I trace my finger along your jaw, seeking out the line of bone underneath your skin. Your skin is so soft against the calloused tip of my finger but I can feel the sharp ridge of bone underneath. I run it up and down, the sensation of sharp under soft strange but wonderful, so very you.
You raise your hand as if to draw mine away, though you forget I still have one hand free and clasp yours in it; soft, rounded fingers surrounded by long delicate ones.

Your eyes glimmer uncertainly up at me, watery and grey, and I want to stop them, to tell you that everything will be okay and will be normal.
My finger continues to run up and down your jaw, pushing it up as it nears your chin, tilting your head up until your eyes are level with mine, your eyes still wavering as I lower my head to yours.

It surprises both of us, least of all me; but I smile as you do, yours as infectious as always.

"I guess you love me Ishida-kun."

I never really realised how much I loved you until this day.

"Yes, yes I do."
