Chapter 50

With a soft exhale of relief, Raiden's features softened, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he watched Hiro with affectionate amusement. He sat up and reached out a hand, gently brushing Hiro's tousled hair away from his forehead. In that moment he confirmed that Hiro was actually real and any lingering traces of panic melted away, replaced by a sense of warmth and contentment at having Hiro close by.

He had spent a large part of the night talking to his therapist, trying to reign in his anger. Normally, when he gets angry, he becomes impulsive and does things he regrets later on. Sometimes he hurt the people around him on purpose, just to let out some steam. He became a total jerk and he hated being like that so he opted for therapy so he could get better.

He had badly wanted to hurt Sora last night but after doing a few breathing exercises with his doctor via video call, he went to his room to find Hiro fast asleep.
