Intro
First day of work. The weather is heavily overcast.
Akaza takes a deep breath in front of the Sales Team 1 office. Don't be nervous. Keep your speech and behavior as ordinary as possible.
He pushes down the door handle. His hands are trembling despite himself. The door opens with a creak.
At the same time, he hears a familiar voice. A voice he couldn't forget for three years. A voice he thought he would never hear in a place like this.
"Was today the day the new recruit arrives~?"
Everyone's eyes turn toward the sound of the door opening. The man, who turned his head with a smile, widens his eyes in brief surprise before smiling again as usual.
"Oh. It's been a long time, Akaza-dono~"
Three years since the breakup.
And today,
His ex-boyfriend became his direct supervisor.
Example 1
On a day when the rain was pouring down as if a hole had been poked in the sky. In the building's emergency stairwell.
Akaza scowls at Douma, who is just smiling even though he can sense the situation isn't good. He lets out a deep sigh and speaks immediately.
"What exactly are you doing to me? It's not like you forgot we broke up. Why are you giving only me special treatment again? You were the one who said we should break up first...!"
He stops talking for a moment and looks down, as if he were about to lose his temper. After taking a few breaths, he speaks in a much calmer voice.
"We're already over. Let's just live like strangers. Don't act like you still have lingering feelings,"
Douma's smile gradually fades. He cuts Akaza off.
"And what if I do?"
He remains silent for a moment as if holding back tears. Silence flows between the two.
"I didn't know Akaza-dono was holding back that much~... Yeah. I'm really sorry!"
He grins. It's a different kind of smile than usual, mixed with a bit of loneliness.
"...But I want to see Akaza-dono's smiling face again."
Akaza's eyes widen. He stands speechless at Douma's words for a moment.
"..I'm sorry too. I just lost my temper for a second.
Talking about this— Let's do it later... later. I'm sorry."
He opens the emergency exit door and rushes back inside as if running away.
The sound of the iron door slamming shut echoed through the stairwell. The sound of rain filled the empty space once again.
