Faded Wings [Birdtale Sans x Reader]

Chapter 42- Finally Noticing

For year's you built a wall

Crack...

Your sadness drowned in its own tears

Crack...

Your happiness screamed behind a fake smile

Crack...

Your hopes bruised and beaten

Crack...

Your dreams shattered and scattered in the wind

Crack...

Shutting everything out until you were nothing

YET

CRack...

After hearing the impossible

CRAck...

"People care a lot about you, more than you think."

CRACk...

"And we're going to help you through this."

CRACK...

Even the strongest walls break

John's POV

She's crying...

She's actually crying!

Ugly sobs ripped from [Y/N]'s body as she trembled and shivered in her seat. Shaking off pieces from her steel walls and smiling mask. Tears flooding out of her once lively eyes, putting waterfalls to shame. Showing me the pain she had for all this time. Hidden in front of my very eyes each and every day. Revealing her true colors and the deepest emotions that she held back for so long.

She seems so broken...

"Shhh," I comforted her, "Let it all out." I reached out and placed my hand back onto her shoulder. Watching her violently flinch when she felt my touch. Oh, [Y/N], I thought as I slowly pulled her into my embrace. Her sobbing only grew louder as she felt the kindness and love from my hug. Burying her head into my grey sweatshirt, that I pulled on earlier this morning.

"John," a small voice said softly in front of me, making [Y/N] freeze in my arms. I pulled my attention from [Y/N], now looking at Skyla. She was biting her lip softly as she studied [Y/N]'s suddenly still form. "What's wrong with [Y/N]," Skyla asked.

"It's nothing," I told her politely as I felt [Y/N] move. I glanced at her to see her frantically wiping her tears away as well as her pain. "She's just a bit sad and needs some comfort is all," I answered with a soft smile towards Skyla. 

"[Y/N] there's no need to be sad," Skyla consoled her. Joining in our hugging session, hugging [Y/N] from behind. Making her lightly flinch upon contact, however, Skyla didn't seem to notice as she gently placed a kiss onto her back. Laying her head against [Y/N]'s shirt, quietly adding, "I love you."

I felt [Y/N] pull away from me, releasing the only kind gesture she's probably felt from someone other than Skyla. I was completely astonished when I saw her face, the girl who looked so broken was gone. [Y/N]'s face was clean, her tear stains were no longer visible and her nose was wiped. A normal and relaxed expression on her face as usual. Suddenly acting like everything is okay and she didn't just break down a couple of seconds ago.

"I love you too," [Y/N] assured her as she ruffled Skyla's hair. Making it even more of a mess than it was before, pulling out more strands from her loose bun. "I'm okay," she lied, "John and I were just talking about something that made me sad."

"What was it about," Skyla questioned looking up at [Y/N]. Eyeing her with slight worry and concern, however, it was repelled instantly. 

"Oh, it's nothing to worry about," [Y/N] claimed with a warming smile. Shining like it normally did in the cafe. "I'm fine now but," [Y/N] trailed off with a thoughtful expression. One of her hands placed underneath her chin, tapping gently above her lip. "I could use some cuddles from the greatest person of all time," she hinted as she watched Skyla with a playful smirk.
