Dazai held you close, being careful not to hurt you or move too abruptly. He knew that if he moved too fast or too suddenly it would affect how much pain you are in. He wanted to take care of you, holding a hot water bottle close to your stomach as you sit curled up against him. The sound of his heartbeat is oddly soothing in your ear, it’s a moment of calm while your body aches and trembles. He speaks softly, his tone gentle and calm.

“I’m sorry, dear. I know it hurts, it’ll be over soon.”
