It was happening again. Your boyfriend woke up in the middle of the night, breathing heavily and tears collecting in the corner of his eyes.
You didn't say a word but you looked at him, the sight broke you. He looked so vulnerable at that moment, he was panting and a worry look etched across his face.
Tenderly, you reached up to stroke the side of his face, attempting to calm him down again. He gave you a pitiful look before removing your hand like he always did.
"Aaron, Are you alright?", You quietly asked him even though you knew the answer.
"I'm fine. Go back to bed"
His answer hurt you every time, you knew he wasn't fine but you couldn't press him for answers without pushing him away. Sighing, you laid back down and tried to go back to bed.
Aaron laid awake all night.
These nightmares, these fits of weakness and panting. The moment he looked the most distant and emotional, where he didn't even tell you what was wrong. These situations have been going on for days and you couldn't fathom what was wrong with him.
The mornings were worse though. Aaron just acted so awkward. He had bags under his eyes and walked around like a living zombie.
Today was no different.
He sat on the couch, looking at the window with a gaze of sorrow. He hardly moved except to take a sip of orange juice.
You approached him and sat by his side, smiling widely at him. "How did you sleep?", you knew he would lie but you still asked for a hope that he would tell the truth.
Aaron flinched but he replied, "I slept fine." You reached for his hand and squeezed it reassuringly, "That's good".
The rest of the morning was fine, Aaron calmed down and ended up leaving for work. You had kissed him goodbye before getting ready to go to your own job.
Arriving at the entrance of the Kawaii Treat Sweets Cafe, you pushed the door open and glanced around.
A familiar pink haired meif'wa was waving you over, smiling brightly at you. Next to her was a male with one eye. You knew the girl well but the boy was still a mystery to you.
Taking a deep breath, you approached them with a false smile. "Kawaii-chan! How are you?"
She pratically squealed and was shaking with delight, "Ah, (y/n)-chan!! You made it! Kawaii-chan was worried you were gonna be late again".
The boy next to her snorted, "She has been coming late this past week".
You sighed softly, "I apologize for coming in late. I have been encountering some issues-"
Kawaii-chan quickly cut you off, "Is it about Aaron-kun?".
You froze for a second before nodding, it was better to get this off your chest then bottle it all in. "Yeah. He's been acting weird lately"
The meif'wa grabbed your hand excitedly, "Kawaii-chan just has to know whats going on, Go sit down (y/n)-chan and I'll get us some sweets".
Confused at her sudden proposal, you slowly nodded and watched her run off. Waving bye to the boy, you looked around for a seat. Choosing the one farthest from the entrance, you settled down and waited for your friend.
Kawaii-chan came running to the table, setting down your favorite dessert in front of you and placing a cupcake down for herself.
Taking her seat, she looked at you intensely and asked, "So what exactly has been going on between (y/n)-chan and Aaron-kun?".
Taking a deep breath, you began to explain the fits Aaron has been having in the middle of the night. You spoke of his tear stained face, heaving breathing and worried look. Fiddling with your fingers, you spoke of the awkward mornings between the two of you.
Kawaii-chan was a great listener and made no attempt to interrupt you until you finished. Seeing as you were finished, she spoke up, "Kawaii-chan thinks that Aaron-kun is keeping a secret from (y/n)-chan! You should ask him about it".
You wanted to ask him but would he really answer? You decided at that moment that when you got home, you would ask him until he answered. It was better for you to know than to not know.
After you finished your work, you walked out and drove to your shared house with Aaron. Feeling a surge of confidence rush through you, you opened the door.
Upon entering your house, you noticed Aaron watching television. His gaze turned to you and he the corners of his mouth turned upward. "Welcome home babe"
You didn't respond instead you turned the television off and sat next to Aaron. He flashed you a confused look, "Is something wrong-"
"Aaron, What's wrong with you?", You asked him.
He froze and shook his head, "I'm fine. I'm fine". You furrowed your brows at his response and pressed him further, "You aren't fine. You've been having nightmares"
"They're just nightmares. Don't worry"
Tears started streaming down your face and you half screamed at him, "You can't just tell me not to worry! Tell me what's wrong..Aaron, Please".
He looked at your teary face and his heart dropped, he couldn't stand to see you this way. Reaching up to cup your face, he stared at you pitifully.
"Will you be satisfied if I tell you?", He questioned with a crack in his voice. He was close to tears as well. You just nodded and waited for his answer.
His hands became sweaty and he started breathing heavily, "I- I'm...I am a..." he couldn't stammer out anything while looking at your sorrowful.
Pulling you into a hug, he rested his head against your shoulder. "I'm an Ultima" he murmured into your ear.
Your body froze in his arms, this had to be a lie. There was no way he could be a werewolf, an Ultima even. That was just impossible, Ultima's didn't exist..Right?
"A-Aaron. You're lying right? This is a joke-"
Before you knew it, he was crying against your shoulder. His sniffles filled your ears as he responded, "I wish it was a joke. I wish so badly for it to be a joke but it's not. I'm an Ultima". He held you tighter in his arms.
"I'm a monster. A bloody monster who could harm you just by looking at you and...And I know you don't want to be with me anymore"
You're heart shattered as he claimed himself to be a monster, you stroked his hair slowly and whispered, "Aaron".
Leaving a small kiss on the side of his temple, you told him the truth. "Aaron, I love you so much. I could never leave you because I know you aren't a monster. I don't believe that you'll hurt me"
He sniffed weakly into your shoulder, "You shouldn't trust me so easily.." he muttered and buried his head into your neck.
"I will always love and trust you Aaron", Your quiet response brought him more joy than anyone could imagine.
He held you in his arms and for the rest of the night, you both basked in the silence of your the confession.
