I was sitting in class, trying to focus on the lesson, but everything felt heavy and overwhelming. It was like a dark cloud had settled over me, making it hard to breathe. My chest tightened, and no matter how much I tried to push it away, the sadness kept creeping in.

When the bell rang, signaling the end of the period, I quickly gathered my things, trying to avoid drawing attention to myself. I didn't want anyone to see how close I was to breaking down. I headed out of the classroom and, as soon as I was out of sight, I veered into a nearby hallway, one that was usually empty.

I sank down against the wall, tears already streaming down my face before I even realized it. The hall was dimly lit and silent, but the darkness didn't offer any comfort. It felt like everything inside me was unraveling all at once, and I couldn't seem to hold it together.

I buried my face in my hands, trying to muffle the sobs that shook my body. The sadness felt so intense, it was like I was drowning in it. I didn't even notice someone approaching until I heard footsteps and a voice called out gently.

"Hey, are you okay?"

I looked up to see C/N standing there, his expression a mix of concern and confusion. His usual confidence was replaced with a softer, more genuine demeanor. I tried to speak, to tell him what was wrong, but no words came out—just a choked sob that made it clear I was far from okay.

C/N didn't wait for me to explain. He stepped closer, his eyes never leaving mine, and then he simply wrapped his arms around me. His embrace was warm and comforting, an unexpected solace in the midst of my emotional storm. He held me tight, not saying anything, but his presence alone was enough to make me feel less alone.

I clung to him, the tears flowing freely now, and let myself be held. I could feel the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against my cheek, a calming counterpoint to the chaos inside me. I took comfort in the fact that he was here, that he cared enough to just be with me in this moment.

After a while, the intensity of my crying began to fade, though the sadness still lingered. C/N didn't let go, his arms securely wrapped around me as if he was trying to shield me from the pain. It was a quiet, reassuring presence, one that made me feel like maybe things would be okay, even if just for today.

"Do you want to talk about it?" he finally asked, his voice soft and gentle.

I shook my head, not ready to put my feelings into words just yet. "Not right now," I managed to whisper. "Just... thank you."

He nodded, giving me a reassuring squeeze. "Whenever you're ready, I'm here. No rush."

With his arms around me, I started to feel a bit more grounded, like maybe I could face whatever was making me so sad. For now, I was just grateful for his presence, and for once, I didn't have to pretend everything was fine.

I stayed wrapped in C/N's embrace, trying to calm my breathing. The comfort of his presence was a balm to my frayed nerves. Slowly, the overwhelming sadness began to shift into something more manageable, and I found myself wanting to share what had brought me to this point.

"C/N," I finally said, my voice trembling slightly. "It's just... everything feels so heavy right now. It's been hard to keep up with everything. School, work... and I feel like I'm just not handling it well."

I felt a fresh wave of tears threaten to break through, but I fought to keep my voice steady. "I try to stay strong and keep it together, but sometimes, it just all hits me at once. Today was one of those days."

C/N shifted slightly, pulling me a bit closer. "I'm really sorry you're going through this," he said softly. "It must be incredibly tough to deal with all of that on top of everything else."

I nodded, the tears coming a little faster now. "Yeah. It feels like I'm constantly on edge. I keep trying to put on a brave face, but it's exhausting. I don't know how much more I can take sometimes."

He stroked my back gently, his touch soothing. "You don't have to be brave all the time. It's okay to feel overwhelmed. And you don't have to go through it alone. If you need someone to talk to or just someone to be here, I'm here for you."

I took a deep breath, the sincerity in his voice comforting me. "Thanks," I whispered. "It means a lot to hear that. I didn't realize how much I needed to talk about it until now."

C/N nodded, giving me a reassuring smile. "Anytime. Whenever you need to talk or just need someone to be there, I'm here."

For a while, we stayed like that, me leaning against him and him holding me, letting the moment of vulnerability pass. It felt good to share the weight I'd been carrying, and I was grateful for C/N's unexpected kindness. As my tears began to subside, I felt a bit lighter, the burden of my worries made a little easier to bear with him by my side.
