SAFE AND SOUND, k. sugawara ✓

ᴅᴇᴀʀ ᴋᴏᴜsʜɪ-ᴋᴜɴ,

❁ ════ ❃✦❃ ════ ❁

In the middle of an endless, pitch black abyss, you sat there by yourself. Your thighs were pulled up to your chest and hugging your knees while your face stained of tears were dug on your kneecaps.

Not a mere sound there were able to reach to your ears. None at all, aside from the constant quiet soft whimpers and sobs you were producing.

Just like any other nights, your dream were always just an eternal pit of blackness, where you sat alone in the midst of it, bawling your eyes out.

There's nothing much difference when you're awake. Surrounded by people in a crowded place or not, there's somebody there with you or not, you still feel so isolated from the rest in any way you put it. It's been always just the same.

'There's nobody here. I'm alone in this room.'

Your arms wrapped around your legs tightened as you hiccuped, eyelids shutting close. Though, it didn't help to make it better since the tears still manage to keep seeping through.

It's so sad to think that even here in your dreamless sleep, you still can't be happy to at least forget about everything you've been going through, even on just a temporary time being.

These keeps you wondering, what did you do wrong to deserve this? Are you really not worthy to feel joy for once? Are you really not worth anything at all?'

You sniffed, fingers curling up to form a loose ball of fist. A weak wail escaped your trembling lips, mulling over the negative things that were weighing you down ever since.

'P-please, I need someone save me...'

"Hey... what's the matter?"

The sudden echo of that soothingly, smooth and honey-like gentle voice that you aren't really anticipating of to hear, 'causes you to pause on your weeping prosper.

At first, you assumed that it's just your ears simply playing stupid tricks with you. But then, you were proven wrong when you dared yourself to lift up your head and peer over your shoulder.

What you've caught with your eyes isn't really the something that you're expecting to see.

Behind you, there's a hand extended out. Your confused gaze follow where the arm limb were connected onto, only to met a pair of rich color and soft hazel brown orbs that holds a kind of gentle gleam in them.

A sight of a beautiful boy caught you off guard, bewilderedness changing into being dumbfounded as you study his face, drinking in his literal godsend appearance.

He have a light grey colored hair that seemed so soft to touch. His ethereal facial features were almost too perfect, especially with that small yet distinct beauty mark beneath his left eye. The kind of charm he possess were too much, making him look mostly more effeminate rather than handsome.

The male may be only clad in a plain white button-up polo shirt and black pants, but that insipid fact didn't hinder to bring out the highlight of his natural attractiveness.

This person before you... is probably the most beautiful human you had ever laid your eyes onto.

"Please, don't cry anymore." he told you, snapping you out of your dazed trance. "Here." he motioned his waiting outstretched hand, presenting you a gentle smile. "Take my hand."

Although a bit hesitant, you still abide on his request and grab onto the softness of his pale palm.

The very moment your touch made contact with him, a strong gust of wind blow beneath you and you close your eyes tightly out of reflex. Once you open them again, the dreary dark surrounding a second ago become tainted by a splash of colors.
