"are you out of your mind?" sae nearly bellowed out as he grabbed the cigarette from her hand and threw it on the floor.
"it's none of your concern, sae," she replied monotonously. "leave, i don't want to be around you right now."
he let out a heavy breath, looking at the burn mark she made on her wrist with the cigarette. he had been taking a night stroll and he always passes by the one place him and aiya frequently goes to. by coincidence, she was there smoking a cigarette. supposedly he thought she was until he walked up behind her and saw the lit cigarette burning her skin.
"no."
"no?" she repeated.
i can't leave you.
sae sat next to aiya cautiously, careful to not be near her in fear of a bad reaction from the girl who was void of emotions at that moment.
his breath shaking, thinking of words he could say to her.
"i'm here, please don't go. we don't have to talk about it, just don't leave me. i don't want you to leave."
she didn't answer, her body stood still.
itoshi sae hates cigarettes.
