He looked at me, those amber eyes staring deeply into mine from across the room. They held longing and intent. He wanted me, at least I hoped.
He was stressed, I could tell. Something to take his mind of it? Maybe. Walking over to him hugging the fire ninja with all my might, maybe not but felt like it. He tensed up, but hugged me back. Only to return the gesture.
"What's wrong," I ask my voice softer than usual
"Everything," he only uttered
Digging his head further into my neck. Seeking comfort? I hug him for as long as he wanted, as long as he needed. He didn't let go.
Now I was in his room, comforting him. Everything so stressful, he just needed to relax. He didn't cry, no he wouldn't. Kai continuously put on a brave face for us all. I knew he was hurting deep inside, but he'd never show that. He was kai, too entitled to show emotion. But that was just an act. A wall he set up to barricade himself away from all the pain the hurt. pushing him away from us, from me.
However I could see that wall coming down before my eyes. His breathing hitched. He was not okay. The pressure finally slipping. Someone to take his mind off it? He needed me, my reassurance.
"It's okay to cry,"
He breathing fell silent, in my arms. He could never let out his tears, he needed to. They held him back. But he was cracking, I could tell. Under the pressure his breathing peaked. Trying not to cry.
Holding his face up, I forced him to look at me. His teary eyes locked onto mine. He wanted to cry, I could see it in his eyes. He couldn't.
"Kai let your tears fall, no one's around but me."
He couldn't. A final push? Moving closer to kai, planting a kiss on the bridge of his nose and one on his forehead. He welled.
For the first time in years, he let go. His silent sobs filling the room. They echoed. Rubbing his back to reassure him. Everything was going to be okay. I knew it. I wanted him to know too.
He hugged me tighter. Breaking from my grip, his head now in my chest. Not letting go. I didn't want him too. He was not okay, but hopefully soon he will be.
