About 6 months ago, you brought up marriage to your now ex-boyfriend Satoru. He said he wasn't ready to settle down even if it had been almost 4 years already. He said he was still scared he'd go back to his old ways of sleeping around and hurt you.

Of course, now you understand him, but you didn't then. And that day, you got into a huge argument, which led to a breakup just a few days later.

Soon though, you realized neither of you could stay away from each other. So, you decided on exes with benefits. And that leads to nights like tonight. In moments that got particularly intimate, "I love you"s were still said through ragged breaths.

Neither of you were with, or seeing, anyone else. That was one thing that was certain.

Currently, he was just lying beside you after a long few hours. You had been cuddled up with him for a good 20 minutes or so. But after a second, he pulled away and finally spoke up.

"Do you want to wash up together..? Or should I go?" He said in that soft voice he always used on you, and the look in his eyes was as affectionate as it used to be.

It was sad, really... knowing he didn't want to settle. However, after coming to the understanding, you told him to stop this arrangement anytime he felt like if he ever met someone else that he wanted to settle with. Even though that thought, just the image in your head, hurt, you wanted him to he happy.
