Chapter Text
The presence of Shidou's girlfriend, whom you now know as Asura; last name not mentioned, but certainly not forgotten. Made the lunch date less awkward, you had exchanged numbers with her as everyone departed from the fancy restaurant. And to make matters worse, it seemed like Sae did not like the fact that you were getting friendly with her.
As soon as the both of you reached his car your hands untangled, with force and movement made by him, seemingly disgusted with holding hands with you. You could not peer into his eyes and discern him, it was unsettling; just what had turned his mood so sour? His tone came out unclear and you had to strain your ears to hear him, “Don't get too attached.”
You had not known the meaning of his words. The expression on your face was clouded in confusion, which encouraged him to continue, “We agreed that we would not get too intertwined into each other's lives.” So I would not have to see your face again and bare with this unmeaningful contact. Was probably what he had meant.
As of now, you were a mere tool for him to use, to gain whatever. In the future you'd be nothing, you had nothing to give to him. Sae Itoshi will have what he wants at any price, everything goes his way, so he will continue to gain, whereas you will not, you will never be like him.
“I assure you that I will not be apart of your life after this just because I made a friend or two.” You reasoned, lightly. “You're getting too friendly for the wrong reasons.” he spat, with little to no rage, but his irritable tone was there and you were uncertain of how to respond. You'd place a pretty penny on the fact that he probably caught wind of how you wanted to figure him out.
Or maybe he thought that you got feelings for him, his ego knows no bounds. So, you simply stayed silent and left it as that. The drive home was quiet and fast. In that moment his tone hurt the most, not his words. Sae Itoshi thinks he's got his way, he thinks you understand his words. Yet, you still do not and you will not be able to comprehend his unsettling existence that was sown into your life a few days ago.
With an indepictable sigh, you left, without turning back as tears of frustration crawled its way onto your water line. You blinked them away, owlishly.
You now just wanted to rest, and so you did, falling into a state of slumber quickly and forgetting about the events that occurred awhile ago. Tired eyes closed. Your phone beeped.
Unknown number
Thanks for today :) I hope we can become better friends. P.s you're not really dating Sae Itoshi are you? That man is arrogant and simply a bore. You'd have to take a good look at his hairstyle and tell me you like that. (I apologize in advance if you truly do like him.) Goodnight!!
You awoke to your phone pinging with messages, the commotion was due to the stunt Sae pulled yesterday in public. Now, all your feelings of Sae had soured, it's turned murky and left to rot after his cruel words. What even is the point of doing this anymore? You wouldn't know, he probably thinks of you as a gold-digger or an unsuccessful influencer, there was better, and he surely would've known.
You'd better prepare for today. Knocks sounded on the wooden door of your apartment. That was horribly painted might I add. With a sigh you opened the door and came to face an ugly prick who seemed to be scrutinizing the appearance of your apartment. Sae sighed and held out flowers, “Don't expect anything else from me, my manager wants us to continue on good terms.”
Good terms my ass, you begrudgingly took them out his hands, “Okay, and?” you rolled your eyes, it had only been a day and he's back.
“And? You're not going to invite me in?” his eyes flickered to yours in disinterest, his apology was insincere, and you bit your lip whilst letting him enter. For this deal. It's all for this deal. He doesn't care if he hurts you, he only cares for himself and the end of this contract, as long as he gets what he wants you will be rid of him.
