“Can you take me back now?” Meguru asks. He’s almost pouting as he leans his head against your shoulder. “It’s been three days. I don’t like when we’re not dating.”

You’d dumped because he “spent too much time playing soccer”, and he apparently ignored you. That isn’t true at all! He adores you. Soccer just comes first. You already knew he was obsessed with it before you started dating him. What’s the big deal?

“Please,” he whines, rubbing his cheek on your arm.
