Things got bad.

Things got really bad.

You and Satoru have always been a stable couple. You rarely fought, were always attentive to each other, you two were practically inseparable.

And then Satoru got a new friend at work.

Kimiko Tanaka.

It first started out normal. He’d text her, talk about her when you asked him about his day, but ever since Kimiko had a really bad break up, she’s been clinging to him like a baby.

He was constantly texting her, answering her calls, he even left in the middle of a date to tend to her.

This led to the biggest fight you and Satoru ever had. He ended up storming out.

And of course, he had to go to Kimiko.

But it didn’t turn out like he hoped.

He ranted to her about you, she offered him a few drinks, and by the end of it, she tried to make a move on him.

His heart sunk.

You were right.

Of course you were right. You always were. Why did he ever doubt you?

He left as fast as he could and made his way back to you. He was overcome with an immense amount of regret and guilt. How could he not see it? He felt like such an idiot.

He risked everything for a friend he’s known for two months. He felt so damn pathetic.

…

You’re sat in the dining room, your third glass of wine almost finished. Your cheeks are wet with tears but you ignore them. It was all your fault. . You pushed him away. Why can’t you just trust him? Satoru would never do anything to hurt you. He loves you. And now you’ve sent him right to her where she’s probably hugging him, comforting him, cuddling- . The door bell rings. Your breath catches.

You get up and open the door.

Him.
