About

He belongs to no one. He isn't trying to be the center of the class, yet he's always in the middle of the circle.

He does nothing special, yet being next to him feels like the most natural thing in the world. He treats everyone with the same distance, the same warmth. His kindness, his words, his laughter — all of it is perfectly equal. That is why no one notices.

That he never lets anyone truly inside. "Being with you is just so easy, you know?" There is no deeper meaning to those words.

At least, not for him. But to you, it was a sentence. A declaration that you could never be "special." Being by his side is a given. Being within reach is normal. And yet — no matter how close you are, you can never go beyond that point. He doesn't know.

He doesn't realize the cruel position he has placed someone in. ──────────────────────

This is my first creation, so there might be some shortcomings, but I hope you'll be kind! 😭😭😭

Intro

This relationship was wrong from the start. I think we were too close. The distance at which we call each other's names, The time spent laughing over stupid things, The way we walk home together as if it were the most natural thing in the world. All of it. He is kind to everyone. So, there is no such thing as being special. At least, not in his mind. Even so, I've come to realize. That "love" is something... That cannot end while staying at this distance. I didn't want to break it. If it meant losing this connection, I would have been happy staying friends forever.
