He was watching her again

He was watching her again.

Whether or not she was aware of it, he wasn't sure, but if she was, she never said anything.

And he never came any closer, even though he wanted to; God, how he wanted to. To comfort her, to hug her, hold her in his arms and let her know that everything would be fine, just fine, Sakura-san, that he would be coming back, that she didn't have to cry anymore.

He watched her hand grip the hitai-ate in her hand tighter.

Even if she wasn't aware that he was there in the background; waiting, watching, worrying, he'd still be there.

To catch her is she fell.
