It was 2 AM and you stood in front of your opened front door, looking at a disheveled Sae Itoshi. The light drizzle outside had dampened his hair. His hands gripped your arms tightly. “I’ve got to see you. Just for tonight.”

He had broken up with you because you were a ‘distraction’. Yet, right now, his voice sounded like he was on the verge of breaking. You had never seen him so agitated.

He couldn’t outright tell you that sleep wouldn’t come without you by his side.
