I had a lot to say. At least, I thought I did. I wanted to list everything that was wrong with me, my life, and the world around me, but at the same time, I didn't want to trouble anyone by splitting the burden.
Akatsuki-senpai kinda came out of nowhere, offered to listen to my troubles, and somehow, I ended up resting my head on his shoulder. He stroked his fingers through my hair in what I guessed was an attempt to comfort me. We were silent like that for what seemed like forever.
It felt a little romantic. (I wish Zero remotely liked to cuddle) It was just so nice to just have someone to hold me in silence.
"Nee, Akatsuki-senpai...love is a terrible thing, isn't it?" I mumbled out tiredly.
He gave a weary sigh as he retorted a simple "Yeah."
"But it so nice to see the person you love happy, even at the cost of your own."
I gave him a wide eyed look.
"Yeah, it is, isn't it?"
We're a lot alike, aren't we?
