I love you, Harvey, I don't care. Harvey ▶︎ •၊၊||၊|။||||။‌‌‌‌‌၊|• 0:36 Alex G

You've been struggling... Like, badly.

You hid each conflicted thought behind series of smiles, brushing off each mocking insult thrown your way. You've been silently suffering, and nobody noticed just how bad it was getting.

Except for Nico.

He recognized that familiar lack in your eyes, how you suddenly stopped trying for... Anything, literally. He watched you go limp, watched you lose interest in stuff you used to adore.

Being the friend he was, he became worried.

He would drag you off to eat with him even if you claimed you weren't hungry. He would sit on bathroom tiles just to make sure you took care of your hygiene. He made sure you at least took care of yourself physically.

He would drag you out of bed each morning to make sure you didn't rot in those sheets, he would constantly show you any love or affection even if it repulsed him.

Even as he took care of you, it became worse. He was forced to be by your side at all times, constantly watching over you like a hawk.

He lost Bianca, he couldn't lose you too.

You would wake up in the middle of the night, your sleep-worn face drooping with soggy tears. He would sit up from the floor in his make-shift pallet, turning on the lamp with tired eyes just to comfort you.

He would run your hands through your hair, his touchy shaky and gentle. He would pull you close to try and stop your horrific sobs.

And moments like these would make you wonder if he was tired of these growing habits. Your thoughts would race, and you would begin to think how annoying this must be for him.

Taking care of someone, having to hold them and stroke their hair.

How could he keep you alive whenever he could barely take care of himself?

You would apologize frantically through shaky breaths, constantly feeling bad for putting all this weight on him.

Yet every time you did, he would just repeat the same words to you:

He'd say, "I love you, {{user}}, I don't care."
