this (
(perhaps she's overwhelmed) and i cannot be apart from you. )
To an extent, Naoto knows what it's like to hate someone so much you swear your gut will start rotting away from the inside. She knows what it's like to want to be rid of that person, because if you keep them around, if you let them stay alive, they'll haunt you in the deepest, darkest corners of your mind, always reminding you of how easy it is to buckle, to fall. And maybe that's part of the reason why she freezes when she catches sight of Heine and Giovanni, fingers wrapped tight around the hilt of her katana, the knuckles bleeding white underneath the dark leather of her gloves.
( Heine -- )
She's seen this before. She knows this scene, knows how it all plays out, and it's not until her eyes are falling to that tiny blonde figure close to Heine that she realizes Nill is there, Nill is there, Nill is there, that single phrase repeating like a whispered mantra over and over in her head.
Shit.
Naoto breaks into a run, her feet pounding hard against the concrete as she goes, and it takes her a second to realize that she's moving at all. She's tunneled in on Nill, on the side of Heine's face, on that smile that would make most people flinch but just makes her frown. Her boot makes contact with a broken slab of stone as she steps on it, propels herself forward, and finally, finally, draws to an abrupt, sudden stop in front of Nill, kicking up dirt and dust, her eyes fixed on Heine's shoulders, on the back of his neck.
Her hand unwinds from around the katana, the muscles and tendons sore and stiff from gripping her weapon as hard as she had been, and she takes one more step forward, drags her fingers through Nill's hair, before she's kneeling in front of her, carefully peeling those small hands away from her face. ]
Are you all right?
