Series: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

Challenge: 26 -- Tears

Shiver

His lip trembles. His body shakes. With those images in mind, I can't help but melt my disdainful exterior. Before, I would have cared for nothing more than to break that blithe smile. Now, that choked sob drives deep into my heart. More so, because I know I'm the cause of it.

I move closer, but he turns away. I try to loop a reassuring arm around him, but he shrugs me away. A tear rolls down his cheek, and I quickly brush it away, catching his chin with my hand. Eyes meet, and he sobs again. I apologise, again.
