Scars & Ribbons (Shiro X Male!Reader)

A/N: This fanfic discusses self harming topics and suicidal topics. If this upsets you please feel free to skip the chapter.

You lay still, tears spilling from your eyes and falling onto your pillow. You were having the same horrid thoughts. Reminders.

'Your pathetic. Annoying. Unloved. Unsightly. Irritate everyone around you. A burden. They "like" you out of pity. Everyone hates you. They'll be better if you disappeared. No one wants you around. Just die already.'

You would try EVER so hard to think off something else. Every time, you'd fail. You always would return to those thoughts. That's when it began. That's why it began. The slicing. Cutting. You would: Cut, Bleed, Clean, cover up as if it never happened then repeat.

You were walking around the castle heading to your best friend's, Takashi Shirogane, room. He's always been there for you. Through the rain and shine. Protected you from the pain, and was one of the reasons you stopped your harm.

~Takashi's PoV~

Now I'm pissed! Keith and Lance were at each others throats, Pidge & Allura screaming at each other about Pidge's work on the lions, and both Coran and Hunk hiding under the table. They were screaming so loud that I heard it from my room, on the other side of the castle. "ALL OF YOU STOP!! NOW!!" I yelled, anger evident in my voice. "Wait here until I return." I say heading towards the door.

"B-Bu-" They all tried protesting. I turned and gave them one threatening glare before heading to my room to calm down. I entered the room and lay straight onto my bed trying to dissimulate and calm down. "Knock, knock." I hear as someone knocks on my door. I groan before yelling, "LEAVE ME ALONE!" and opened the door. I saw (Y/N) standing there looking hurt and shocked before walking off. 'Oh no!' is all I think as I run after him.

~Your PoV~

'Shiro's mad at me. Did I do something? Did I hurt him? Does he hate me? Is our friendship fake? Is he like everyone else?' I question, as I ignore the yelling behind me and enter my room, locking the door behind me. "Cut! CUt! CUT!" was continuously chanted in my head as I enter my bathroom. CLICK went the door, and with that, I proceeded to take out a blade and start cutting near the scars on my arms, wrists, thighs and stomach. SLICE. SLICE. SLICE. I got up and start heading to the lounge area. My e/c eyes saw Shiro waiting outside and saw how worried and concerned he was. I softly smile at him and begin to walk away. His soft and warm, human, hand wraps around my wrist causing me to wince. His eyes widen before saddening.

"I am so sorry. I-I-I didn't mean to shout at you. The others really got to me and annoyed me to no extent. I was angry and I lashed out on you and I didn't mean to. C-can you forgive me and let me help clean them for you. You are an amazing person and I love you so much. I should of helped you and listened to you but I ended up yelling at you and making you upset. I'm so so sorry Y/N." Shiro began.

~Third person POV~

He felt terrible. He accidently caused so much pain and now the guilt is eating him. Y/N never wanted for Shiro to see him in the state he was in. Y/N let the tears go and started to sob. Everyone in the dining hall could hear and sadness washed over them. Shiro pulled the, slightly shorter, male into a tight and loving hug. He felt the man nod is head and before he knew it, Y/N was lifted from the ground. The robotic armed man took his best friend, and his crush, to the bathroom and started cleaning his wounds.

After he finished, the shorter male wrapped his arms around the other's chest and held onto him for dear life. He never wanted to let go. He was the greatest friend and was always there for him. He always was there to listen to him. He would be ready to listen to him. He'd never judge and would protect him with his dear life. All his stress and issues melt away knowing someone cares. He's the ribbon that is tied around the smaller male and keeps him together. Y/N couldn't believe that he thought otherwise about him. He'd never hurt the man.

~Shiro's POV~

Now was my chance to talk to him. My best friend who helped me through everything. The restless nights he had to help me sleep when I'd have a nightmare. He meant the world to me and I would be stupid to not ask him to go out with me.
