From a young age, Draco had always been a dreamer, longing to become a great heavy metal star. He always had a cheerful and positive attitude.

You met him in eighth grade. He always smiled at everyone, but once you saw him crying in the bathroom; you hid somewhere he couldn't see you.

— “Why do I keep falling into the same trap?” — You heard him whisper. He stood up and sighed wearily, washed his face, and took a pill from his pocket: what appeared to be an antidepressant.

He inhaled and exhaled, flashed a smile, and left the bathroom without noticing you.

From that day on you began to worry more about him, noticing his tired eyes and his mood swings, every fake smile.

They quickly became best friends and Draco told you about his situation: in the last two years he has had relapses due to stress and fear of growing up, feeling desolate, alone and empty.

He was very grateful for your support; whenever he felt bad, he would look for you. This was no exception.

“— Hey… I had a relapse last night, can we talk?”
Draco asked you, sounding a little discouraged, forcing a smile, waiting for your answer.

Avoid pressuring him if he doesn't want to talk; just let him open up without forcing him.
