Hold Me Please {A Zane~Chan/Zana Oneshot}

Hold Me Please

My dear sister LotusNinja14...this one is for you. X3

♡♡♡

The last thing Nana was expecting to hear when she wandered out that night was the sound of sniffling. Much less sniffling so close to her potential boyfriend's room.

Yet there it was. No matter how much the culprit tried to keep it hidden she could hear it clear as day. And the gentle but desperate sound did nothing less than raise her concern.

Was that actually Zane? HER Zane?

What happened?

Was he crying?

Was he sick?

Why was he trying to hide it?

Was there anything she could do to help?

Would he even WANT her to do something help?

Seeing as he's trying so hard to keep it hidden perhaps he didn't...but a good potential girlfriend would want to at least try right?

Right?

These questions raced around Nana's mind over and over as she idled in front of Zane's door; thinking through her options as she pondered on what to do.

It didn't take long before a subtle but distinct gasp for air was heard. As if the subject was running a marathon and were attempting to catch their breath. It wasn't long after before the sniffling started again alongside the sound of quiet sobs.

Yep...they were definitely crying.

And whether it was Zane or not, Nana knew for a fact she wasn't going back to bed until she helped resolve the problem. It just wasn't going to happen.

So without missing a beat, Nana found herself opening the door; slowly as to not give a hint to her presence with an obnoxious, loud squeak.

One peek inside gave her all the information she needed. Though the sight was borderline heartbreaking to see.

Zane was curled up in a fetal position in the middle of his bed; shaking violently as his painful cries now filled the air more clearly. His blanket was wrapped around his waist as if it were a serpent and he was clinging to an end of it like a lifeline. His lack of a mask gave a perfect view of the tears cascading down his freckled cheeks as well as the clenching of his teeth as the gut-wrenching sobbing session continued.

Nana could tell from the scattered pillows and an abandoned Pinkie Cake plush that he was likely tossing and turning for awhile before he wound up in this position. How he got into this position to begin with was still left to be said.

A nightmare perhaps?

There was only one real way to be sure...

"Zane?" she finally spoke up.

Zane's form seemed to stiffen in alarm a moment before he wiped at his eyes and sat up. He took a moment to push the blanket off of himself and pull his mask back over his mouth before turning to face Nana, his eyes widening only slightly at the sight of her presence. He allowed a few more sniffles to escape before he finally spoke.

"N-Nana? I uh...what are you...doing here?" he asked, his voice extremely hoarse from all the crying he had done.

"I came to see you." Nana said softly.

"I could hear you from out in the hall and it sounded like you needed someone..."

Zane's eyes widened in shock.
