XV - Affection

♥︎•♥︎

[Sakusa's POV]

Love, like many things in a teenagers' lives...

is short lived.
Relationships come and go, bonds become & break, and so on and so forth. In moments like these, I can almost feel this realization dawning upon me.

I feel like when the world is still and everything around you comes together like a corny scene from a romance novel; things become bittersweet. Like now. I watch her sickly, frail frame make its way through her bedroom window, onto her roof. It's cold, chilly mostly. The breeze is cool, making my hair fall just above my eyes. I watch her, as observant as ever.

Though she was clearly ill, the beauty of her smile never quite disappeared.
Around this time last year, the thought of even finding another human being's features "attractive" would've been a repulsive thought.
So this was the cheesy shit Atsumu would lecture me about.
"Man he really is never wrong." Just like the setter promised, I did end up knowing what the feeling he kept talking about was like.

The feeling, if you're wondering, is affection.

Affection comes in different ways, for some physically, some through favors, others through teasing, or in my case, through small moments like these. The petals fell around her, basking her with a splash of color that she had been severely lacking lately. Happens to all people who are sick, they turn a ghastly shade of almost grey, which would usually be enough to make me wanna puke. 

Instead of puking however, I watched her.

"What? Ya gonna keep staring like some perv?" She finally said, the cracks in her voice couldn't hide her normally cheeky tone.

I shook my head. "No- I was just thinking."

"About?"
