"They... won."

The crowd cheered despite having had a negative attitude towards the poor boys.

My mouth was sealed shut though, I knew they were likely to win, I knew that and yet it still shocks me.

I wanted to congratulate them, I wanted to hug em because they did so well...
but my eyes were fixated on the image of the man I viewed to be the love of my life who didn't seem so joyful.

Why was he sad? He won.
He beat Sae... and as a bonus this is good publicity but yet, he's not happy.

I'll ask him later...
...

...

...

"Isagi was better than me..."

"No he wasn't."
"He was."

I raised an eyebrow, looking down at Rin, whos head rested in my lap, his broken expression tearing my heart into two. "How so..."

"He wasn't better than you... no one is better than you are." I whispered to him, brushing his bangs to the side.

"You're biased though..." he whispered, obviously not feeling my words were true.

"Maybe so..." I caressed his forehead, trying to bring him comfort. "But you were still the star."

"Nii-chan... said he's better than I am."

I paused, taking my hand away and my expression turning into something grim.

"Your brother is wrong,
he always is wrong."

"Bu—"
"Shush." I placed a finger over his lips. "You need to accept that your brother has no say. He's a weakling who gave up on his dream because it was too difficult."

"Do you really think I'm good...?" He asked, turning his head away from my gaze.

"Yeah, I know I always joke like this but... you're good. You're the best and I'm going to be there for you when the world learns that too." I laughed, pressing my forehead against his.

"Okay... I love you."
"I love you too... and I missed you so much."

"I missed you too." He repeated.

"Now lets go on a date !"

"No." He refused.

"Why?"
"I like it here..."

I shifted, trying to get comfier. "Okay, but move a bit, my back hurts..."

He groaned and sat up, his hair messy and in his eyes since I had played with it. I leaned against the wall, patted my lap for him. He leaned down and rested his head there.

I grabbed a book I kept under my pillow, deciding to read to pass the time.

"What are you reading?" He asked, not at the right angle to read the spine.

"Some book for my English class... to be honest I think it's boring." I threw the book across the room with a glare. "That might have been the 8th time I've done that..."

"You really should actually read it..."
"I will later."
"Okay..."

I had missed this, I had missed when he was calm. You don't see it often but he is very sweet and that's why I love him.

Note: my teeth stick out when I take selfies
