Three days before Christmas


Y/n POV:

Pain from the past never truly leaves you.

No matter how much you try to bury it, ignore it, or convince yourself that you've moved on, there are always moments that drag it right back to the surface. Today proved that to me.

After crashing Toman's admin meeting and walking out without giving anyone the chance to stop me, I couldn't shake the look in Mikey's eyes.

He was hurt.

I knew it.

The way he tried desperately to hold back his tears as I turned my back on him said more than words ever could. For a split second, I wanted to turn around. I wanted to run back to him, throw my arms around him, and pretend none of this ever happened.

But I didn't.

I couldn't.

Too much had happened between us.

And as much as it hurt, I knew I had made my decision.

The moment I got home, I changed out of my Black Dragons uniform and tossed it onto the chair in my room before calling Wakasa.

"Come over."

That was all I said.

A few minutes later, I slowly made my way downstairs and curled up on the couch. I wrapped a soft blanket around myself, hoping the warmth would somehow reach the numbness buried beneath my skin.

I turned on the television, hoping the noise would drown out my thoughts.

It worked.

For about five minutes.

Then everything came rushing back.

Mikey.

Toman.

Mitsuya.

Hakkai.

Taiju.

Koko.

Inui.

Everything.

Tears began sliding down my cheeks as I stared blankly at the television. The colors on the screen blurred together while the voices became nothing more than meaningless background noise.

I didn't even notice Wakasa enter the house.

It wasn't until he sat down beside me that I finally realized he was there.

I glanced at him before quickly turning my attention back toward the television.

"I just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out with me," I muttered. "I don't really have anyone else to hang out with right now."
