-Don't walk away from me. Not after that. Not after you pour your heart out for me and wait for me to walk all over it, because I won't. I love you, you. You're everything I wish for, everything I wanted. Don't walk away from me, not anymore when you have my heart. Don't leave me here without you.

the bright gym lights beat down heat on the backs of the team. shoes squeaked and there was a prominent smell of sweat and rubber surrounding the bleachers.
for a moment time had stopped, and his heart did too. it was all too late he feared. nothing more could have been done, but there was still a feeling of persistence in his bones, lying in wait to be awakened and to shake violently with the small amount of fight left in him.
it all moved in slow motion, his teammate diving to keep the ball alive, the mere centimeters he missed, the ball hitting the ground. the lights seemed to increasingly get brighter, and it seemed like his feet weighed the weight of the world.
he froze and the world went quiet.
so quiet that he hadn’t heard the sound of the whistle, or at least his brain hadn’t processed it. he could hear his rapid heart beating, and his opponents moving with glee and vigor.
and then it hit. his heart sunk, and it sunk so hard he thought there was a black hole in its place.
that was it. his last high school volleyball game.
he did not hear a word said in the meeting in the locker room except to bring the jerseys to practice tomorrow morning. to leave the last 4 years of his life in a storage room for some other player to wear for next year.
he was quiet on the ride home, too quiet his twin thought. but it was to be expected when all your hard work went down the drain.
his feet were heavy as he climbed up the stairs, his shoulders slumped and head down. he wanted nothing more then to just lie down and never get up again and to wither away.
but more than anything, he wanted to wash away the layer of skin he played in today, all the grime and sorrow. the hot water pelted his back, steam clouding his vision. he felt that maybe the boiling hot water could melt away the tension of the past few hours.
solemnly he walked to his room, the cold air on his bare chest felt like a breath of fresh air. he sat on the edge of his bed and just stayed there for what felt like ages.
he didn’t hear his door open, nor did he hear your footsteps making their way towards him. he only processed that you were there when you stood right in front of him between his legs.
he blinked a couple times, and that’s when the tears started pouring.
he threw his arms around your legs and buried his head in your abdomen, sobbing and clenching your tank top in his hands for dear life.
and you stood there, arms around his head, fingers sweeping through his hair and shushing his muffled cries. you rubbed his back to help soothe the heart break he felt. he cried until all you could hear were quiet sniffles and his breathing was not as rapid as before.
you gently unwrapped his arms from around your waist and slid into his bed, motioning for him to follow you and he complied.
he wrapped his arms around your waist and buried his chest in the valley of your breast, entangling your legs together.
you still felt tears fall on your chest, but not as frequently. laying multiple kisses on his head, you continuing to rub soothing circles on his back. you waited until his breathing was even and his shoulders stopped shuddering to cheer him up.
now was definitely not the right time, but you decided to take a shot in the dark.
you tilt his head up, your soft and tender hands caressing his jaw and cheekbones that were puffy. you both stared into each others eyes for a moment, trying to read each others emotions.
so you decided to make a move and leaned in closer until your lips met his in a soft and tender kiss. he reciprocated the kiss almost (if not) immediately and his grip on your waist tightened.
he tasted like salt and peaches, and odd but comforting combo.
it was electrifying and incredibly sweet, and a little bit of the ache in his heart had gone away.
you both pulled apart and gazed into each others eyes, wiping his cheeks and sending a small smile his way.
a few more pecks and kisses and he was out like a light, drooling all over your chest and a killer grip on the back of your shirt.
content in your warm embrace that could mend his soul.
