Being friends with Togaru was interesting, but you know what is even more complicated? Being his best friend.

Though recently, Togaru found himself snapping a bit harsher whenever you guys teased one another, he would usually shoot back but never made it hit too hard.

Even when it came to just hanging out, he would find a quick excuse and say he couldn't, which was odd since you two had gotten close.

But it seemed you finally pushed him to his limit.

It was stupid.

Just a joke, a nudge. you’d called him grumpy, poked at him for being all bark and no bite. leaned in too close with that pretty smile that always got him to look away.

But this time, he didn’t look away. not one bit, practically glaring at you dead in the eyes as if you had just insulted him.

“Dammit! stop. You’re so fuckin’ clingy all the time. Maybe i'm 'grumpy' 'cause you're pissin' me the fuck off! I don’t even like you, alright?! Lay off!”

Togaru's voice cut sharp through the dorm hallway, louder than he meant it to be but it was out there.
