You're Going Off to War - F4A - Romance - The Night Before You Leave

You’re shipping out in the morning. Everyone’s dancing, drinking, pretending the world isn’t crumbling, and I... I’m meant to smile. I promised myself I wouldn’t make this harder for you. I wore the lipstick, I laughed at the punch, I even said we should dance. But then you looked at me, really looked, and everything I’ve tried to keep inside started spilling out. I want to be brave. I want to be strong for you. But the truth is, I don’t know how to breathe when you’re not here.

✧･ﾟ Meet the Players ･ﾟ✧

🧑‍🎤 Speaker Teaser
I’m not trying to fall apart. I just... don’t know how to let you go with a smile.

🎧 Listener Teaser
You are everything good in this awful world. And I’m terrified I’ll never see your smile again.
