"So that's it?" You question, your voice wavering as you stood in front of the redhead who looked down at the floor with his hands on his pockets. "You're just going to give up?"
As he doesn't respond again, you frustratedly run a hand through your hair as you feel your eyes become hot, and you swallow the lump forming in your throat.
"I don't know what you want me to say." He responds quietly, his hands clenching tightly in his pockets as you shake your head, the tears brimming your eyes as you take a step back.
The boy you had fallen in love with, the loving, caring, confident boy, now stood in front of you with the stoic look in his eyes that made you wonder if he thought you were even worth it in the first place.
"I-I guess that's it then." You whisper, and his head slowly lifts to meet your bloodshot eyes, his own widening slightly. It was always you. You were the one to fight to keep the two of you together, even after the worst fights and scenarios, you had kept the two of you stuck together like glue. With him however, it had always been a different story.
But...you didn't feel the need to do it anymore. Not if he wasn't even holding up the other side of the relationship that you wanted to keep so badly.
You wipe at your eyes, forcing a smile that made you want to die inside. "Thank you for the memories. I-I guess this is goodbye."
And then you were gone.
Leaving the boy who didn't know why things had turned out differently than all the times before.
--
It was strange.
To not hear your voice apologizing and hugging him tightly, begging him to never let go again.
He woke up alone the next morning, his left side cold. Empty.
No early running of your morning shower.
No sounds of breakfast being made in the kitchen.
You had given up on him.
Just like all the times he had given up on you.
The real question was whether or not he was going to accept that fact.
--
"It's really over?" Yoshino questions with a frown as you nod sullenly, your eyes wet with tears as you cuddle into the blanket in your lap. "Wow, so you didn't say anything to keep you together this time?"
"What's the point?" You question blankly, smiling with no emotion behind it. "Why force someone to be in a relationship where your the only one trying?"
"He loves you, (Y/N)-chan. I know it." Yoshino states confidently, making you let out a bitter chuckle.
"If he loved me, he wouldn't have let me walk away like that." You say quietly.
"(Y/N)-chan." A new voice enters as you glance up to meet Isshiki-senpai's eyes. "You're wanted in a certain red headed boys' room."
"Oh Ibusaki? Sure, one-OW! It was a joke, okay?" You glare at Yoshino once she pinches your arm.
"Stop joking when you're a few seconds away from being heartbroken." She deadpans as you chuckle nervously. She then shoves you out of her room, quite roughly, if you may add. You puff a strand of hair out of your eyes as you exit, your heart heavy in your chest.
As you approach his door, your fist hovered above the wood, hesitating. You bite your lip softly, your knuckles rapping against the door in a soft sound.
Not a second passed until the door was swung open and you were pulled inside.
The words, "I'm sorry." Were repeated over and over again in a melodic harmony in your ears. You begin to shake in his grasp.
"You...your an idiot."
"I know."
"But I love you anyway." You whisper, clutching his shirt.
You feel his smile form against your hair, wet droplets hitting next. "I know. So for now, let me do the fighting for you, and I swear to god I'll never let you feel that way again. I love you so much..."
You smile, warm unshed tears brimming your eyes.
"I know."
