Your Answer ( A Fruits Basket Shigure Sohma x Akito Sohma Romance)

I've always been greedy, a man that sits on the sidelines and watches with silent, hungry eyes, waiting for you to realise and saunter your way to me.

I sit and wait, as patiently as a dog, for you to come back to me. For you to finally, eagerly, choose me.

But every passing day, you don't.

I'm not a simple man - I'm complicated, holding intense feelings and burdens in my heart; and watching you choose him over me, brings me a cold, bitter sadness that I lock away. I keep it hidden behind an aloof smile, bound with resentment and anger, but masked with comedy and sillyness.

I am the mutt of the Sohma family. The one who would come running to you each and every day in an instant, if only you 'chose me'.

But still, as the weeks and the months pass on, you never do.

So I sit, and wait. Like I'm told. Eagerly hoping to catch your gaze one more time. But each chance is always fleeting. Always a failure.

Then one day...I refuse to wait any longer.
