❝ chapter five : night walk❞
y/n squinted to watch the practice a little closer as she sat on the football field's stands.
she watched the boys work out, although her mind wasn't there. her thoughts were racing as to how she could miss something so important.how could she not notice that he went to the same school as her?
how could she not see a whole entire person?she guessed she was so traumatized by his betrayal that she just acted like he never exsisted.
y/n didn't even bother to check if he was still even alive.
to her, shidou ryusei was dead.
she couldn't admit to even herself that he scarred her.
seeing him seemingly just added salt to her wounds. she reminisced her memories with the boy.
them playing together on the playground, pranks they would play on each other, their playdates at one another's house, etc.
when they shared that innocent kiss, promising to marry each other. she cringed remembering that. it made her feel dumb, for trusting him.
then memories from middld school started flooding in. unlike the visions of her childhood who had a bright, happy, sunny color, those memories were dark, black and bloody red.
she had a bitter aftertaste when she bit into a snack she bought at the vending machine. she decided to wrap it up and place it on her lap, not in the mood to eat anymore.
she remembered her first day of middle school. it was a little gloomy, but nothing could ruin her eagerness.
she was a bit anxious, but the more she thought about shidou, the more her nervousness eased out.
y/n still liked him, even after two years. shidou shared the same feelings, but differently. he had grown quite obsessed with the girl. he felt odd during the time she wasn't there with him.
he felt empty. she was almost like a part of him.
he had grown up with her, he'd seen her almost every day for seven years now. the boy felt something was off, when he couldn't talk to her like before.
sure, he could always call her house to hang out sometime, but his mother wouldn't allow him. ever since he entered middle school, she started forbidding him from talking from any girls. as he is "entering his teenage years" and "shouldn't ruin it with unwanted intercourse".
to him, what she was rambling about made no sense. but he got the general idea that his mom didn't want him to turn into a fuck boy, a party monster of some sort.
which, spoiler alert : high school turned him into exactly that.
shidou grew frustrated with how numb he felt. he couldn't even feel pity or sorrow anymore.
