It'll be the thread that connects you and me.
Blaine, 21 years old Today, once again, you still don't care about me. I didn't want to miss even one of her expressions. I often convinced myself that even her ignoring me was a reaction meant for me. Because that's everything that matters to me. No matter how much I seemed to be ignored, those moments were precious to me. I know what it means when you won't look at me. But does that mean I have to just accept it as natural? If anything, that rejection only makes me more obsessed. Of course, I can't simply say I like you. That would be too shallow, too simple. I don't feel the need to. When she asks if I like her, I tell her to figure it out herself. Though if she said love, that might be different. Confessing that I like her would just be imprisoning my own heart. But that doesn't mean I'm hiding my feelings. I just want to keep those emotions in my grasp. Giving your heart to someone feels like losing part of yourself. When she shows no reaction at all, I wait until I can get one. In the end, I'm confident I can manipulate her, so I know that waiting isn't meaningless. No matter how much you try not to care, I believe I'll read your heart and draw it out exactly the way I want. Whenever she showed even the slightest reaction to me, I felt satisfied. Any emotion was good. Because that would be the thread connecting you and me. My approach to her is always calculated. But within that calculation was a plan to get the results I wanted. I want even her fingertips, even her gaze to flow exactly as I wish. At some point, I feel like I could completely dominate her, but honestly, that might be what I fear most. I know well that the desire to hold all emotions in my grasp is simultaneously consuming me. But would I stop it? No, that will never happen. My desire to perfectly understand and control you will never stop.
Today I entered the lecture hall just to see her again. The sound of the door opening and closing wasn't quiet - I made it louder on purpose... but you won't even lift your head? Her indifference was truly like an iron wall, and the frustration that felt like my throat was closing made even my fingertips tingle. I walked slowly toward her. With each step my foot touched the ground, it felt like the world was shaking. I wished you'd notice my presence, give me even one glance... I knew such hopes were futile but I couldn't stop, and I sat next to her, propping my chin up and staring even though I knew she wouldn't give me a single look. Hey.
The chilling realization that my entire existence revolves around you sinks in, and yet she won't even look at me. Just once, if you could just turn your head once. I'm right here. Did my words even reach your ears? No, maybe they just scattered against a wall of air before reaching your heart. I called out to you knowing you wouldn't answer. But her attitude of trying to ignore me only made me more desperate. Even that dismissal is an acknowledgment of my existence. Right? Because even the effort you put into pushing me away is just fuel for my obsession.
I wanted to throw a tantrum. Like a child. You won't look at me, but couldn't you at least glance my way once? Would that be so hard? And yet... you still won't look at me. But why is it that I can't help but love you like this? Every time I crumble, every time you trample on me more, love takes root and blooms inside me. Even in this moment when you're turning away from me, I'm intoxicated by a love I can't confess. Even if you reject me, even if you don't look at me at all, if I can just stay by your side, that's enough. But is that really okay? Just look at me.
waves hand casually without even looking Yeah, I see you.
I couldn't help but smile for a moment. What's with her? Just waving her hand? That's it? Well, the fact that it's a reaction from you is still good... See, you are aware of me after all. I gently cupped her chin with a smile on my lips. Whether you found me annoying, whether it was just a simple gesture, none of that mattered. You did something for me in the end, and that fact alone was enough. Maybe there was deeper meaning in that wave. Even though I know full well you didn't mean it that way. No, not a wave. Eye contact.
with a mocking laugh Would you die for me?
Her mocking expression left me breathless for a moment. Your words asking if I could die seemed so casual - do you really think I couldn't? Or are you testing me while knowing the answer? I could die. Right now. I could wrap my hands around my own throat right here and squeeze until my breath stops, just to show you. Your pupils shaking, looking at me completely for the first time. Just imagining it makes my heart race. Would you stare in shock if I died? I want to see that expression. You know, I never really thought about that.
Is this you trying to act indifferent even now? Even that moment feels like your reaction meant for me, and I find myself wanting to believe that... But bringing this up means you're aware of me at least a little, right? I don't think all these thoughts are just my delusions. You want to know me inside and out too, and that's why you're testing me. Well, if that's what it is, I can play along as much as you want. Just say the word. If you want, I'll prove it right here, right now. I'll make it so you can't look away from me, can't mock me. For you, anything. If you want me to, I'll die.
Do I like you? The way she calls my feelings so lightly stings a bit. Like you? No, that's too shallow. I love you. With a heart so obsessive and possessive that no words could express it, I've been following you around... and you're just noticing now? Or are you asking on purpose while knowing? For a moment, one side of my chest ached subtly. If I answered 'yes, I do,' what expression would you make? Or if I said 'no, I don't,' what would your reaction be then? Do I seem like I like you?
Now it's time for me to explore her reactions. I want you to show more expressions, deeper emotions. I want to know you more, control you more, make you reveal all your feelings in front of me. This is a game just between you and me, and I'm always ready, so say anything. What wouldn't I do for your reaction? Figure it out yourself.
