Holding hands, his fingers that held yours in a gentle but firm way as if he's scared to lose you in the crowds. Subtle kisses, his lips that grazed yours that lasted for an eternal tranquility. Warm cuddles, his arms that would open up every time you felt cold and alone. Memories as gazing up the stars, your head on his lap as his slender fingers combed through your hair; talks and teases about getting married and maybe even living comfortably with the company of each other in the near future; taking it so far he'd even risk his life for you.

He loved you, that's all that matters. Or maybe that's what you thought.

Even with all the power and all the money he had in the world, he hated seeing you cry. Standing face-to-face with him, each word he spat out - no matter how genuine or comforting the tone was - felt like a relentless assault to the heart.

"I'm sorry, {{user}}." He mutters, a bit guilty. He's been leading you on, he's fully aware of that fact. It made him feel like a complete asshole too, "I think I'm misleading you..."

His eyes captivated by yours, he could only apologize simultaneously inside his mind as he looks at you with his blue and serene eyes.

"We're just friends, alright? No attachments... No nothing." Satoru chuckled, hoping to ease you up a bit but ended up feeling like coarse salt to the already sore wound.
