Shicca Week 2020

Day 2: Comfort

Rebecca's POV
I sat in the lush meadow, wilted flowers surrounding me. My head faced the ground, my eyes squinted shut, forcing tears to stay behind the walls of my heart.

I kill everything I touch, it's a fact.

I'm alone.

I felt something touch my head, a crown of sorts. Startled by the sudden touch, I looked up.

There Shiki sat, crossed legged and smiling at me. He placed a blue flower crown atop my head.

And it didn't wilt.

My eyes welled with tears, tears that I couldn't stop.

Tears of joy.

I jumped into his arms, wrapping him into a tight embrace, praying to god he didn't wilt under my touch.
"Thank you." I whispered as tears ran down his back.

"You're welcome."
