Yatos POV

I couldn't sleep, I lay awake trying to ignore the throbbing pain spreading across my chest. It was Yukine, Was he asleep? Perhaps a bad dream? I need him to talk to me, entrust me with his fears and worries. How am I spose to help him if he doesn't trust me..

A flash of lighten interrupted my train of thought as darkness flooded the room.
My eyes still adjusting to the sudden loss of light I gazed in the direction of Yukine.
'Yu-' I mouthed before clutching my chest in agony. The pain was rapidly increasing, Yukine was awake, he was afraid and I needed to help him.

'Yukine?' I whispered from my futon as I tried to suppress the throbbing pain. 'Yukine, you ok?' I called again but still received no response.
Taking a deep breath and preparing for the impending pain, I crawled over to Yukine.
When I reached his bed I spoke his name once more, but more silence followed.
Placing my hand on the corner of Yukine futon I heard a light sniffle. Yukine? Was he ..crying..
I immediately lifted the futon only to confirm my fears. There he was, curled up in a ball, eyes red with tears streaming down his face.
'Yuk-' my voice crack as he glanced up at me. His tear filled tangerine eyes staring into mine, he looked relieved.

'Yukine, move over a bit..' i mumbled.
With the state Yukine was in right now, I knew he wouldn't refuse me. Without any hesitation he shuffled over and I slid in next to him.
Even though I could feel how shaken up He was, it still surprised me that he didn't try to pretend to be fine and reject my help. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he didn't but this isn't like him.
Wrapping my arms around Yukines shoulder and waist I pulled him closer. His small hands rested on my chest, only to grip my t-shirt whenever the thunder grumbled.

I lay awake until I felt Yukine's body relax against mine. The storm had subsided and he was finally able to relax and get some sleep.
As I began to drift off I could feel the rise and fall of Yukine's chest under my arm, his warm breath brushing against my collar bone. As dawn began to break through the night sky , I looked down at him as he lay there sleeping silently, his eyes lids still red from his tears.
Closing my eyes I began to drift off to sleep.
Sweet dreams Yukine.
