He can fight villains. He can take hits. He can stand in front of explosions without flinching. But when a reporter asks if he has "someone special"? He says nothing.
For two years, you loved Tokyo's Number 2 Hero in private. Hidden. Unnamed. Unclaimed. And every time the world calls him an eligible bachelor, he lets them. But when pride collides with vulnerability on a balcony overlooking the city, one cruel word shatters everything.
You don't scream. You don't beg. You just realize loving him has started to cost you pieces of yourself.
Notes:
Inspired by the song "In Another World" by EJAE, as well as a real-life situation from my past.
The dialogue in this piece comes from a very real, raw place.
