TRIGGER WARNING I THINK(?) BTW
I honestly don't know what cutting feels like. I PLAN TO NEVER DO IT I LEGIT LOVE MY WRIST FOR SOME REASON THEY'RE SO SMALL AND KAWAII IN MY OPINION I'm only writing what I've read in fanfics.

Lily Pov

I stare horrified at Ryuu. My wrist stinging. He just walks in. He doesn't yell at me or anything.

He opens the cabinets and grabs some type of medicine and some cottons. He pulls a stool that usually stays in the corner.

"Give me your wrist."
He says calmly.

I gently hold it out. He grabs my hand. Which causes my heart to jump. And gently pulls it towards him.

He dips the cotton ball in the medicine. And the second it touches my wrist I jump and yank back my wrist.

"That hurts!"

He nods.
"It's going to hurt Lily. But if you want them to get better I have to do this."

I slowly nod give him my wrist again. This time I clutch my pajama bottoms when it stings. Which is the whole time.

I look down.

"Why aren't you angry?"

Though he's paying attention thing to my wrist. I see him smile.

"Because... Being angry at you won't comfort or help you... I.... Care about you a lot Lily.... And I want to help..."

I feel my heart do a leap.

"When do you start caring about me...?"
"Honestly... The moment I laid my eyes on you... Even though you seemed rude and just plain a bad person. But... I could tell that wasn't you..."

I smile.
"Even then you were a caring person to me..."

I feel tears falling down my cheeks once again.
"Even when I had to treat you and your brother like dirt... You still cared for me.... You still helped me.... You.... You all still took me in..."

I bury my face into my knees. And I know Ryuu smiling. Because he's just that type of person. A comforting person who smiles when a person lets out all their feelings.

And I love him for that.

"I can't... Bring myself to feel anything about my fathers death... I can't....not after everything he did too me..."

I love him...

"And yet... You somehow made me feel like I actually mattered to people... Like people could actually care about me and love me...."

I feel him tense up a bit on the word love.

And I know he loves me....

"You spend your whole day in your room just so if I wake up I won't be scared that I'm alone...."

And it's so obvious to everyone we love each other....

"And you..." I hear Ryuu start talking and look up.

It's only then I realize that he's done with my wrists and is hold my hands to his lips.

"You trust me.... You understand me... You felt a connection like how I did when we first met each other..."

He left hand lets go of mine. He gets closer to me and brushes my bangs away. And before I knew it. I feel his soft lips on my forehead.

I feel heat rise up in my cheeks. And a wonderful feeling in my chest. And I swear on my life that the second I looked at our hands I saw a red string. For a split second.

'So this is what it feels like to have a soulmate....'
