~ To Truly Care ~
Yabu's POV
I don't see him very often, but when I do, he smiles at me. I hate that smile. It's the same smile I used to fool everyone. And Hasshi has perfected it.
From the first day I saw that smile I knew that a break down would follow. And so I kept my eye on him. Sometimes I would peep into A.B.C.-Z's dressing room. Other times I asked Totsu how he was doing. It was always the same reply: that he was struggling but working hard to get better. He even stayed behind after practice to continue to work on his own. That only made me worry more. I decided to stay behind and watch him from outside of the door.
And my worst fear came to pass.
Hasshi tripped while dancing and hit the floor with a loud thud. He didn't even bother to get up, staying down and letting out a sob. It was soon followed by another and then he broke down into tears. The pressure of keeping face had finally gotten to him.
To see him crying kills me. I've been there before. I've been in that place where you feel like the world is against you. I've been in that place where you feel like you've been hurt and you want to stay down. And I don't want to ever see anyone else there, especially not him. Not the person who's personality puts a smile on my face.
I rush into the room, quickly sinking to the floor and wrapping my arms around him. I want him to let it all out so it doesn't have to happen anymore.
I feel him stir in surprise but I merely hold him tighter.
"It's alright," I said. "Let it out."
He cried harder, burying his face into my shoulder. I continued to hold him and placed a kiss on his forehead.
Eventually he stops, breaking out into a fit of hiccups. He looks up and his expression turns into a surprised one.
"Y-Yabu-kun?" he says, surprised.
I smiled.
"You weren't expecting me, huh?" I said.
"I-I didn't mean it - hiccup - that way," he replied quickly, hiccupping once more. "I j-just - hiccup -"
"Don't strain yourself to talk," I replied. "I just didn't want to see you cry alone."
I blushed in embarrassment. Did he understand my meaning?
He didn't, simply thanking me with a smile and heading toward the door. I have to try again.
"You know, if you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here."
He smiled brightly and rushed back over to me, throwing his arms around me and hugging me tightly.
"Thank you so much," he whispered. "This means so much to me."
He kisses my cheek and I flushed. On the way out to this mother's car in wonder if I got through to him. It makes me nervous thinking about it. But before I can attempt to say anything, he's scribbling something it my hand.
"Goodbye Yabu-kun!" he said when he finished, hopping into the car.
I look down at my hand and laugh.

So he did understand.
"I'll talk to you soon Hasshi," I said.
I smiled and waved at him as the car drives off, not stopping until the car is out of sight.
