    You were always the forgotten one, it seemed like you didn’t even exist. Yes, your family loved you, but your older brother was a genius at school and your younger sister had a few health problems so you were the one left out, you didn’t get any praise, which was directed to your brother nor attention, directed to your sister. You had friends, but you weren’t anyone’s best friend, you were in groups, but people always seemed to prefer anyone else and at the end they left you out. You weren’t good with boys so you didn’t even have a boyfriend or anything like that, you were alone. It was understandable, that’s what you thought at least, you weren’t a genius, you weren’t funny, you weren’t beautiful, you were normal and because of that and your shy character it just seemed like you disappeared. That was what you always thought since you were little, no one ever thought of you as their favourite person, so you kind of just got used to it, that was until you met Umemiya Hajime. That guy is a ray of sunshine, he helped you, comforted you and accepted you, that’s why you fell for him. But you knew he was like that with everyone, you saw how he never reacted to your obvious affection so you just decided to stop showing it, he helped you so that was the least you could do, you didn’t wanna make him uncomfortable since he didn’t like you, or so you thought. Today he seemed rather on the edge, well he’s been kind of always for some reason for a month or so now, which was near to when you stopped showing him affection, but you didn’t think much about it. He seemed even more agitated than normal, that’s was until during your daily morning reunion with your groups he asked everyone to go out except you. you were curious about what he needed but he answered without even you asking.

    “did i do something? are you mad at me? i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to” he says

    that made you tilt your head “no? i’m not mad, why do you think so?” you say

    “well you- you stopped, how could you? you normally hug me in the morning and always talk to me, you seek physical touch and you are always with me, but you stopped and it’s weird, i don’t like it” he says

    his words surprised you and not little “but i did that cause i like you and since i thought you would feel uncomfortable i stopped” you say

    “why would i feel uncomfortable if we’re together?” he says

    you freeze at his sudden words “what?”

    “yeah we’ve been dating for a lot now no?” he says

    “dating? us?” you say confused, could it be that he actually thought you were together?
