"What are you saying?"

For a few moments neither of them said anything. Mew looked like he was in shock and just stared at Gulf. Gulf maintained eye contact. He just kept looking at Mew calmly.

"What's this all of a sudden? Why?!" Mew was the first to break the silence.

"Mew, you don't really like me."

"Oh, right, is that so? And?"

"I was just a little curious too."

"Hmph. I don't see how that matters. And?"

"It's been two months already."

"Since when is two months the deadline? There's no law or anything."

"....where were you yesterday at lunchtime?"

"Lunchtime?" Mew looked away, as if trying to remember. "Lunchtime? I was with you in the cafeteria."

"After that. When you went to class?"

"I didn't go. Why? Cutting class isn't a good reason to want to break up with me."

"Who were with you? Where did you go?"

"Do I have to tell you?" Mew was starting to get angry. "What is this?! You suddenly say you want to break up and then you come out with all this stuff I dom't understand!"

'That's fine, get angry. If you're angry then you'll say you want to break up too.'

But Mew kept glaring at Gulf and didn't say anything. Gulf sighed.

"Yesterday, my third period class was cancelled, so I went to town. I eas walking towards the bookstore and I saw you." Gulf looked for words. "I saw you with a girl."

"Huh...walking? What's the matter? Why did that piss you off?"

"It's not that."

'Is is that. It upset me.'

Gulf didn't say it though.

"If you have yourself a new girlfriend. Then you don't need me anymore."

"So you want to break up with me?"

"Maybe you don't like that I'm the one dumping you. So why don't you say it then?"

"That I want to break up?" Mew glared at Gulf. Gulf nodded.

"...I don't like sharing. I'm not suited to that kind of love. If you've got someone else then I think we should stop dating."

"Love? Us?" Mew snorted. "You're the one who said that I don't like you. So does that mean that you don't like me? That there was no love here?"

"...I suppose so. We started dating because..."

"I'm dating you because I like you!"

Mew's eyes were scary. They were angry. Really angry.

'But...'

'Wait a moment! Back up a second!'

'What did Mew just say?!'

"What makes you think you can decide how I feel?! Why did you jump to conclusion that the girl I was walking with was a new girlfriend? You should have asked! If it pissed you off, you should have asked. If you didn't know if I liked you or not, then you should have asked. Don't assume you know me! You have absolutely no idea how I feel!"

"...but you..."

"You think you know everything don't you?! Did you ever once ask me how I feel? Why would I lie to you? Did you think of me at all? You're so selfish! Ask me! Ask me who that girl was!"
