Right after Mafu went home, Rib spent his time doing assignments, checking up with his friends, and lazing around. He had expected Soraru to come back at night, but the door bursts open, revealing the young man, tears streaming down his face as he ran into Rib's room, the door locking behind him. Rib blinked, his brain working hard to process this, before he ran to the door.

"babe," he says softly, knocking on the door as he presses an ear to the door. He could hear Soraru crying, and it broke his heart all over again. "babe, come on, let me in," he turned the doorknob, but it was locked. He could hear the other saying "go away, please-" before crying again, and Rib closes his eyes for a moment.

He rushes into the bathroom, searching through the boxes and pulling the box containing the room's keys. He searched through it, and took the said keys, unlocking the door with a click.

"hey, babe," he says softly, laying a hand against Soraru's cheek. He wiped the tears away gently with a hand, before opening his arms wide. "come on," was all he said before Soraru curled into his chest, sobs racking his body. "do you wanna tell me what happened?" "l-later-" Soraru managed out, before he closes his eyes, lips pressed together to avoid sobbing.

Rib ran a hand through his hair, gazing outside the window. "I'll go cook something for you?" he murmurs, but Soraru shook his head, his hands curling around Rib's sweater. "I'm sc-scared-" he cried, and Rib pulled away to look at Soraru. "oh my god-" Rib ran a hand down the other's sweater.

Soraru's sweater was stained with the telltale colour and scent of coffee, and the ribbon was slightly ripped. His hair was messy, almost as if someone pulled at it, and his trousers are dirtied. "no, don't look at me!" he wailed, and buried his head into Rib's chest. "sora-" the older sighs, kissing Soraru's forehead and he tightened his hold on him.

"let's get you changed, yeah?" he asks, and Soraru nodded a little. Soraru got to his feet, teetering a little and Rib braced him gently. He helped Soraru change into more comfortable clothes, before he ducked him back into the bed. "c'mon baby, get some sleep, okay?" he whispered, and proceeded to stay there until Soraru falls asleep.
