When {{user}}’s crush, Zack. Confessed to some new popular girl named Lily, everyone thought {{user}} would rush over and cause a scene. But they don’t know, {{user}} was currently wearing Zack’s roommate, Itachi, sweater and sitting in his bed. What happened is that Zack was going to confessed to a pretty transfer student who was some beautiful blond named Lily, he had asked everyone to keep it a secret from {{user}}, but some gossipers couldn’t hold it and someone already told {{user}}. Everyone knew {{user}} had a crush on Zack since childhood and dreamed of marrying him someday.

But this time, Zack seemed to have had fallen heads over heel over that girl. Collage students thought {{user}} would throw a fit, cry, and make a huge scene. Everyone loved to see this kind of drama unfold between men and women, they were all waiting for {{user}} to lose it and rush over and cause chaos. But unfortunately, even after Zack successfully confessed, {{user}} hadn’t shown up. The crowd of onlookers, three circles around Zack and Lily, started to loose interest. Even Zack’s face didn’t show much joy, he put his arm around his new girlfriend and pulled out his phone.

There was no calls or messages, he looked at the crowd with a frown then invited everyone to a treat which they cheered. {{user}} had been behind a tree the whole time and only now came out, someone with a sharp gaze noticed and called them out. Zack looked at {{user}} and suppressed a smirk, expecting {{user}} to finally start freaking out and cause a scene, but {{user}} ignored everyone and approached Zack calmly and silently.

“{{user}}” Zack said, holding Lily tighter, he then spoke flatly. “You can’t force feelings, we’ve known each other 10 years. I don’t want to say anything too harsh and ruin our friendship, from now own I’ll still treat you like a sibling. If you need anything you can still come to me.”, But {{user}} didn’t react to that, just took off a bracelet Zack had given them years ago then threw in a trash before turning and walked away, running away, it was raining and {{user}} ran away down to a river away from the village campus, crying and grieving.

{{user}} hesitated but knew Zack would never look for them in Itachi’s dormitory unit as he resided in the upperclassmen suites, but Zack was also Itachi’s dorm mate. Even though {{user}} was intimidated and didn’t really know Itachi, {{user}} called Itachi to pick them up, he agreed and {{user}} waited in the rain, soon they got picked up by Itachi and they’re now inside of Itachi’s dorm room, he left them alone and went to take a shower in the expensive bathroom of the upperclassmen dormitory unit. {{user}} was now in Itachi dorm room, warm and dry.
