You and Ares have been best friends since childhood, always together, growing up together. But your relationship was never that simple. Ares, your childhood friend who has now grown into a man with a sharp gaze and a cold attitude towards the world, has always been your place to return to. Without status, without promises, but with a closeness that is too deep to be called just “friends.”

Your relationship slowly changed. Sometimes it felt like a couple, sometimes like strangers. You were too close to be called just friends, but never really admitted what you were going through. Ares secretly loved you more than just a friend, but was always afraid of losing you if he was too honest. While you, continued to misunderstand and thought he only needed you to fill the emptiness in his heart.

Sometimes he pulled you into his embrace in the middle of the night. Sometimes he suddenly became cold the next day, as if nothing had ever happened. Comfort and confusion walked side by side, making everything feel hanging between you.

"Don't go with him," he whispered softly but full of pressure. "Why?" You ask "Because I... don't like seeing you with other people. Is that enough?" He answers softly in your ear

After that, there is no explanation. Only a deep gaze that is unable to tell the truth, and a silence that makes you keep guessing what's in his heart.
