'Life is tough my darling, but so are you.' – Stephanie Bennett Henry
Seishu pov:
"Inui," she said, tapping my shoulder. I turned to look at her, my eyes meeting hers. She looked down at her feet, cheeks flushed with the color of a rosie red. Was I making her nervous?
"Is there anything you need, (L/n)?" I asked, my voice gentle.
She swallowed hard before speaking. "I...are you okay?"
I tilted my head. Why had she asked so suddenly?
She shook her head, bringing a finger to her cheek. "The bandage... you're fine, right? Is it okay if I ask how you got it?"
I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I just got into a fight, no big deal."
She looked at me with a glow in her eyes, her mouth gaping open. She didn't move, all she did was sit there in silence, looking at me.
Confused, I waved my hand in front of her eyes, calling her name. "(L/n)? You're staring..." I said softly.
She shook her head, looking away. "Sorry, I just... I don't know. You're always so calm and collected, I guess I just never imagined you getting into a fight."
I shrugged, leaning back in my chair. "It happens sometimes. I try not to let it get to me."
She nodded, still looking a bit dazed. "I guess I just worry about you sometimes. You're always so quiet, it's hard to tell what you're thinking."
I gave her a soft smile, feeling a warmth spread through my chest. It was nice to know that someone cared about me, even if it was just a little bit. "Thanks, (L/n). That means a lot to me."
She blushed, looking away again. "It's nothing, really. I just... I don't know. I like talking to you."
I looked away as I smiled to myself, feeling a sense of happiness spread through me. Maybe things weren't so bad after all. Maybe there was someone out there who understood me, who cared about me, who wanted to be with me for who I was. And maybe, just maybe, I would find a way to be happy again.
