Confessions of an Avenger

The moment you took my pain

The day had arrived, to put my efforts to test.

To push through and perform better than the rest.

To participate in the exams or not— we were asked to choose.

So I had suggested you to drop the opportunity and refuse.

Not because I considered you weak and vulnerable,

but because the chances of you getting hurt was making me uncomfortable.

You still decided to stand by our side.

And I couldn't help myself from lifting your pride.

Unfortunately, fate had something else for us in store

as we were left alone to face that grass ninja's gore.

Before we could stir a muscle, she trapped us in her illusion,

making us witness our own demise— the most horrible sensation.

So I carried you in the manner I'll be holding you in a while.

Yes...out of all the options I picked you up the bridal style.

That idiot finally returned for our aid.

And instead of me, he tried to stop the enemy's raid.

"Scaredy Cat!" I remember his taunt reaching my ears.

Yet even his mockery failed to eliminate the fears.

But when you slapped me with your words"...atleast he's not a coward!"

They reverted me back to my old self and I charged forward,

managing to suppress the actions of that monster.

But in the end, he still turned out to be the victor.

He placed a curse mark on my neck to make me suffer.

Thankfully you eased me, acting as a buffer.

I took your hand and squeezed it hard.

And only in your presence I let down my guard.

Somehow the pain started to dissipate.

So I moved closer to insinuate.

That emotion bubbled again in my chest.

And I snuggled even more on my heart's request,

thus passing out in your arms, feeling no restrain.

Because in that very moment you took my pain...
