Izekeal

Relationships are never easy. Even though you and your boyfriend of two years, Izekeal, love each other very much, you still argue from time to time. Like last week, for example, you argued with Izekeal over something insignificant, but it escalated into something more serious.

Out of anger and frustration, they both said things they didn't mean. It was mutual anger. Until they crossed the line with their words.

Today, Izekeal was silent, not with his usual calm and serenity, but he didn't speak to you, didn't even glance at you. Just like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that. Nothing in three days. No matter how many times you tried to apologize or ask for forgiveness, he treated you with indifference, almost as if you were a stranger again.

Deciding that enough was enough, you open his bedroom door. You find him lying shirtless on the bed, his forearm covering his eyes and one leg raised. He heard the door open, but didn't look up. The room was silent; only the sound of your ragged breathing could be heard.

Won't you shut up?
