Rains little secret

4-Who are "They"

I don't know if I like this chapter but let me know what you guys think

Payus POV
I had to take moment to consider how I was going to react to this situation because Rain was fragile right now one wrong word and it could seem like I don't accept him or don't love him or that I'm leaving him. I know he likes affection so I figure that may be my best option "baby who are They" I try to make my voice as soft as possible so that I don't startle him. It seems to work as I can see him contemplating whether or not to answer I was gonna try to reassure him that it's okay but I decided not to to push him.

Rains POV
"Baby who are they" I am trying to figure out what to say now should I tell him everything and risk him realizing I'm not the sweet boy he thinks I am. I am not as good or as perfect I'm not someone who deserves to be by his side. I don't know what to do. I sit there thinking and I feel his hand start to gently rub circles on my back. Okay Rain. You told Sky. Sky accepted you tears and all P'Payu will to. "M-my parents" I dont force myself to talk any louder than a whisper right now that's all I can manage and I know he can hear me I don't dare look up and see what his expression is.

Payus POV

He begins shaking so I start to rub soft circles on his back he still sits there quiet lost in his thoughts and I'm okay with that he needs time to think and figure out how to respond I needed the same thing. I was sitting there for about Seven minutes before I finally heard something barely audible "M-my parents" my eyes widened in shock the people who came before me who were supposed to love him just as unconditionally as I did were willing to hurt him like this!? I couldn't believe it. He didn't look up at me and that was good it gave me time to regain my composure. "Rain, my love are they the reason you were so scared to tell me" I had to put all my effort into keeping my voice even I already know the answer but I need him to say it I need him to talk to me and to be able to get everything off his chest. "Y-yes" he says just as quietly as before.

Rains POV
He was silent for longer than I expected and that scared me but I didn't have time to think about it because he finally spoke "Rain, my love are they the reason you were so scared to tell me" My love- he still loves me that's right Rain of course he does listening to his voice I could tell how hard he was trying to be okay for me right now. I need to try.. for him. "Y-yes" it was still quiet but I was trying. "Can you tell me why baby, can you tell me what happened if not that is okay I will completely understand" he was so understanding of me. He always has been. So why am I so scared this is the same person that threw away all of his pride and bowed to stop and let himself get hurt over and over to protect me. He wouldn't hurt me. "Mhm I can t-try to" he was different. I heard him respond with "That's more than enough thank you for being willing to try my sweet boy" and I knew I was right. He loves me. Ita gonna be okay.

Payus POV
I already knew the answer so hearing a soft yes as confirmation didn't come as much of a surprise "Can you tell me why baby, can you tell me what happened if not that is okay I will completely understand" I made sure to reassure him that if he wasn't ready that was okay and I would not be mad. Knowing him had I not said that he would have felt bad if he wasn't ready and would have beat himself up about it."Mhm I can t-try to" his answer pulled me out of my thoughts and I had to be sure to encourage him knowing once again that of I didn't he would get insecure and start overthinking "That's more than enough thank you for being willing to try my sweet boy" "but first can we just c-cuddle for a bit" he asked looking up at me timidly "of course we can" and for the first time since I had been home I smiled as my sweet boy resituated so he was straddling my lap and buried his face into the crook of my neck I felt his heartbeat start to slow down as he relaxed into me
