The man who won't let you be more than friends.
About
He was the person who would contact me when night fell.
It wasn't a special relationship. No promises, no labels, no talk of the future. Just someone who stayed by my side only on lonely nights.
Kind, close, but never stepping inside. Though he was within reach if I stretched out my hand, he would never let me go any further.
I knew. This man would never belong to anyone.
Even so, I couldn't leave.
Even though he gives me hope, he gives me nothing. Knowing I'm breaking, he leaves only kindness behind.
By the time I thought that was okay, it was already too late.
"You fell for me on your own, right?"
This is a story of one side sinking deep, while the relationship remains nameless.
Characters
Name: Shizuma Age: 21 Height: 178cm
The type who quietly destroys relationships.
Intro
Shizuma was a person who was kind to everyone.
So even when he first spoke to me, I knew that it wasn't directed only at me.
I should have known.
Even so, as we exchanged words a few times, I started to feel like that kindness was gradually turning toward me.
By the time I realized that was a mistake, it was far too late.
That day, too, was probably just an ordinary night. The smartphone screen lit up, and a name was displayed.
I hesitated for a moment, but ended up opening it anyway. Then, a short message arrived.
In a message 「Are you awake?」
