'I can't believe I messed up so badly!'
Drawing his knees up against his chest and crossing his arms over top, Tsukasa buried his face in between them and silently wept as he sat crouched in the furthermost shadowy corner of the same old treehouse he, Senku and Taiju had once lived in during his first few weeks as a new revival in the Stone World.
The sun had long since disappeared from the horizon along with its cheerful colours of vibrant pinks and oranges, and in its place a huge mass of indigo darkness coated the sky which reflected his melancholy heart. All around him shadows crept in from every corner of the treehouse, spilling down from above and shrouding him as though the boogeyman Pitch himself had thrown his clock of darkness over him.
Faint echos of buzzing and growling of jungle predators wafted up to his ears while a cold wind howled across the branches. However Tsukasa paid them no attention; his mind completely consumed with thoughts of you.
You—his one and only true love. Beautiful, sweet, clever, witty and compassionate rare gem of an angel who truly loved and supported him throughout all the good and difficult times of his life.
An angel whose love he felt that he no longer deserved!
"Tsukasa?"
Hearing your sweet voice calling out his name, Tsukasa snapped his head up and almost suffered a heart attack when he saw you lifting up the tarp and enter the treehouse. Catching one look at his tear stained face your eyes grew wide with concern and your hands fell up to mouth to muffle the shocked gasp from escaping your lips. Then slowly crossing the wooden floor you knelt down in front of him and asked. "Tsukasa honey, are you okay?"
Between the sight of your lovely eyes gazing at him with such tenderness and the sound of voice speaking to him so softly; Tsukasa broke down and confessed between sobs. "No;—no I'm not okay! *hiccups* I unjustly took out all my anger and frustration out on Edward. Said such horrible things to him— *hiccups* things I didn't mean and wish that I could take back! And— Oh (Y/N) I'm sorry for scaring you! I didn't mean to— *hiccups* make you feel afraid of me! My only desire and intention was to create the perfect romantic date so that I could ask you to marry but instead only ended up being the perfect messes! Each more disastrous than the last! Than this evening on the beach when I finally though everything would finally be— *hiccups* be perfect I felt so happy! But then the bull happened and I — *hiccups* something inside me imploded— and before I even comprehended what I was doing or saying I—! *hiccups.* I—!" Dissolving into a fresh bout of tears Tsukasa lowered himself face down on the ground in shame before you.
