Cry
By LoveAnimeForever
"Nana, are you crying?" You hope that your voice sounds joking, the anxiety in your chest undetectable.
"What are you talking about? I don't have the tears for it. It's not like Ren…" She trails off, sobbing quietly into your shoulder, and you pull her closer.
You want to believe her, even now – because it means you may still have a chance to repair that shattered soul – but her voice is shaking and your shirt is damp against your skin, and you regret. Regret letting her go, when you knew she was so fragile; Regret letting him win, when you knew he was so callous; Regret letting yourself lose, when you knew you would have been better for her… Regret ever falling in love with her, when you knew it was a hopeless cause…
"Aa, Yasu, what is this?" She looks up through her tears and her tone is playful, nearly reproachful, as if she doesn't want to see you vulnerable – doesn't want to see your weakness, doesn't want to see you hurt.
But you don't get it, until you feel the moisture on your cheek, slid past your shades, and you smile bitterly.
It appears you are crying too.
