✯ — it just sucks to try and explain

Words always felt so hollow, especially so on the days that he couldn't say them, which was most days. Wearily, a breath would escape the male, the softness in Cory's gaze catching him off guard. Why ... why was there softness there? Was he important to him? He'd gotten so used to his own existence being so extinguishable and easily forgotten about, that he never thought that somebody would actually come to miss him. It made him wonder if his disappearance would be felt by him, if he would greet him just as warmly when he came back.
Should he come back? What waited here for him? Uncertainty and sadness had bred in his chest, overwhelming him with the voices of the dead echoing in his head. He wasn't content with where he was. Shaking his head now, zoning back in from his wandering thoughts, he offered a placating smile. What was said in his silence? What was said in the words that he couldn't speak?
Jaws opening, as if to speak in return before closing again. He would follow him anywhere, except for now. What had he done to earn his loyalty and friendship? Closing his mouth and nodding, freezing as Cory came in closer. There, he felt his heart begin to beat an unusual tempo, his breath catching in his throat before it was over just as soon as it had been, a simple embrace scrambling all of his thoughts. He would allow himself the short joy of a hug, chasing a fleeting spark of a comfort he hadn’t known in quite some time. Then, it was over and the hug was over, reaching for his notebook with a shaken breath. 'I understand. There's always another time. Please look after yourself too. I shouldn't be too long, then I can help you look after her.' he would give him a warm smile then, tail slowly swishing side to side as he stood there.
