Pairing: Sakura Haruka x gn!reader

CW: hurt and comfort, mental health troubles

Note: Wrote this super quick while on a trip to visit with my family. This has been the hardest trip to date because my father's health is declining and he's a shadow of the person he once was. So this blurb is pretty self-indulgent.

You can't sleep.

Your mind won't stop going over the events that happened in your life recently. Things have been changing, not all for the best, and it feels like it's all happening way too fast.

It all feels like too much.

So you're out on the living room couch, in the dark, desperately trying to keep your sobs quiet so as to not wake up your boyfriend in the other room.

You should have known you wouldn't be able to hide from him.

Haruka hadn't always known what to do to help you when you weren't feeling the best. Romantic relationships were totally new to him when you both started dating, and so he needed to your guidance throughout the first few milestones. Holding hands. Hugs. Kisses. Sex.

But he was a fast learner, and wanted to be the best for you. Which he was, of course, even if he didn't always feel that way. Something that surprised you about him, though, was how supportive he was of you and your mental health struggles from the get go. You were worried he'd see you as weak and pathetic, but when you confessed your issues to him, he took it all in stride.

"Oi."

You gasp and turn towards the direction of his voice. Haruka is in the doorway of the bedroom, still only wearing his sleep shorts and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Why're you out here?"

You take in a shuttering breath. "I...i didn't want to wake you, so I-"

"Wake me," he grumbles as he walks over to you, sitting down so he can wrap his arms around you, "I want you to wake me when you feel like this. Don't want you to be alone when you're feeling this way..."

Something about the way he says that strikes you differently. He's felt like this before, hasn't he? He's felt sad and overwhelmed and miserable and had to go through that all alone. The thought of it makes you break out in fresh sobs, and you bury your face in his chest while he gently pets the back of your head. You let it all out now that you don't need to worry about your volume level.

When you finish, your sobs slowly changing into your normal breathing pattern and the tears stop flowing down your cheeks, Haruka stands you both up and leads you back to the bedroom.

You're tucked back in to your futon where he curls around you from behind, his lips pressed against the nape of your neck and his arms wrapped around your waist as you drift to sleep.

You aren't alone. Haruka is here with you no matter what.
