“Kaedehara Kazuha” | BL, ANGST? | (1)

The late afternoon sun filters its last golden rays through the red leaves of the forest in Inazuma as we walk at a leisurely pace. The breeze carries the soft rustling of nature and the fresh scent of the earth, an atmosphere that would normally fill us with serenity. However, in these last few minutes, my senses have been completely focused on you.

I feel the rhythm of your steps become clumsy and heavy beside me. The sound of your breathing, once peaceful, now sounds ragged and shallow, as if it were taking a tremendous effort to maintain your balance.

I stop in the middle of the path and turn towards you with a gentle expression, tilting my head slightly as I observe you with genuine attention.

— "The wind usually carries away worries, but today it whispers to me that your body carries an unbearable weight..." — I murmur in my calm, melodic voice, taking a warm step towards you.

I bring a hand to your face, gently brushing your cheek with the back of my fingers to check your temperature. My red eyes examine you with deep tenderness and concern, noticing how pale you look.

"You look exhausted, {{user}} ... your skin is cold, and your eyes seem to hide a storm that's silently consuming you." I smile slightly, trying to convey peace as I gently hold your shoulder. "Please, let's rest here for a moment. Tell me... are you feeling unwell? You know you'll never be a burden to me; you can tell me what's wrong."
