I'll wait for you, we'll sit together by the sea
And holding your hand I will be able to walk
And although my life will pass I will wait for you
I know in your eyes there is still love
And your look says "I'll come back"
And although my life will pass I will wait for you

NATSUO TOOK IN A SHAKY BREATH, hands weak as the papers in his hands slipped through. Of course. His brows knitted in frustration and he looked up at you. You were silent, arms wrapped around your figure in an attempt to console yourself. His lips were pursed and he swallowed harshly before speaking.

"I know it's not the best time, but I really do—"

"—no." Your eyes were soft, showcasing how damaged you were. He didn't need to stare at them for long to know that there was nothing but love in your eyes. You could never get angry at him, but you always got upset over his actions. And here he was being an idiot and asking you for more money for his own selfish desires.

His goal was to become a doctor, so why was he even thinking of dragging you into it now? He clung onto you like some kind of forlorn piggybank, begging you for loans when you were already at your lowest. You struggled to pay your own car insurance and these days, you ended up selling your personal items to afford the rent of your shared apartment.

How could he be so stupid? With regret in his heart, he flitted his eyes elsewhere, not even feeling worthy of looking at you.

Without knowing of the countdown I think
That even though I haven't been the same and I confess it
I hope you have forgiveness in your mind and I pray to you
But although I'm sincere, and I promise, you don't look back
Then you open the door and I say "If you leave, don't come back"

He watched you slowly purse your lips, his head tilting down again as you appeared in his vision and then disappeared. Footsteps soon followed and he could hear the faint sound of a zipper, his heart thumping in his chest. Realization hit him and he could feel himself tense, wanting to go upstairs and confront you again.

He wanted to tell you that it'd be okay.

He wanted to apologize for treating you so poorly.

The rage consumes me as you cry
You walk away and my life collapses without me knowing
I swear to you, I didn't know and knowing it things would be different

He watched you drag a bag towards the door. You slipped your shoes on without another word and his words got caught in his throat, anger replacing his sympathy. Natsuo scowled bitterly yet he knew he'd hate himself for it later. Why would he be so mad at someone who had given him nothing but the best?

Was it wrong for someone who was so selfless to be selfish for once?

Natsuo had forgotten the threshold of survival; the one that helped tell people what was healthy and unhealthy. He was dangerously unhealthy and he was going to drag you into it, so you made the call. You had hit your limit and for your safety, you had pulled away. And now, his one and only rock through all of his misery was leaving him.

The one he had selfishly abused up until this point was done.

So, how dare he be angry?

"If you leave," He took in a breath before hissing quietly at you. "Don't come back."
