"Y/N, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU."
The sudden, unusually low voice of my friend made me freeze in my tracks, similar to a train at the end of its stop. His footsteps were hushed as they entered my office, maintaining a steady eye contact the entire time while he made his way over to my desk.
"Shu," I smiled, greeting him with a welcoming wave. "Do you need help with something? Anything I can do?"
"What's your relationship with Lui?"
"O-Oh, um," I blushed, setting the pen down with a click. "Well I—" He eyed me sternly, narrowing his crimson red pupils. Why was he so serious? "Lui's my soulmate...H-He asked me out yesterday, and...um...I'm not exactly sure—I-I'll check in wi—"
"Soulmate huh?" Shu bit his bottom lip, the bruised teeth marks forming along the pale surface. The papers that he was holding at his side began crinkling up like dry wood in a fireplace, fists tightening with the grip of a boa constrictor. It wasn't obvious, but the snowy haired male had on a plastered smile. "That's nice to know. When are you gonna go on the date?"
"T-Tomorrow..." I answered. "why?"
"I'll give you tomorrow off."
"A-Ah!" I gasped. "Really? No, i-it's fine, I can wait until after—"
"No, have a day off." Shu smiled, tilting his head to the side as his ruby red eyes shut. His breathing quickened, but his voice was still soft and delicate as a butterfly's wing. "You haven't seen Lui in a long time. Spend some time with him..."

'It felt as if someone stabbed me clean through.'
"A-Are you sure?"
'I feel empty, dull.'
I blinked with a smile once more.
The twinkle in her E/C eyes were so surreal, it was like if all of her life's wishes had come true. Y/N was standing up in her desk, hands planted firmly on top of the dark surface. The smile drawn upon her soft lips was so...so enthralling.
I wish that smile could stay forever, me being a reason as to why it appeared in the first place. I want to see her happy.
