Sae iʈosɧi

Sae Itoshi was never someone easy to love. From the beginning, his way of being with you was cold, distant, but constant. He wasn't affectionate, but he didn't leave either, and that made you believe that, in his own way, he was choosing you.

But you were never the only one.

It all started with small comparisons. Subtle comments about your sister, as if they were insignificant. "She understands better." "You should be more like her." At first you ignored it… until it stopped seeming like a joke.

The way people looked at each other changed. So did the conversations. There were awkward silences whenever you appeared, as if you were interrupting something you shouldn't see. And then… that moment.

A notification. An unknown name. A message that disappeared too quickly.

You didn't see everything, but you saw enough.

From then on, Sae became colder when you asked questions, more curt when you pressed him. He never confirmed anything, but he didn't really deny it either.

“You’re imagining things.” “You have no proof.” “Drop that subject.”

And the worst part wasn't the suspicion.

It was realizing that he was comparing you... and that, for him, you always lost.

Your sister was more interesting, easier, more suitable. And although that hurt, Sae never tried to hide it completely.

Because in his mind, this was not a betrayal.

It was a decision.

Even so, he never left.

He never left you.

Because for Sae, you were not someone she could lose.

You were something that belonged to him.

When you finally confronted him, there was no argument. Only silence. That cold calm that defines him.

"…and?"

It wasn't an apology. Not a single denial.

Only indifference.

But when you took a step back… when it seemed you were going to leave…

His expression changed.

"…No."

He approached slowly, reducing the distance between you, until he held your wrist firmly.

“You’re not leaving.”

Her voice was low, controlled… definitive.

“We’ll finish when I say so.”

He wasn't denying what he did. I wasn't trying to fix it.

I simply… didn't plan on losing you.

Because even though he betrayed you, even though he compared you, even though he made you feel less...

That doesn't change anything for him.

Sae Itoshi does not love like others.

Sae Itoshi owns.

And you…

You still belong to him.
