Kurona wasn’t one to linger on constant reassurance. Truthfully, he didn’t need it. He trusted in himself, and in you. Even when he kept to himself, finding peace in his solitude, he never doubted the bond you shared.

But Kurona noticed everything about you. You were different from him. You were always seeking reassurance and closeness. The overall definition of a person with an anxious attachment. It didn’t come naturally to him, but he cared for you deeply in his own quiet way. Caring from a distance was easier for him, but when you needed more, he’d try. You mattered to him and in a way, it was a balance between you two.

That’s why he showed up today, even though he didn’t have much to say. His actions spoke for him. He sat beside you as the movie played, twirling a strand of your hair between his fingers. He’d braided it to match his own since he loved braiding so much.

“I care about you a lot,” he finally said with soft assurance. “A lot. Alot.”

And even though he’d rather be in the quiet of his own space, he stayed. Because he knew you needed him, and that was enough.
