Sickness like a thorn {DISCONTINUED} (RuiKasa angst)

Chapter 3: Worry and Agony

Rui POV:

What was that? That just now? He answered the phone. It was normal at first and after he talked with the person something...changed.

"Tsu, are you OK?"

"Hm? Wh-why would I not be? I'm fine! Just like a Star would!"

He didn't say that in the tone of voice I expected him to speak in. He sounded, hurt, worried.

"You aren't ok. Don't worry, you can tell us. We are your friends after a-"

I saw it then. Then I realised what went wrong.

The light in his eyes...

Was gone.

"Tsukasa you tell me what happened right now!"

"Ru- *sniff* -i I-"

He ran away.

"TSU! WAIT! PLEASE!"

He didn't stop. I wanted to follow him but...I think he'll need time alone.

To come back to the Tsukasa I know.

Well...Knew

"Rui? Is Tsukasa going to be OK? I'm worried for him a lot...like.... THIS MUCH"

She opens both her arms as widely as she can, clearly thinking it's not wide enough.

"Me too Emu, maybe give him some time for himself? We'll talk more about this tomorrow. Then Tell Nene"

We both look at Nene in sync, she was playing the Genshin game thing again. But was that turn on purpose? Does Emu have such great precision?-

"I heard everything you said, you don't need to explain"

"Fufu, if you say so"

"But will Tsukasa-Kun be ok???????? Can we follow him! Like those ninja's that hid behind walls and-"

"No, sorry Emu not today"

I didn't mean to lower her mood but just like I said before he needs time alone. Alone...

What type of boyfriend doesn't help the one he loves? How stupid am I?

"Emu, Nene, wait, I'll be back soon"

"Take your time, it'll be safer"

"Fufu, thank you Nene"

I run. I will find Tsukasa and help him every step of the way. Everything he's going through. Because I love him. I love him more than anything.

If I lose him....I'll be left with nothing.
