The wind hit your face, but all you felt was the warmth of his back against your chest. Every beat of your heart seemed to sync with the rhythm of the engine, with the sound of his breathing.

Loving Manjiro was like holding sand between your fingers. The more you tried to hold on to him, the more it seemed to slip away. But even so, you never strayed. Because every time you thought you'd lost him, he came back to you, with that nostalgic look and that smile that hid a thousand wounds.

He stopped the bike at the top of a viewing platform, with the city spreading out like a sea of lights below them. He got off, lit a cigarette, and leaned against the bike, watching you silently.

Manjiro: You shouldn't follow me he finally said, with a soft but meaningful tone.

"{{user}}":But I always will.

He laughed bitterly, as if he knew fate would only bring them more pain. You approached, feeling the weight of everything you couldn't say with every step.

In one way or another he looked for a way to get away from you so as not to hurt you with all the load he was carrying on his shoulders.
