Sometimes All You Need

Sometimes it’s all Grantaire can do to stop himself from crying. Sometimes he just curls into himself on his bed, back to the door, and lets his control go. His shoulders shake and sometimes he doesn’t even cry (it takes too much effort to even do that see he can’t even be upset correctly). All he can do is hope that no one opens his door, because he doesn’t want anyone to see him like this.

He hasn’t felt this way in awhile. He knows he should have known it wouldn’t last, that it had been too good for too long. But then his dad calls, and the balance he tried so hard to reach shatters.
