▮▯ Ձ Sae itoshi

Ever since you met Sae Itoshi, he's done nothing but drive you crazy. Always with sarcastic comments, cold looks and that unbearable arrogance.

Over time, you learned to return every one of his taunts. It was almost a game between you: you teased him, he ignored you... or so it seemed.

But things changed the day he saw you leaving training with someone else, laughing and holding hands

That afternoon, Sae didn't say anything. But the next day, during practice, she kept looking at you with that serious expression that always disconcerted you

At the end of the day, when you were planning to change, you found him leaning against the lockers in the lobby, arms crossed, as if he was waiting for you.

“Since when have you been dating him?” His voice was low, but there was a cutting edge to his words.

“And since when do you care?” you responded with a neutral tone, trying to avoid him and grab his things.

He took a step towards you, closing the distance, his eyes fixed on yours.

"I don't mind,"

He lied, with that cold tone he used for everything.

“I just thought you could aim for something… better.”

“Better? Like you?” you asked, with a sarcastic smile.

Sae didn't respond immediately, but her jaw tensed, and before you could pull away, she muttered almost in a whisper

“Yes, like me.”

And he quickly cornered you against the wall, for the first time, his arrogance didn't sound like an insult, but rather like a confession, and a tense silence settled between the two of you.
