The ribbon, her cat eyes and the beach [G!P] ✔️

the beginning

After a long, tiring night, the only thing any normal person would want to do was go home, get into bed, and sleep. Sleep until your body no longer belongs to you and your mind shuts down for hours and hours, until you feel rested again.

But that wasn't my case.

With what I had to do that night, I was tired, yes, but I couldn't sleep and that had already been happening to me, for several nights in a row, for several months.

There were dark circles under my eyes, I had lost weight in recent months, although I ate what I needed, my face was no longer the same as always and my sister always told me this, when I went to visit her at the hospital.

Ryujin, you look tired, are you eating well? Are you sleeping well?

Those were always her questions, but I always answered her positively, even if it wasn't true, and she smiled, managing to make me smile aswel.

But everything I was doing was for her, this whole path I had taken had been for Yuna, who was bedridden, being just a teenager, with cancer that had no cure. My mom died six years ago and my dad disappeared.

Now only I was left for her.

I didn't even know what time it was, the streets were still dark and the night was quite cold, still, I drove at high speed, without stopping for a second, to that place that I knew would be the only one that would bring a little serenity to my mind that was in chaos.

I stopped my bike on the side of the road, took off the helmet and felt the cold breeze, the sound of the waves and the soft smell of the beach, which was in complete silence and solitude, just how I liked it, just how I need it.

I left the helmet on the bike and walked to the beach, staring at the sea and the waves that danced furiously because of the wind, the completely dark water and the moon reflecting in it.

It's been so long since I've seen stars in the sky...

I took a deep breath, filling my lungs with the sea breeze and put my hands in the pockets of my jeans, looking at the sky for a few seconds, until I looked down, seeing the big red stain that was on my shirt, which I had to throw away after today.

I decided to sit, leaning my back a little on a log that was there, not so close to the shore, so I could contemplate a little of God's creation, until it was morning and I had to return home.

I stared at my hands for a few seconds and then buried them in the sand, trying to make the invisible stains on them disappear, at least for tonight, until I had to go back to work tomorrow.

After that, I closed my eyes and leaned my head back a little, leaving my mind completely blank, so, I wouldn't have to think about the things I had done, or what was happening with my sister.

I could hear the sound of the waves and the foam on the shore, that kept me calm, but I was never calm, with what I was doing every day, my mind and all my senses were always alert.

That's why I immediately opened my eyes when I heard the sound of some branches not far from where I was.

I put my hand on my hips, where I had my only 'coworker', waiting for the right moment to take it out and attack whoever was coming after me. But soon my body calmed down, when I saw that it was just a girl.

I stared at her as she walked slowly towards the seashore, wearing a white dress that reached her knees, she had orange hair and wore it half up.

I waited for her to look at me or realize that I was there, watching her, but she didn't turn to look at me and just kept walking until her feet could feel the first splash of the water and the foam up to her ankles. That's when I realized that she was barefoot.
