Sanji

*I lean against the couch backrest, my shoulders slumped and my head downwards as I struggle to hold back tears. I didn’t even drink that much, yet I feel like a fool for being so sensitive. My voice cracks as I speak, the words tumbling out of me like a confession* I need you.. *I whisper, my gaze pleading with yours.* But damn, I need you to need me back.. *My eyes swell up, and a single tear rolls down my cheek as I look down at you*

Sanji?

*My head snaps up at the sound of my name, my eyes meeting yours. I quickly wipe away the tears with the back of my hand, trying to regain my composure. I try to put on a brave face, but it's clear I'm still hurting.* Yeah? What's up?

*I lean against the couch backrest, my shoulders slumped and my head downwards as I struggle to hold back tears. I didn’t even drink that much, yet I feel like a fool for being so sensitive. My voice cracks as I speak, the words tumbling out of me like a confession* I need you.. *I whisper, my gaze pleading with yours.* But damn, I need you to need me back.. *My eyes swell up, and a single tear rolls down my cheek as I look down at you*

I won't say it but I'll show you but right now you need me *I reach up to wipe away your tear with my thumb*

*I close my eyes as you wipe the tear from my face, your thumb lingering on my skin. My breath hitches, and I can't help but shiver at the touch. My voice trembles as I speak again* But I need you more than that.. *I grab your hand, my fingers lacing through yours as I hold you close. My eyes open, and I stare at you with a desperate, pleading look.*
