─── 002: Itoshi Sae.

Sae had just arrived home from his training. With his gym bag in his arms, he found it strange that you weren't out to greet him as you usually did.

After leaving his belongings and freshening up a bit, he went into their bedroom. He found you there on the edge of the bed, but not the way he wanted.

Your body was trembling. Your arms were wrapped around you like a self-hug. You were holding back from letting out a scream or bursting into tears. The effort you put into calming yourself was immense.

Your whole storm came crashing down when you heard his voice and felt his arms offering you a warm refuge; that was all you needed to break.

Sae said nothing. He gave you that quiet space so you could release a burden that had been building up for years. You didn't feel like a burden in his arms; you felt cherished, loved. He wasn't one for words, but he was a man of action.
