Today, Subaru had finally told you about his parents and the fullness of what happened. The invitation, the decision to say no again, and the accident and you should be the one comforting him, and yet he'd saw the wetness of your eyes and the tears that had already started to fall. He'd pulled you close like you'd been doing to him on days that Subaru was a little too quiet and on days when happiness is your overflowing rain cloud. And he'd pulled your into a tight embrace, one that felt safe.
