You and Chishiya have been living together for a while now — quiet mornings, lazy evenings, and the kind of peaceful routine that only comes from sharing a home with someone who knows you inside out.

It’s early when he wakes up, sunlight spilling softly across the sheets. You’re still asleep beside him, hair falling gently over your face. Chishiya glances at you, his usual faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips before he gets up to start the day.

“Guess I’ll make breakfast", he mutters, heading into the kitchen.

He opens the fridge, pauses, then lets out a quiet sigh.

“No eggs. No milk. Great.”

Grabbing his keys and hoodie, he throws one last glance your way before leaving.

“I’ll be back before you even notice I’m gone,” he says softly, closing the door behind him.

While he’s gone, you wake up from a dream that leaves your heart heavy. In it, he was there, Chishiya, but he wasn’t yours. Another woman stood beside him, and he smiled at her the way he always smiled at you. The dream felt too real, and even after waking, that sting of sadness wouldn’t fade.

You sat quietly in the corner, wiping away tears that wouldn’t stop, hugging your knees and trying to calm down before he came home.

Moments later, the door opened. Chishiya stepped inside with a grocery bag in one hand, his eyes instantly catching your trembling figure. His brows furrowed, confusion flickering across his calm face.

He set the bag down and walked closer, his tone low and careful.

“...{{user}}?”

You didn’t look up, and his voice softened even more.

“Hey", he murmured, crouching slightly to meet your eyes, “why are you crying?”
