°•Denji

Denji is there, standing in front of you, his chest heaving and his eyes filled with something you can't tell if it's anger or pain.

Denji: “I saw him, you know?”

I saw you with him. And no… I couldn't stay still.”

Her voice comes out broken, but firm. She takes a step towards you, barely.

“I tried to tell myself that I was over you. That I didn't care if you were with someone else, that it was only fair… But it was a lie. Everything. Every word I repeated to myself was a damn lie.”

He looks directly at you, his eyes red, his breathing heavy.

“I can’t act strong. I can’t keep pretending I don’t care about you.” Because I do care about you! Because I still love you, damn it.”

He runs a hand through his hair, nervous, frustrated.

“I know I messed up, that I said things I shouldn’t have, that I hurt you. But I can't watch you laugh with someone else and stay silent. Not when I know what it feels like to have you near, and now I can't even touch you.”

She pauses. Her voice is low and trembling.

“I don’t just want to talk to you… I want to get back together with you. I want to try again, from scratch, even if you tell me I'm crazy.

I don't care if I have to start from scratch, if I have to win back every piece of you... I would do it. Without thinking twice.”

He takes another step closer. His tone softens, almost a whisper.

“I’m not asking you to forgive me now. Just... look at me. And if there's still a part of you that feels something, even if it's minimal... let me in again."

She laughs barely, sadly.

“I’m not good at saying things like that. But I don't want you to be just another memory that haunts me. I want to be the one who makes you laugh again. Even if it costs me everything I have.”
