i sat in coco's room as she finished her assignment,
"thank you so much y/n for helping" she thanked me as i smiled at her,
"it was the least i could do" i replied as she submitted it and turned around to look at me, "wonder what ruel's doing" she said,
"me too" i said, just three seconds later we both heard someone coming up the stairs, dragging their feet along the carpet. their footsteps stopped as they came to coco's door, the knob turned as the door opened revealing a very sad ruel,
"can i have y/n for a sec please" he said, his voice very croaky,
"sure sure, she's all yours" coco replied as i got up. we both looked at each other with wide eyes as i went over to him. ruel gently wrapped his arm around my shoulder as he pushed me towards his room.
wtf was he doing
as we got inside his room ruel sat on his bed as i closed his door, once i had turned around all i could hear was his quiet sobs,
"ruel?" i asked as i started to become very worried, i sat down next to him on the bed as he enveloped me into a hug, softly crying into my shoulder. i rubbed his back as he broke down in my arms, my jumper now having a wet patch but that was the least of my concerns. i traced circles into his back as his breathing got faster and faster making him pull away from me,
his eyes full of pain and tears and his mouth slightly ajar making me crumble. i put my hands on his shoulders as i told him to take deep breathes,
"do you need me to get you anything?" i asked quietly, ruel looked at me and shook his head as his fast breathing continued. eventually he slowed down and rested his head on my shoulder, still sobbing. my heart absolutely shattered as i held him. i heard slight knocking at the door to see kate, ruel's mum on the other side, she covered her mouth as she looked at her broken son,
"what's happened?" she asked as she went over to the both of us and sat on the opposite side of him,
"i don't know" i sighed as ruel leant more into my shoulder. kate got up after a few minutes to help ralph start the dinner, ruel looked up at me as soon as she closed the door,
"everything's stressful, i'm sorry for putting this all on you. but you're the only one that can help." he spoke, i rubbed his back and smiled sadly down at him,
"no matter how bad things are going to get, you're going to survive them at the end of the day. these things won't kill you and in a year things will get better. you just have to hold on"
ruel sighed as he pulled me down onto the bed with him,
"i'm hungry" he said as i laughed,
"of course you are"
LOL IK THIS IS SHORT BUT ILY GUYS
