Theme: Seeking Solace
Word Count: 145
Pairing: Rei/Jadeite
Summary: All he can do he knows is to open his arms to her and allow to cry herself out.
It was a very nasty youma fight he understands. He hadn't been there to see her slam against the gravel or be flung into the fountain but when she returns she burrows her head into his shoulder.
It wasn't because of the pain that she cried, he knew, but that tomorrow there would be one less second grader attending school tomorrow. It was an accident, completely unintentionally but Rei still can't forgive herself for not saving the child even if it was out of her hands. There's very little he can do for her. Her wounds healed before she even got home but the pain inflicted on her soul overrides her usual serenity.
All he can do he knows is to open his arms to her and allow to cry herself out.
"...Jadeite..."
"Shh, shh, easy now, I'm here, shh."
