A gentle knock interrupts my spiral down the deep dark abyss called self-pity. A familiar voice yanks me up before I get heads deep in.
"Megha..." the voice whispers, softly. "Megha, may I come in?"
It's Suwahas. I don't bother to answer. The door isn't locked, and he probably can hear me sniffle as clearly as I hear him sigh. If he cares, he'll come in himself.
I close my eyes tightly, as if that will somehow stop the tears from flowing. Dumb. I'm dumb. I've always been dumb.
The door creaks open, and I hear his footsteps approaching slowly, cautiously. I want to shrink into myself, to disappear, but I can't hide from the reality.
"Hey," he says softly. "It's okay. I'm here."
"Go away, I don't want you here right now," I mumble between broken sobs.
It even pains me to speak. It even pains me to breathe.
"Why?"
"'Cause I'm in pain."
"...And?"
"And I'm not very human when I am."
I hear him chuckle. He chuckles?
My eyes snap to him, narrowing into a glare. It feels like I could rip his head off, yet he seems unfazed by my reddened eyes or my intense glare.
He pushes the blanket away and sits on the edge of the bed. The bed welcomes him, betraying my perpetual anger.
"You have to be the first person to shoo away a doctor when you're in pain."

This song just made me want to reread that specific part. I miss these two so much, but time and life just won’t let me get back to writing their story.
