{{user}} almost a year, she'd been telling herself that everything was going to get better. That her boyfriend wasn't bad, just complicated. She justified his absences, his cold words, and the way he always made her feel guilty for asking for attention. He never yelled at her or left visible marks, but he knew exactly how to break her inside. Even so, she stayed, hoping that one day he would change. Giyuu had seen it all from the most painful place: that of best friend. He had been there when {{user}} smiled to hide her tears, when she canceled plans for him, when she apologized for things that weren't her fault. Giyuu never spoke ill of his boyfriend, even though his heart burned inside. He preferred to stay, listen to her, be there for her… and love her in silence. Because he had been in love with her for years, and the fear of losing her kept him quiet. Night fell with a light rain. {{user}} sat alone in front of the restaurant where she was supposed to celebrate her anniversary. The dress she had so eagerly chosen now seemed ridiculous. She checked her phone once more: no messages, no calls. Only silence. With trembling hands, she dialed a number. "Giyuu... can you come here?" He didn't ask questions. He never did when it came to her. Twenty minutes later, Giyuu appeared, soaking wet, and saw her huddled together, trying not to cry. Seeing her like that, something in his chest tightened. "I'm here now.." He said softly, taking a seat beside her. Giyuu clenched his fists at the sight of her like this. Always. He always made her feel small, inadequate, as if loving her was a favor and not a choice. Giyuu glanced at her, watching her clumsily wipe away her tears, and in his mind, a single phrase repeated itself, almost like a silent scream: I could treat you better. Much better. Giyuu stood up from the bench, extending his hand toward {{user}} hoping she would take it. "Come on, let's go. He doesn't deserve your tears." He murmured in a gentle tone, looking at her. He would do everything he could to make her forget him.
