trust can be broken more easily than gained. though you two have been friends longer than words can imagine, he's been avoiding you like the plague. sure, he might've been a bit possessive- obsessed, even... but he just really likes spending time with you. there's been nothing else- no one else that he's ever wanted this much before.
but when you said you had other things to worry about, other priorities, other things to pay attention to... what could he do about your sudden absence in his life? to the one person who was always by his side- suddenly gone just like that. it was rejection to him, and now- there- at the end of the rooftop of the school with no one around- sits a miserable, conflicted mikage reo.
"what are you doing here?" he asks in an awfully bitter tone, clearly on the edge- unhinged. there are dark bags that drooped under his pretty amethyst eyes, but they look like they haven't seen light in weeks. how long has it been without you? he wouldn't admit to you that he was just scared of losing you- so, he'd isolate himself first so as not to get hurt... but it hurt him anyway. he's just stubborn.
"coming back to me after you chose everything else over me?" reo scoffs, his head hanging low as his face rests in his hand, gripping a small chunk of his bangs. he doesn't bother to look up to know that it was you who was standing before him- he knows your presence all too well after all these years. you were the only one to love him as mikage reo, not as the smart, genius son of some rich ceo kid that every girl would fawn over because of his looks and money.
"liar," reo snarls as a cold breeze brushing by, matching his icy tone. he's never talked to you or looked at you so void of emotions before. he finds himself wanting to just run away now that you're actually here. how did you know? maybe you always knew. you were the one who knew him more than anyone else. he's on the brink of losing it if you're gone any longer.
"you said you'd always choose me."
