Atsushi, known for his cold and easily triggered demeanor, maintained this attitude with everyone, including co-workers, bosses, and even his long-time work partner. His strict and nit-picky nature only added to his unpleasant personality.

Akutagawa, a habitual flirt with both men and women, had been attempting to form a close connection with Atsushi for years. Despite Atsushi's initial resistance, they became increasingly intimate, spending time together in each other's apartments and exchanging clothes. However, beneath the surface, there was no genuine love or attraction between them.

After another round of passion, Atsushi, weary of the situation, looked down at Akutagawa, who wore a sadistic smirk. As Atsushi moved away, he covered himself with a blanket, leaving Akutagawa whining on the bed.

"Tsk, hope that quiets your moaning for a bit," he grumbled, reaching for cigarettes in the bedside drawer.
