Don't Leave ~ R. Suna

Chapter 13

You were in shock, the both of you sat there in silence staring at each other. You were still processing everything he said, it felt like a dream. Suddenly you started crying, he looked at you concerned joining you on the bed. "Did I say something wrong? Why're you crying?" he held your face wiping your tears away. You put his hands down and smiled at him. "I'm fine, I'm fine. I just--hearing you say those words, when you asked me to stay. I really wanted someone to say that to me, I really wanted you to say that to me." He leaned closer to you touching foreheads while staring into each other's eyes, "Does that mean you'll stay?" Smiling at him and nodding your head, he kissed your forehead and pulled you into an embrace.

For some reason after hearing him explain his side and just properly listening to him, you felt that maybe you both deserve to fall in love again. That maybe you both just needed time away from each other to better yourself. Sometimes people meet the right person but at the wrong time, but maybe this time is the one. Being away from each other for 6 years changed the two of you physically and mentally. You were young and dumb teenagers when you first met, both not exactly experienced at being in love.

Suna acknowledged what the main problem in your relationship was, communication. There was a bridge between the both of you, but the bridge was split in the middle. He knew that the only way to fix it was to sit you down and properly listen to him, because whenever you argued you would ignore everything he said and just cut him off. During your arguments you never tried to see it in his perspective or even tried to listen to his opinion. You also never opened up to him, you kept things to yourself a lot or would run to Osamu instead. If you're being honest with yourself you don't understand why you did this, you knew that Suna would listen to you just like Osamu. You were scared of vulnerability, of course you trusted him but you just weren't ready to tell him what was in your head.

I was someone who tends to run away when things go wrong, it's something I've done since I was young. Whenever I got in trouble I would run and hide from my parents. Whenever things go wrong, my instinct is to run and hide. Now this is something I want to work on. I want to change for him, he showed me that he changed. Now it's my turn, no more running away. I will stay.
