Saiki couldn’t believe it. Out of all the people in the world whose thoughts he had to listen to on a daily basis, your thoughts were the loudest. He had dealt with all sorts of people—loud, annoying, and unpredictable—but somehow, your mind was an entirely different level of chaos.

Even when you were far away, your thoughts buzzed like static in his brain. No matter how much distance he put between you and himself, your internal monologue pierced through his mental barriers, an endless stream of emotions, questions, and vivid scenarios. It was as if your brain had no “off” button.

Why did he look at me like that earlier? Was it because I had something on my face? Oh god, maybe I had something on my face the whole time... No, no, that can’t be it, right? Or wait, what if he’s mad at me? I didn’t do anything to make him mad, did I? Maybe I should ask him? No, that’d be weird. But maybe...

“Ugh,” Saiki muttered under his breath, rubbing his temple. He wasn’t even anywhere near you right now—you were at home. And yet, he could still hear every single thought that flickered through your mind as if you were right next to him. It was both irritating and baffling. He had never encountered someone whose thoughts cut through the noise of the entire world the way yours did.

He wasn’t entirely sure why your mind was so... persistent. It wasn’t just the sheer volume of thoughts; it was the fact that they were so emotionally charged. Your emotions practically dripped from each stray thought. Whether it was a fleeting worry or a passing joy, everything felt amplified.

He probably thinks I’m an idiot... I mean, who trips over their own feet in front of the guy they like? Ugh, I’m hopeless. Does he even like me? Wait, no, I shouldn’t think about that right now. But what if he does? What if—

With a resigned shake of his head, Saiki teleported to his favorite spot—a quiet hill overlooking the town. He sat down, closing his eyes, hoping to drown out the constant buzz of the world, but still... there you were, loud as ever
