Short lil sleep deprived fic bc this gif is everything
Your heart was beating so quickly it felt like it would punch it’s way out of your chest, falling right there onto the dirty metal grating. Blood rushing in your ears, palms pricking with sweat.
It was only for a moment, a brief, terrifying second that you thought you saw him as you entered the crowded subway station, a single face among a sea of hundreds.
You had hoped maybe it was your eyes deceiving you, after several long, sleepless nights. You were stressed, you were tired, and your brain must have been creating images that weren’t there. Because as soon as you squinted your eyes, stepped a little closer, he was gone. Vanished, into thin air, it seemed.
But, you knew he didn’t just vanish. People didn’t just disappear. And you knew you were on your third cup of coffee, hands shaky, but painfully wide awake.
You tried to steady your breathing, leaning against the cool, tiled wall and harshly rubbing at your eyes.
A sinking feeling settled in the pit of your stomach, and you recognized the feeling as if it were an old, long lost friend.
