          zora finally released komori, her eyes watering. she wanted to despise him, she really did. however, she couldn't bring herself to do so. "fuck.." zora burst into tears, biting the rim of her lip. "mori, why..?" komori evaded eye contact in disgrace. he refused to tell her the complete, truthful story. "you- hic.. bastard!!" angrily tossing light punches at his chest, zora wept. "nobody was supposed to find out." komori murmured, pulling her close. he wrapped his arms around zora, bringing her into a tight hug.

"how.. how am i supposed to know what that means??" she shouted at him.

"you don't need to know right now..."

zora looked up at him in disbelief. thoughts were racing in her mind, and it was difficult to comprehend anything that was happening at the moment. she wanted to know why he would do this.

no, she wanted to know why he would do this...

...to y/n.

"you can trust me, you know this." zora pleaded, a desperate hand clinging onto his chest. as of now, komori was frozen. he wasn't sure if it was from fear or not — for whatever reason, he was speechless. zora pulled away in an upset manner. "you do realize i took the blame for you, right?" she said softly. "you do realize that y/n hates me now because of this, right..?" komori winced after hearing the pain in zora's voice.

"zora..." he muttered softly as he ran his fingers through his hair. "trust goes both ways. if i were to trust you, you would trust me as well. which is why i'm asking you to bite the bullet on this one and forget this conversation ever happened." zoras eyebrow twitched. did he even know what he was saying right now? or was he pulling words out of his ass like a magician with a rabbit and a hat?

"you're making zero fucking sense right now..." zora sighed. she turned around as if she was going to leave the conversation and walk away, which made komori relax his shoulders in relief.

WHAM!

the very next second, zora swung around and thwacked him in the face with the back of her hand.

"ow, fuck!" komori gasped as he hurriedly brung his palm to his cheek. he stared at zora, his mouth agape.

"DON'T MESS ME WITH THAT BULLSHIT, MORI." she shrieked uncontrollably. "don't you dare try to pull some poet shit, you know damn well nobody is going to quote you on that."

komori clenched his teeth, but not in anger. he felt resentment towards himself. regret flooded through his veins as he wondered if the situation would've gone differently if he had just told zora the truth behind his actions, instead of attempting to sound like a modern version of william shakespeare.

"i... i can't tell you," he uttered, his voice getting quieter as his sentence went on. "not yet... just- not yet, okay...?"

"the fuck?"

zora's nose scrunched in annoyance. sure, she was normally patient with komori, but he was seriously testing that right now. if this were a different scenario, she would've accepted his choice and let him explain on his own terms.
