he held u as u cried before his eyes landed on diluc behind u. he felt his blood boil at the sight.

"is he following u?"
he asked softly, still holding u by ur arms. u hiccuped in the middle as u nodded. u turned around to look at him before u turned away again. "please make him leave.."
ur voice came out broken as u looked at scara w pleading eyes.

and at that moment, u didn't feel any sort of regret and sorrow looking into his eyes. his eyes showed genuine concern that made u feel butterflies in ur stomach, the very yearning feeling of having someone care for u.

"don't worry, I won't let him touch u...ever again"
he spoke w a demanding tone as he glared at diluc who had started to leave.

scara didn't do anything..yet, at least.

he led u back to ur dormitory room. Ajax wasn't around probably meaning he didn't come back home yet on purpose.

why did he lie to scara tho?

"as much as I hate to admit it, I'm going to ask tartaglia to take care of u"

scara said as he pulled out his phone t9 dial his number. u stopped him right there. "scara im not sick please."
ur voice was hoarse coz of crying.

ur eyes were red, the waterline drippy and ur nose runny. u just wanted to rest. "it's fine, don't disturb him" u said as u lied down on ur bed. scara put his phone back hearing u. he sighed as he plopped down next to u , lying right beside u.

u both stayed that way in a comfortable silence.

"do u want to smoke?"
he suddenly asked turning his head towards u, his eyes gave a very soft glow that u had only seem rarely.

u shook ur head no. "thanks...but no"
u declined as u turned ur head away once again.

u turned on the other side sniffling as u both stayed there, not speaking at all.
noticing u turn scara followed.

he turned towards u, facinc ur back as he wrapped his arm around u, cuddling closer into u. his face was at ur nape and u could feel his breath on ur neck.

ur breath had slightly hitched at his sudden closeness but the touch didnt feel like those times he had cuddled closer to u after sex.

it felt...different, and warm..

"go to sleep, I'll leave when ur asleep" he said as he cooed at u and caressed ur hair. u wished this would last forever tbh..

"can u stay and not leave please" u asked politely in a broken voice. ur voice still breaking even tho u tried to sound neutral.

"ur wish is my command. now sleep" he didn't even deny or protest.
he continued to caress ur hair as u drifted into slumber. when he had realized u were asleep he texted Ajax again. the message being a thank u.

Ajax who had received the message scoffed as he smoked another cigerrate. being 3rd one he had smoked that night. he didn't know what he did that.

why he lied to scaramocuhe that u were sick and he wanted him to go after u coz he was scared u might have fainted.

why he did all of this when he could've been the one to be by ur side.

love makes u do all sorts of stupid things I guess. he thought so.

he threw the cigarette down and crushed it under his feet as he walked back towards the dormitory u both resided in.

the sight he was met w wasn't very pleasant, u coddled up into scaras arms in ur bed, but he ignored the aching feeling in his chest none the less and went to bed.
