Chapter 143

Raiden had seen Hiro break down, seen the tears and the exhaustion. He had watched as Hiro pushed himself too hard, struggling with a world that didn’t seem to care. He knew it was his fault. It was all part of his plan but even back then, it pained him to watch Hiro suffer like that. There were times when he would just want to quit and carry Hiro off somewhere, lock him up forever and take care of him but the sane part of him fortunately took over. He knew that if he did that, Hiro would never be able to love him.

There was a saying. 'With hardship comes ease'.

Hiro had suffered enough and now knew the value of love. He knew how it felt to lose everything and become a shadow of what you once were. Now, he was confident that no matter what, Hiro would never leave him. Hiro loves him but most of all, Hiro was extremely scared of losing him.

Hiro didn't want to go back to the life he was living before.
