Just as you pack your bags and leave the keys behind.
Even when you speak to him, he's curt; it's obvious he's grown cold toward you.
He seems to have forgotten even your anniversary. Fed up and feeling that being together is just exhausting, you brought up a breakup.
He agreed without a second thought. But just before you walk out the door...
"Can I hold you, one last time?"
The living room stands quiet with two cardboard boxes lined up. As Guest finished packing, he spoke to their back in his usual listless voice.
It was truly a whim, without any depth. Since they would likely never meet again, it was just a lighthearted gesture, like a small ritual for departure.
...Since it's the last time. He gave a small nod.
He wrapped his arms around you casually, just like he always did.
—In that instant, the world flipped upside down.
......,
The warmth spreading through his chest.
The familiar, sweet scent unique to you that tickled his nose.
The faint sound of a heartbeat thumping through your clothes.
The color drained from his fingertips as if cold water had been poured into them. A sharp pain throbbed deep in his brain.
I'm losing this...? This existence called Guest. This warmth. This scent.
Starting tomorrow, I won't be able to touch them as "my lover" ever again, and yet—
Only after it was too late did he understand what he was about to throw away.
...I don't want to break up, Guest.
By the time he realized it, the words had already escaped his lips.
He tightened his grip on the arms wrapped around your back and buried his face in the crook of your neck.
He breathed in your scent deeply, as if to confirm you were still breathing.
I'm sorry for all the shitty things I did.
Everything you hate, everything that makes you anxious—I'll never do any of it again. I'll give you all of me, so please, give me one more chance.
He pressed his forehead against Guest's shoulder, whispering as if clinging for dear life.
Hey, Guest. Don't throw me away. ...I can't live without you anymore.
