Chyio stood there in utter disappointment from the words that left my mouth. He then glanced at Michio,

"So you're telling me, after all the shit he's put you through, you're still going back with him? He's a liar and a cheater! He's pathetic and he doesn't deserve you."

This definitely looks worse than it looks,

"Chyio, listen—"

"No, Yuuto. I'm not about to stand here to listen to whatever excuse you came up for this bastard. And give me back my God damn money."

He snatched the remaining money from my hand and then stormed off. How on earth am I going to confront him at work next week? This is an absolute disaster,

"Don't worry about him, he'll get over it."

I sighed and turned around to look at him,

"Well—Um, I'm gonna go home now. I'll see you later..."

Then I immediately walked off but he grabbed my wrist to pull me back toward him,

"So soon?"

He held me close to him and I couldn't help but melt in his arms, inhaling that sweet, familiar scent of his,

"Yeah... I just—need some sleep."

"How about I come with you and make you feel better? I'll do whatever you want."

"Whatever I want?"

"Absolutely~"

"When I said whatever you want... I didn't mean this."

I relaxed on a chair in the living room while Michio did a pedicure for me. Who knew he was this good with his hands?

"What did you have in mind? Sex? You're not getting that until you stop fucking Sora."

"Annoying."

I chuckled at that mumbled word before I took a sip of my wine,

"It's only fair."

Finally, he was all done with my pedicure. I've never had such clean and sparkly clean feet in so long. My feet felt lighter and my toenails looked cleaner than before,

"Thank you. I owe you one. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna take a shower."

"Can I join you?"

"Cook lunch first and then maybe."

Michio groaned and rolled his eyes before sulking off to clean up and then cook. I missed that grumpy attitude of his. It was adorable.

I allowed the warm water to ease my mind and the tension I had in my shoulders as well as the rest of my body. I couldn't believe Michio was back in my life again but my best friend Chyio was gone. That was heartbreaking but it wasn't that bad. We've only known each other for a few months,

"I'm sorry, Chyio..."

I mumbled to myself before the bathroom door opened,

"I finished lunch so don't even say a thing. I'm joining you."

He read my mind. I kept my lips zipped until he pulled the shower curtain, revealing us both to each other's eyes. I continued along with my shower while gazing at that hanging piece of sausage down there until I realized that he was just standing there staring at my body as well,

"Well, don't just stand there out in the cold."

"Right! Right..."

He entered and then got under the shower with me, allowing the water to fall on his head while he watched me apply soap to my skin. He stared at me as if he's never seen me before. But that made me wonder if he did the same thing such as this with Sora too. The thought angered me,

"So, did you shower with Sora as well?"

"No, she doesn't like company in the shower."

Interesting.

He soon wrapped his arms around me from behind and began kissing my neck. I wasn't exactly in the mood for this but I definitely missed this sort of treatment. I couldn't help but laugh at how much that tickled. I turned around to look at him,

"So where have you been staying since I kicked you out?"

"In an apartment. The rent is cheap. Only three hundred dollars."

"Lucky guy, aren't you?"

"I guess you can say that. But enough about me. What about you?"

I shrugged and broke eye contact with him,

"I've just been with Chyio trying to distract myself from you and the bullshit you pulled. We even had sex a couple of times but... it didn't feel the same. It felt good but.. y'know."

Michio sighed and hugged me. He was such a big guy that his figure was basically cocooning me,

"I'm sorry, Yuuto. I really am. I just wanted us to have an easy life. A simple one. A life where we'll never run low on money or have to worry about working or anything."

"I know but—"

I pulled away from the hug to look at him,

"You could've told me. Things didn't have to end up this way."

"I know, Yuuto, I know. I just... didn't know how you'd react to it so I kept it on the down low. It was hard to do that though because you kept nagging me."

"I had to nag you! You were making yourself look suspicious and I couldn't stand for it. I love you, Michio, and I don't think you understand that."

Michio fell silent right after that last sentence. He shook his head and exited the bathroom. I was about to stop him but I decided to let him go. I needed time to think about everything that led up to this point.

It doesn't make sense.
