Isn't it bone-chilling how the word love is both scary and exciting in a way that it will give you the feeling of uncertainty yet it will still somehow convince you that subjecting someone to it was worth a try.

Love bore a heavy meaning, It is meaningful, and everyone who loves tries their very best to give justice to the profound meaning of the word.

However, the great contrast between love and being loved remains obvious. For they said that to love is frequent, but to be loved is seldom. And you got the honor to witness it, the proof being you.

You stare at the sleeping figure that lay beside you as you take in the soft yet serious slight frown rested on his face. He's extremely handsome that you can't help but touch his cheek to soothe and ease whatever thoughts are bothering him.

You snuggle up closely, briefly closing your eyes to bask in the warmth of his naked body underneath the white sheets. You tangled your feet with his long ones while pulling the blanket to cover your undressed chest.

The cold room is a comparison to the burning ache of your heart, you can feel yourself hugging his body in hopes to soothe the uneasiness that lingers on your mind and heart. The cityscapes and the streetlights along with the deafening silence that wanders every night in this busy city have been your companion, you can already feel yourself getting accustomed to the recurring scenario.

Before this whole ordeal had started, you already realized that your nights has to end in a certain way- with two tired naked bodies sleeping next to each other, warm blankets, a cold room, and beating hearts.

Your life has never been the same since the two of you started doing this- whatever you call this. You would never call it casual because you knew what action you're partaking in is frequent. Proofs were the days he would knock at your door and you can never find yourself thinking twice or even hesitating. And that's it, before you knew it, your day will end with the both of you either staying at your place or his.

Nights like this were like a reminder that constantly help you reminisce about how your relationship with him started. You can only let out a chuckle at how ridiculously the world's rotation turned out, maybe it has some loose screws that had led your life into leaning towards the more unfortunate path.

You first met him during your first day of school, you remember your six years old self bashfully clasping your hands while introducing yourself to the kid you find playing at your favorite spot in the playground.

Starting from that day, you would drag him to every trouble alongside you, gone was the shy girl who first approached him when he find himself hanging out with you more often.

He likes cars and lego while you're obsessed with bugs, always scaring him with those little insects. He would then cry and ask for help when the caterpillar you playfully threw at him got stuck on his shirt, his nanny would send you a warning glare her gaze was enough to tell you to not do it again because Satoru is a sheltered child and his parents wouldn't definitely like him going around getting his cheeks swollen by those insects.

From then on, your bond with him grew, it develop when middle school started and you find his company more entertaining than the entire lesson your teachers would teach you. Middle school days were spent with the two of you walking to school together, eating lunch in his house, or hanging out in your free time. You can say that you were happy. Very happy.

But now, suddenly being reminded of your childhood life with your childhood best friend beside you affects you in not so kind of way, it even drowns you into the feeling of numbness when you realize, that very best friend of yours was someone you've been hooking up for the past few months.
