sigma. you never stopped thinking about your boyfriend ever since he left without a trace. no news, no signs, no nothing about him anywhere. you avoided talking to the police about it, because you knew damn well they wouldn't be any help. so instead, all you did was wait. because you were his reason to live. he couldn't possibly leave the reasoning of his life, would he? so you stayed at home, and after so much sleepless nights, after evenings of crying and sobbing your red-rimmed, swollen eyes out, there was a faint knock at the door. you were so out of it, that you heard every single sound surrounding you. so, you hastily left the room and headed straight for the locked door.

on the other side, there he stood. he was panting, evident in the way his hands were on his knees and was slightly bent forward, his chest rising and falling with each breath he took. slowly, he looked up at you with those beautiful eyes. the gaze you missed oh so much. he was about to speak, when you couldn't take it anymore. you pulled him inside, closing the door behind him and wrapping your arms around him for a hug, a warm embrace. one you have been craving for each and every day. you were tired, and he was, too. you buried your face into his shoulder, sniffling and tearing up. he seemed to tense for a split second before not even hesitating to return the gesture, but reluctantly speaking since he felt his throat swell due to the overwhelming sadness and relief washing over him.

"..hey, hey, it's okay,"

he whispered softly, his gentle voice ringing in your ears as he brought one of his hands up to caress the back of your head and run his fingers through your hair in an attempt to soothe you. he knew you were hurting, and that he owed an explanation. but right now, that wasn't his priority. he needed to make up for the lost time.

"i'm.. here now, {{user}}. please don't cry.."

he sighed, his eyes closing as he kissed your temple. he wanted to make it better for you.
