I've been getting really worried lately. For the last few days, Yuji has barely talked to me and he has seemed really down. It also feels like he's been avoiding me the last days as well. Yuji was really worrying me. I hope he's okay. Him and I were sitting by the river right now in complete silence. Despite it being pretty warm outside, I felt cold. Yuji didn't have his arms around me like he usually did. And I think...I think I can see some sadness in his eyes.

I was growing really worried at this point. I decided to ask him if he was alright.

"Yu-chan?" I called his name.

"Hm?"

"A-Are you okay? You haven't talked to me much lately. And you seem sad. Is...Is everything okay?" I asked with a worried tone.

"...I-I've just been having some insecurity issues lately..." He said with a sad tone.

I wrapped my arms around him tightly and hugged him. I then placed a kiss on his cheek and smiled at him warmly as he entwined my fingers with his.

"Feel like telling me?" I asked sweetly.

I looked down as he frowned and hesitated to speak.

"Yuji..." I said his name quietly and tightened my grip on his hand. "Please, tell me sweetie."

I then saw a tear run down his cheek and I reached up to wipe away.

"I know you don't...But when I'm with you, I can't help but feel that you find me annoying in someway. Or that you find me to be a creep when I compliment you. I know you don't think those things of me. But I just can't get these feelings out of my head. I wish they'd just go away!" Yuji cried.

I held Yuji tightly as he cried. I caressed his brown hair and wiped his tears away. While it felt so backwards with me cheering him up and comforting him, it also felt nice. Really nice. Usually, it was him comforting me. I kissed the top of his head and then his cheek before smiling at him warmly and placing my lips against his. I wiped one last tear from his cheek as I began talking again.

"I don't think any of that of you, Yuyu. You're not annoying in the slightest. I love being with you and I wouldn't want to be with anyone else. You make me the happiest girl alive. And I don't find you to be a creep either. I never have. Even before we started dating. You're the sweetest guy I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. You're not annoying and you're not a creep. I've never thought of you to ever be those things and I never will. So don't think of yourself like that. Okay? I love you, Yuji. And I'll never think that of you." I said to sweetly as I placed a kiss on his forehead

He raised his head as I wiped another tear from his cheek and smiled at him sweetly. He then smiled at me warmly.

"Thank you, Shana. I love you too." He said placing a kiss on my forehead and then my lips.

"If you ever feel insecure about anything again, let me know okay? I'm here Yuji. I always will be. Don't leave feelings like that bottled up." I said as I placed another kiss against his cheek.

He wrapped his arms around me tightly and pressed a kiss against my forehead and then lips. I'm glad I was able to make Yuji feel better again. We all have our insecurities. And we'd be there for each other to get past them.

I actually wrote this chapter after having some insecurity issues of my own just a few days ago. These exact issues as well. I always get worried that my friends find me annoying in someway, shape or form and that people (particular females, which I'm friends with a lot of them) will find me to be a creep when I compliment them. But luckily, I managed to get these insecurities behind me for now. So...yeah, this chapter I based off of my personal experience.

Anyway! Feel free to leave a review and give me thoughts on the chapter!
