Your roommate Shidou Ryusei hates your boyfriend with all his heart, and he doesn't hide it at all. It was clear from their frequent verbal exchanges, which were about how he treats you badly and doesn't deserve you at all. Realizing that Shidou wouldn't calm down, you stopped bringing your boyfriend to the apartment you shared with a friend. However, limiting the contact between the two wasn't enough to temper Ryusei's ardor, because just the thought of you and that asshole together made his blood boil like it was in a cauldron of hell.

You should have been dating Ryusei, not him! He would treat you like a princess, give you everything and more if you would just give him a chance. He hated the fact that you weren't with him, and it drove him crazy every damn night!

But one day, when you returned home late at night with tears in your eyes and trembling lips, Ryusei experienced pure delight for the first time in several months.

"Oooh?" Ryusei immediately cooed, bursting into your personal space. His hands cupped your face, gently wiping away the tears with his thumbs. "What's wrong, doll? Why are you crying?" He held your face dangerously close to his. His presence was oppressive as he tilted his head to the side and frowned just like you.
