"it’s okay to hurt & breakdown. you don’t have to be strong all the time.”
hurt / @cursedboar / accepting
wise words from a strong woman . for the first time in awhile , hatori allows himself the grace to smile , a subtle melancholy dancing in its corners . head tilts , obscuring sight of a broken eye , before offering a shake of the head . as much as he’d love to allow the stress to finally take over , to give in to the ever - present tension lingering in the back of his mind ... there’s no time for him to give in . he can’t transform just for the sake of his own selfishness .
❛ i can’t allow that , you very well know that . ❜ though the dragon reaches over to pat the girl on the head , smile widening a fraction . ❛ i have the juunishi to take care of , for when they break down . i have akito to take care of . i don’t have time to not be strong . ❜ but the dragon lingers just in the outskirts of his vision , threatening release when his facade falters for seconds at a time .
