Yuuki was crying. Aya had no idea why, but she heard her sobs before she touched the handle to Kaien's office. The Chairman was offering consolation in the form of quiet confirmations that "it would be okay". Yuuki's sobs intensified for a moment, then quieted back down to the occasional hiccup.
Aya waited a moment, then gently pushed the door open.
Kaien had risen from the loveseat he'd been sitting on with Yuuki, crossing the room to stare out the window. Zero was now in his place, rubbing her back awkwardly. Yuuki threw her arms around him, sobbing into his chest.
Being the kind of guy Zero was, he hugged her just as tight, being there for her…again.
Her breathe caught in her throat when Yuuki pulled back to stare into her best friend's face, mere centimeters from his lips.
The look in Zero's eyes was so gentle, so loving, it made her heart hurt to look at it. Zero leaned in, ever so slightly, and Aya could've swore her heart shattered in her chest, splintering to every part of her body.
But Yuuki pulled away, instead sobbing into her own arms, and Zero stared blankly at the wall behind her.
No one noticed the door, ever so slightly ajar, with no one in sight who could have opened it.
