Striding inside with a knocked out [y/n] in his arms while carrying her like a princess, Chifuyu released a sigh of utter relief to see that no one was around. "Sorry for the intrusion..."
He would say before walking up the stairs, step by step, careful so the girl in his arms wouldn't find any discomfort with the way he carried her.

His arms were tight around her, holding her protectively as if not wanting a single thing to harm her pure soul.

When he settled her down on her bed in her room, he pursed his lips and looked at her with a worried expression. It was his fault [y/n] ended up being kidnapped along with him and the other guys.

Chifuyu knew more than anyone that he should have made his answer final with a; 'No, you can't come', but he was way weak for her. How could he look the other way when she needed him by her side the most?

They told each other they'd bring Ryusei back.
But all Ryusei did was slip away from their hands.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, [y/n] had regained consciousness, pulling on his sleeve. "Don't leave... Please stay, Fuyu..."

His face brightened at the sight, red and full of flush at the nickname. He wanted to say something but swallowed his words and sat down on the bed, only for her to throw herself at him and wrap her arms around his body— his own hands hesitating before also bringing the girl he loves close for a hug.

Relishing in Chifuyu's embrace is all a lonely girl like [y/n] could do.
He cured that hole in her heart that could be constantly caused by everyone around her.

That's how it has been lately, [Y/n] seeing Chifuyu right in front of her and circling her arms around him to the point of no return.
And Chifuyu would comply, no questions asked.

He enjoyed coddling her more than anything in the world.

Because she's pretty when she cries. Even in his arms.

He'd embrace every tear that would dare to fall from her eye; wiping them away while soothing her by rubbing in patterns on her back.

Feeling as if she was asking too much of Chifuyu, she decided to pull away for a second, using her hands to wipe all of the remaining tears that threatened to fall further.

So where was this going?

It reminded her that Chifuyu would have to go and fight next week late at night to bring her big brother back, and it ached. It made her heart feel heavier than ever.

"Shhh..." Chifuyu cupped her pretty face in his hands, brushing his right thumb to dry her tearful eyes.

He was desperate to show her some kind of affection, to press a kiss on her temple and tell her that it would be okay. But he didn't want to scare her away. "What's worrying you so much, [Y/n]? I told you, I'll bring Ryusei back."
