Tendō x Reader // I Can And Will Help You

TW: attempted suicide

I ran away. All the way through the light rain up to the typical area where Satori and I would always meet up. Except for that I wouldn't see him here today and it's probably better that way.

They don't understand and they never will, nobody does. I'm smiling through the day, laughing, sometimes I show a little sadness over normal things like a bad mark on a test.

People tend to look into the mistakes of others, especially if something or someone appears perfect. Nothing is. That's why there has to be a flaw. So it's much easier if you show them a few scratches, they won't dig deeper. And it works. On every single one.

But I don't care anymore. This place is so beautiful, it's the rooftop of the gym, where the boys usually train. We would always look up to the stars, pointing at the pictures. What an astonishing last view..

I will finally get my well-deserved peace. Taking the last pill of paracetamol, knowing it'll take only a few hours. Something behind me falls to the ground and I turn around. "Y/n?.."

Why.. Why him, right now?

"Oh, hey Satori. What are you doing here? I thought you don't have practice today?", hopefully he didn't see anything..

Picking up the bottle he just dropped, he steps closer to me. "The better question is: What do you think you're doing here? What are those?", he takes the empty package out of my hand and his eyes widen the second he reads the name of the medicine.

He doesn't say anything for a few minutes. It feel awkward, since there's never such silence between the two of us.

"I just had a little headache and-", he cuts me off, "Don't tell me you just took one, because I know this stripe was almost full! Y/n-.. Why..", is he sad? I mean, there's no reason, it's just me.

"It's nothing, really."

"How didn't I notice? I knew you were behaving differently but I thought it was my imagination-", this time I cut him off.

"You couldn't have noticed. I didn't want you to, as simple as that.", "But why not? I could have helped you!", a quiet, yet soft laugh leaves my throat.

"No, you couldn't. No one could have. People are the way they are and I'm tired of this world. Tired of all this injustice. Tired of all the misunderstandings. Do you remember how you always call me angel? Well.. I finally wanna return home, you know?"

And this was the first time I would see tears coming up in his eyes, but he clearly tries to hold them back. "Hey, there's no need to-"

Tendō's pov.

I press them even closer to my chest. "No..", I whisper. "I will not let you go, even if that is selfish."

How can someone this beautiful not see their own beauty? I'm not talking about their appearance, that is undebatable. But their personality is just as loving. Who made them believe something else?

I need to show them, that they don't need to struggle alone.

Gently putting my hand behind their head, feeling their soft hair, I stare off in the distance.

"I'm not the best with words, but why do you think I would spend my free time looking at the stars with you?"

"I don't know, maybe you're just bored?"

"Wrong, because I love both. The stars and you. I enjoy both presences. Everytime I look up to the sky I wonder 'Do they think of me too?', that's why I came here today.", without anything further I pick them up.

"What are you doing..", it sounds like their voice is breaking. The dullness in their eyes, I saw earlier, isn't there anymore.

"Bringing you to the hospital. I will not leave your side, I promise.", they are shocked. Trying to escape me, but my grip is stronger. I won't let them leave, I don't wanna..

"I can and will help you."

✨

"If you would have brought them here any later, they wouldn't have made it. You saved them. They still need to recover, since their liver has received a lot of damage, but there's no need for a transplantation.", thank god.

"Thank you, doc. I'll be going in."

As I enter the room, they won't even look at me.

"It's okay, take your time.", and as I promised, I will stay right beside them. Catch them if they fall and help them stand up again.

I gently stroke their hair and I know this isn't the end of their problems, but it's the start for their solution.
