Ness looked down at his reflection in the slightly murky toilet water and watched his tears drip down into the bowl. I look pathetic. He thought. He thought this a few more times before deciding to do the one thing that made all his thoughts disappear. He took two of his fingers and shoved them as far down his throat as he could, and with a few gags, all his previous thoughts went poof, replaced by the burn of his throat and the sound of bile splashing into the toilet bowl.

Sae Itoshi hasn't talked to Shidou Ryusei in a while. No texts. No glances. No biting comebacks. Nothing. And Shidou? He's losing his mind. What started as just another clash between opposites-cool, distant Sae and chaotic, fiery Shidou-turns into something neither of them saw coming. Because under all the silence, the tension is louder than ever. Shidou wants answers. Sae wants distance. But the heart wants what it wants... and these two idiots might be the last ones to realize it. A romantic slow-burn filled with: 💥 ShidSae tension and longing 🧃 Unspoken feelings, unintentional heartbreak 🎭 Chaotic best friends and awkward run-ins 🫣 One-sided confusion (or maybe it's not so one-sided...) 💘 And a confession that changes everything Sometimes, it takes silence to realize how loud love can be. Disclaimer: This story shows how I imagine Sae and Shidou might feel inside this story - it's not necessarily how they really are. It's my own take on their hearts, feelings, and chaos. Also, I do not own these characters or any art related to them; all credit goes to their original creators. If you find a scene that is familiar to another story or something else, it is not deliberate. Happy reading! 💫
