We talked today.

He opened up about his past.

His half siblings were exiled from the family when he had become the heir.

He missed them every day, he said.

I hugged him.

He cried.

I let him.

Don't worry, I'll always be by your side, I said.

We went back to my room.

He fell asleep crying on my bed.

He probably hadn't told anyone about his family before.

I took off his glasses, wiped his tears, and tucked him in.

I hesitated.

I kissed him on the cheek.

I swear he smiled a little bit.

I sighed and went to sleep.

When I woke up, he was still right next to me.

I got up and got ready.

He kept sleeping.

I left him a note as I left.

Good morning.
I love you.
Love, Makoto.

Said the note.

I quickly scribbled out the 'I love you'.

He couldn't know.

I closed the door quietly and left.
