Most of the pain that Akaashi had experienced did not belong to him. Knowing someone's pain just by touching them is a gift that he chose to accept and make use of, a power that he chose to hide away. It's his silent way of helping others, until he's forced to understand that there's only so much that he can do on his own. A story in which Akaashi is an empath, who gets entangled in a mess with his captain that neither can solve on their own. Warnings: Mental unwellness, self harm, abuse, bullying, homophobia, derogatory language, vomiting.
