"Aito!" I heard Ryu call. I raised my head to see him rushing towards me. As if I was suddenly injected with energy, my heart skipped a beat and I hurried to my feet. Before I could take a step forward, he had already engulfed me in a bear hug.
My face was buried in his chest and my senses were invaded by his scent. His body was warm, hard but comfy and I buried myself further, letting him hug me as he wished. I could hear the rapid beating of his heart and feel the heat of his breath against my neck. I wrapped my arms around his waist and sighed contentedly. This is where I belong. This is where I felt the safest.
"I'm sorry I made you worry" I murmured. My voice was muffled but I knew he heard for he grunted and tightened his hold. "I just wanted to be alone after seeing Sakura like that"
"I understand" he said softly. "I saw her a while ago. She's asleep and the doctors said no one should go in. Not even her mother"
I sighed. "She went crazy"
