This... pain. It's so unbearable!

My hands flinch when I think about it, when no feel it, when it claws at me, making tears prick at my eyes and my whole body is swarmed in pain and anger.

No, it's not heartbreak. It's literal pain. At my back, just below my shoulder blades.

I don't know how it started or when I started, but it hurts so much I dont want to move. I sit at the edge of Souskes bed as he rummaged around in his room, looking for something to soothe my pain.

"I can't find it," He says, guilt reeking his voice. I give a small smile, "Its okay, don't worry about it."

I chuckle to myself. I don't even known how many times I've said that to everybody... even myself.

Souskes face says something else as his neck turns, giving me the look of that he knows something.

I turn away, avoiding his sharp gaze. I think to myself, I have to remember about his shoulder. I can't keep coming in everyday, complaining about my back. He has his swimming, and I've got nothing.

I can hear his footsteps as he approaches the bed, taking a swift seat next to me as he lifts his good arm, rubbing my back.

"I hope it's growing pains," he spoke lowly, "because if it's scoliosis-"

I stop him.

"No, Sou. It's not scoliosis and I'm not growing. I'm seventeen, shouldn't I stop growing by now?" I ask him. He gave a long, dragged out, sigh.

"I guess." He looked away from me. I turn my head to face the wall.

"Sou..." I began, "I know about your shoulder and ever-"

He turned to me, an angry gaze.

"Screw my shoulder, your my main priority. You're the only person, the only one, who really ever cared about my shoulder. After all the hardships we went through to help it... you deserve the help.

The words he spoke took me back as I gave a small smile, earning one back in return.

"Souske," I begin once more, "I- I... I can't too what you just said. However; i can say this. Whatever I'm having right now... we'll face it together. With your shoulder and all."

He gave a bigger smile and leaned in, kissing my forehead lightly as I smiled in the process.

He leaned back and saw my hunched figure, taking his larger hand and rubbing my back, "I agree, we both will face this."

«This was based off of the pain in my back I had during the summer, it was so... painful that it hurt to walk. Thankfully it was growing pains but it's gone know :)»
