Rei was always in control. And for Makoto to see Rei shaken to her core...well she knew it had to be something bad. She'd seen Rei upset in the past only once or twice, and usually it involved her politician father. But this...to have a strange man cause Rei to lose her self control... Makoto frowned and closed her eyes as Rei continued.
She felt Rei's trembling, so she softly rubbed her shoulder hoping it would give a calming effect. And that was when Rei dropped her bombshell. Makoto's eye went wide with shock. "Oh, Rei-chan!" She quickly moved from her own chair and re-seated herself on the arm of the chair Rei was occupying. She grabbed Rei and pulled her into her arms and just held her, rubbing her back with one hand and softly smoothing her friend's raven hair with the other. Nothing else mattered now. She just needed to be there for Rei. She rested her head on top of Rei's while she kept her embrace and closed her eyes and thought for a moment. Normally losing one's virginity wasn't such a harrowing experience. For a split second, Mako remembered her own first experience. Was it awkward? Hell yes. But soul-shaking, not so much. Whoever this guy was, and whatever he'd said or done to cause Rei to give herself away so easily... Makoto couldn't even wrap her head around the idea.
She pulled away slowly, tilted Rei's chin up and looked straight into her eyes. She spoke softly with as much empathy as she could muster. "Rei-chan, you know I love you just as if you were my very own sister. I am here for you and I will do anything and everything I can to help you feel better about all this. Please don't beat yourself up too much. It was a lapse of judgement, but it happens sometimes. It's all over now, and we'll get through it." She managed a half smile and finished, "What can I do to help you? I am officially at your service."
