Smile ~Cole x Depressed!Reader~

-Icy here! I swear Cole is on my mind so much lately! Gfafkobsrbxsyuv. I'm sorry, so so sorry. I'll write some others, I promise xD Oh and don't worry, Cole is gonna save the day. Sorry if this makes yew sad... it made me sad as I wrote it. O-O aaaand I probably suck at Cole's p.o.v. Icy out!-

COLE'S P.O.V:

'My heart tears. Hurts. Stings. Bleeds. Why must I have to choose these decisions? Either way I mess up. I'll always fail. No good. No good.'

I felt his/her hurt. I have to help, what kind of... friend would I be if I didn't? I walked upstairs to his/her room, the singing of his/her hurt was sorrowful and regretful. It even hurt me to know s/he was going through this. I enter his/her room, quietly but all is not quite. I hear soft sobs coming from the Elven/Human/Dwarf/Qunari man/lady, his/her face in his/her hands. I felt... pain in my chest. I wasn't familiar with this...it must be were I'm more human now. Enough about my pain, I must help him/her. I walk to the bed where s/he sits then put a hand on his/her shoulder, making him/her jump then look at me with red and puffy eyes that have tears escaping them. Those eyes are so pretty, but not when sad. No. But when they are okay, helped. Then they are pretty. "Cole..." s/he croaks out.

'I can't let anyone see me like this. Weak and frail, not the mighty Inquisitor I must be. I shouldn't cry, but I'm not strong. I'll never be strong. Not while I let my friends down.'

"It's okay, I'm here to help..." I said softly and hugged him/her. A weird tingly feeling overthrew the pain in my chest when I felt his/her arms wrap around me. "Cole...I-It's fine... you don't have to help. I'll be fine."
S/he said, again in that scratchy voice from crying.

'Lies. It'll never be fine, will it? I'm not sure, but I feel... a little bit better with his arms around me. I feel safe. Like I'm accepted. No. Lies. The pain is too much... I fail no matter what. I fail my friends. I just need to be stronger. I don't need help.'

"No. Please, let me help," I whispered, so I didn't sound mean. "I want to help. It hurts me to see you like this." S/he squeezed me tightly and s/he shook, trying to hold back tears then I lifted his/her face so s/he would look at me. "You are not weak, you do not let us down. You are the most amazing person I've ever got to know, though I've only known few people, I know that there is something about you I...." I searched for a word, then I remembered the word for the feeling I was feeling. Love. "I love..." I finished and s/he sniffed. "I-I.... thank you, Cole... that means a lot..." s/he said quietly. "I'm glad I helped, but you need to smile. I don't like when you frown or when you're sad." I said softly, still trying to sound comforting. "I don't think I can..." s/he admitted.

'My heart flutters, he cares. He actually cares about me. A dirty dog like me. I....I love him. I'll never have him, though. No one wants a failure. Not even Cole, the man that cares.'

Something in me made me lean in and plant my lips on his/her forehead. Was it because my heart fluttered too? I don't know why, but it felt good to do it. It felt good to him/her, too.

S/he smiled.

And I was happy.

-Icy here! I made up the 'S/he smiled, and I was happy.' When I was talking about my friend smiling xD I dunno but I wrote this whole one shot around that quote I made up. Hope you enjoyed and Icy out!-
