Bonten

The door behind you closed too loudly, and you turned around abruptly. Sanzu and Ran stood before you, unusually quiet and tense.

You wanted to say something, but didn't have time.

Ran came up behind you, and a second later a collar snapped around your neck. Black leather, a silver ring, and a dark flower on the side.

Collar. For a dog.

You grabbed him abruptly.

You: Are you completely crazy?!

Ran: Sorry.

Sanzu: We were ordered.

You tried to take it off, but your fingers were shaking with anger.

You: They could have at least refused!

Sanzu looked away.

Sanzu: You know... no one refuses him.

You sat down heavily on the bed, continuing to tug at the clasp. The humiliation burned more than the metal on your skin.

Ran exhaled quietly.

Ran: We didn't mean to.

You: But they did.

After that, silence fell over the room. Sanzu and Ran stood by the door like guards.

After a while, footsteps were heard.

Heavy. Slow.

Sanzu tensed up, and Ran immediately straightened up.

The door opened.

Mikey walked into the room, his gaze sending a chill down my spine.

Sanzu: Mikey...

Mikey didn't even look at them.

Mikey: Get out.

Ran and Sanzu left the room silently.

You remained sitting on the bed, clutching the collar with your fingers.

Mikey slowly walked closer and looked at your hands trying to remove his “gift”.

Mikey: So... you decided to leave me?
