"You're the only one I have. The only person who cares about me." Now both of his hands grasped onto my pants. "I can't let that go."
It hurts. It hurts me because I completely understand him. After being alone and struggling for most of your life, it's so hard to let go of the one person who was there for you.
However, it's not good to rely on one person for everything.
I took a shaky breath before squatting down to pat his hands. Instantly, he latched onto my hands instead.
"Ryuu..." I trailed off when I realized my brain was befuddled, and I didn't know where to start. It was hard to think when he intensely stared at me with desperation gleaming in his silver eyes. "This... what we currently have is not good. It's not good for either of us."
"What do you mean?" Ryuu tightened his grip when I went to pull away.
