knew how right the other was, how high the probability that Mew's words would come true, if his friend ever got to know of this. Over all those years that they had been friends, that they had spend time together... he clearly saw how much Earth was hurting. How he unknowingly would bring up his other half, remembering situations they had together no mater where exactly they went or what they did.

When they once went to an amusement parc, the other would tell him an anecdote how Mix really wanted to go to one of them so badly, Earth ended up renting the whole parc for a couple of hours, so that they could go alone. Why? It was dangerous otherwise. Coming from two influential families like they did, going in public was something impossible. So... in order to feel a little more normalty, they had to go to such lengths. But for the two of them, those memories were precious treasures, something they were normally unable to experience... but somehow still got to do together. And it was like this with many things.

But the thing Gulf always found... the most touching, was his friend's behaviour on Mix birthday. No matter how much work there was, how tight the schedule or even if there were exams the next day: Earth would spend the day decorating his apartment, just as if he was awaiting Mix to come back in the evening. He would go all out and cook his favourtie dishes and even got one of those fancy cakes with handmade sugar flowers for him... With his help they send a brithday present to Mix every year, paired with a ten page long letter in which Earth was telling him how much he missed his other half... and then at the end of the day, Gulf would light the candles and Earth, in Mix' state, would wish for the other's wishes to come true and for his happiness...

Gulf was sure, if there was something like soulmates or people destined to be together... it would surely be Earth and Mix... even though it would be twisted destiny... If he would just never know about this, they could be happy right? He only... had to keep quiet, like Mew was doing all those years.

"Okay... let's keep it a secret , " he said softly, carefully taking Mew in his arms and giving him a hug, since this seemed to be something he desperately needed in the moment and hadn't gotten in a while... "It must have been hard on you too... right?"

Mew could only sob in the strangers shoulder, carefully placing his arm around the figure and holding onto it for dear life. If there was one thing that could even barely be compared to seeing your best friend in such a bad condition... it was keeping it all inside you. Having no one to talk to about it. Having to carry this heavy knowledge all on your own without the option to find comfort, to cry yourself or to let the emotions out. So Mew stayed like this for a while, letting out all his pent up feelings, all the tears he had tried so hard to hold back over the years. Until his tears had dried out and he was only silently sobbing... Gulf holding him the whole time and patting his back. Seeing Earth over the years, all his nightmares and the times he would break down and cry because he missed Mix so much... it was heart wrenching. But seeing what pain this stranger had gone through, without even having a person to confide in... somehow touched Gulf's heart as well.

A while later, Mew softly let go of the hug, leaning back and drying his cheeks, his eyes glowing bright red and burning from all the tears he had cried over time.

"I think you should take a shower too.. huh? I'll get you a glass of water and something that will help you with the headache you are getting... and then I think getting some rest ourselves would be a good idea... What do you think?"

"Sounds like a plan , " Mew answered weakly, getting on his legs before slowly leaving the room, heading to his bedroom and grabbing a change of comfortable clothes before getting into his bathroom.

He couldn't help sitting down in the ground for a while, leaning his back against the wall while feeling the cold tiles under him and letting out a sigh. Mew had known that one day, someone would find out about it. Maybe not all of it but... most of it. Definitely enough to blow this whole thing up, if it ever got out, or to ruin the peaceful life Mix could have, if he recovered enough to live normally. But thankfully, it wasn't a stranger that found out. It was only Gulf.
