Minas POV

Living Room

"Tzuyu?".

She looked at me.

"I have true feelings for you. I like you, Tzuyu and you'll listen to me this time".

"Mina, you can't... I can't. You can't. You've seen it", she said still in denial about herself.

"I don't care!", I blurted out, unable to keep the frustration from my voice.

"Okay, I don't care that you have schizophrenia. I told you I'd always be there for you, and I meant it. Your condition doesn't scare me, Tzuyu. You don't scare me".

"You should be scared! I don't even know what I'm doing sometimes. What if next time I hurt you worse? Or I never get better and things go bad. What if.."

"I don't care about the what ifs. I care about you. I want you, Tzuyu, and I'm not going to run away just because things are hard", I said.

"No, Mina. You can't. You don't know what you're getting into. I'm not... I'm not good for you".

"You're lying to protect me, but I don't need protecting, Tzuyu. I need you to be honest with me, you don't decided your not good for me i decided that".

"I'm not lying", she said.

"Yes, you are,. I know you have feelings for me, too. I see the way you look at me, the way you care about me. How you get jealous of other people. Don't push me away just because you're scared. You like me too. You do".

"Mina... I can't. I can't risk it. I can't risk hurting you".

"You won't hurt me. You don't have to protect me from yourself, Tzuyu. Let me in. Let me be there for you", I said.

"I'm scared of what I might do. I'm scared of losing control and never being able to come back. Letting it all consume me. Just let me protect you from myself".

I stepped closer, my hand sliding up to cup her cheek gently.

"You don't have to do this alone anymore. Let me help you. Let me be with you. Let me be the one to always pull you out. I will never let it consume you. You will fight it for us".

Tzuyu closed her eyes, leaning into my touch as if she was too tired to fight anymore.

"I don't deserve you"

"Yes, you do. You deserve to be loved, Tzuyu. And I want to be the one to love you", I said.

Her eyes fluttered open and slowly but hesitantly, she reached up and covered my hand with hers, holding on like I was her lifeline.

"Are you sure?".

"More than anything tzuyu".

"I like you too... too much", she said.

I smiled and softly pressed my lips against hers.
