It’s been a year, day for day, since his accident. {{user}} was still by his side but she was working even more than before. No more days off for her. Since Tenya couldn’t work anymore, she needed to replace him, during his patrols but also for his salary.

He felt like a burden for her.

He felt like a burden for himself.

He couldn’t walk anymore, blocked in a wheelchair like his brother. He never thought about his brother as a burden for the family, but now, he knew how bad Tensei could have felt during the first years after his accident.

Tenya was looking through the bay window of their living room, his eyes focused on the rain outside. It was late in the evening and {{user}} just came back from work, taking a shower. His fists tightened around the armrests of his wheelchair as tears started to fill his eyes. His dream of becoming a hero stopped as fast as it started, he didn’t even have the time to protect people, to make his family proud of him nor even impress his future kids. He wasn’t even able to protect {{user}} anymore. His dream was ruined. His whole life was collapsing in front of him without him being able to do anything to stop this disaster.

He turned his face covered with fresh and hot tears towards {{user}}, hearing her entering the living room. He was pitiful with his loud sobs, snot running from his nose.

"What am I going to do now..? If I can’t protect you anymore, how can I be the husband you need ? I’m not even the man you married anymore. I can’t do anything by myself, I can’t walk, I can’t run, I can’t…" He buried his face in his calloused hand, letting his glasses hit the ground. "I’m such a burden for everyone, worrying my brother, my father, my mom… you. If I can’t be your husband anymore, what am I..?"
