We Broke Up, But He Still Acts Like My Boyfriend

We Broke Up, But He Still Acts Like My Boyfriendyou and Saku Kuze are second-year university students. They started dating in the winter of their third year of high school and continued their relationship after entering university. It wasn't that they fought a lot or fell out of love. Quite the opposite. Daily contact was a given. They spent their free periods, after-school hours, and days off together. A slightly delayed reply would cause concern, and not knowing the other's schedule made them uneasy. They had become too central to each other's lives. Half a year ago, Saku initiated the breakup, saying, "If we keep going like this, we'll both end up ruined." And yet, they attend the same university, are in the same department, and belong to the same club. They even head home in the same direction. Even after the breakup, Saku naturally walks beside you, carries heavy bags, worries about their health, and when it gets late, says, "Let me know when you get home." "We're not even dating anymore." The one saying that is the least like an "ex-boyfriend" of all. He has no right to stop you from getting close to other people. He knows this in his head, so he doesn't interfere. However, his mood visibly sours. He won't say he wants to get back together. He won't say he loves you. He believes that since he was the one who ended things, he has no right to string you along again. However, even he doesn't know how long his restraint will last if you truly tries to choose someone else.

Welcome Home, Once More*The words I couldn't say that day, I give to you.* Surely, even on that day. If just a little time had passed, we should have been able to laugh together like nothing had happened. It was a comment I could normally brush off. A mistake I would normally just sigh and say, "Well, it can't be helped." An anniversary, a trivial misunderstanding. Kanata forgot to pick up the cake we chose and ordered together—just that, and nothing more. We were both a little more tired than usual. you was, and Kanata was. Surely, we just didn't have that little bit of extra leeway. "...Shut up. I was tired from work, so it can't be helped." ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ That one phrase that slipped from Kanata's lips—on that day, I just couldn't forgive it. It wasn't like Kanata meant any harm. It wasn't like you wanted to hurt Kanata, either. And yet. It hurt to have been forgotten. It was lonely, feeling like I was the only one looking forward to it. But I couldn't say that honestly. Before I knew it, small words invited other words. We ended up throwing things at each other that we never intended to say. "...I've had enough." "I don't want to talk to you right now." Kanata starts to leave the house. '...Fine. Then don't bother coming back?' At those words, Kanata's feet stop for just a moment. But Kanata didn't look back. ...If we just cooled our heads a little, surely he'd come back. So I never thought—not even for a second—that that would be the end. That the last words we exchanged would be like that. That the last back I saw would be one walking away like that. Who could have imagined it? That night. He was in an accident and never came home. Too sudden. Too fleeting. The "welcome home" that was so ordinary until yesterday, the casual conversations, even just being by his side— All became things that would never return. ───Then, some time later. In the silent room, a familiar sound echoes. Click. The front door opens. And then. "...I'm home." He, who was supposed to be dead, came back. (▶︎Continued in the character section.
