Comfort

Whenever you weren't in the best of moods or not feeling yourself, you always wanted some sort of comfort.

As a child, you didn't think you ever received the comfort you desired. To be held close to someone's chest, whispers of comforting words into your ear, the warmth of another making you feel some type of emotion. Like a blanket providing the heat to soothe your chilling body, hiding away from others to your protected world.

That's all you wanted. The comfort from another helps provide a sense of assurance and acceptance. You always felt a bit alone, not feeling included in certain activities with your old friends or relatives. You felt separated.

Isolated.

Distant.

You never wanted to feel that dark hole ever furthermore once you entered high school. Thus, you branched out and tried to open to others and gain their trust. You just wanted someone there for you, simply one person you can trust, like how you would always be there for them if needed.

But friends come and go, leaving you once more.

The cycle of being disconnected from others started over once again but through another version.

That was life's cruel path, making you experience the life of being alone in the dark from everyone. But it always felt so repetitive for you.

You didn't understand what was wrong...

Were you rude? No, never. Did you ever hurt anyone? Not ever. Was it your upbeat attitude that pushed them away? Who knows.

Or maybe it was just... you.

You were the cause of your loneliness and maybe you didn't realize it before but you did now. You thought that because you were always pushed to the side because maybe, there was something wrong with you.

You felt hurt and insecure about yourself, thoughts of how you should be quieter and let others speak for yourself.

You couldn't come up with any other conclusion due to why you were alone besides thinking you were the problem.

After those inducing thoughts, you kept to yourself throughout your first year at Karasuno High. Eating alone at the lunch tables, playing on your phone or sitting under a tree with music playing in your ears.

You got used to this cycle, more so, this schedule of your life. You were scared to open up to another, thinking that they'll just leave as well.

But one day, this boy just showed up next to you. You never saw him before, probably because you always left school the moment the bell rang.
