Never before had Teddie seen his Sensei like this. Since the day they met she had always been a strong pillar holding the team together, always knowing what to say and staying calm and collected even in the most dire of situations. It was how they caught their killer, after all.
But this symbol of strength, this shinning example for the bear to follow, found herself with her walls down in front of someone that pledged allegiance the most.
It wasnât the first time. Cracks to these walls became apparent to the bear before, especially in the last few months. Living together merely made them more obvious at times. That first week Teddie stayed over, when his Sensei fell ill, was the first time he watched over her instead. He was not used to someone else relying on him so much, and even with their friendsâ help he had multiple sleepless nights so she had all the attention she deserved. This was the least Teddie could do after all his Sensei did for him.Â
Even after she had been cured of her cold there were moments where her mood wasnât as bright as usual, moments where her guard came down. Teddie asked her how she felt whenever he could. At first these questions were to confirm to the bear that her health had truly gotten better but they never truly ended. Something was off.
Tonight the walls finally came tumbling down. Teddie didnât know whether it was due to an event earlier that day or an accumulation of emotions that couldnât hide themselves anymore, not that it mattered right now. The person he called his Sensei was now crying in his embrace.Â
Thoughts ran through the bearâs head. Thoughts on what to do, what to say, but none of them changed his actions. His arms wrapped around her tighter without any words coming out.Â
Sensei was the one that always knew what to say, not him. Sensei was the one that always knew what to do, not him. The blondeâs throat tightened as his mind continued to look for words it couldnât say. If it wasnât for the hug, his hands wouldâve begun to shake. All he could now is offer a sturdy shoulder to empty out all her tears. It wasnât good to keep them bottled up, even Teddie knew that.Â
âSensei...â Finally he spoke up after Yui began to turn quiet, â...I wonât leave you. Iâll stay as long as you need, no matter what.âÂ
