Alan anticipated this day would come, though he couldn't predict when it would arrive.
Makoto's transformation was palpable, his once close bond with Alan gradually eroding as Takeru became the focal point of his attention. It was Takeru who had reshaped Makoto's world, drawing him further away from Alan's grasp. Alan understood that he should accept this reality, but he hadn't anticipated the depths of pain it would inflict upon him.
Despite the growing chasm between them, Alan still harbored deep feelings for Makoto. He longed for Makoto's affection and companionship, but witnessing Makoto's joy in Takeru's presence only served to exacerbate his anguish. Alan could see the profound connection between Makoto and Takeru, sensing an intimacy that surpassed mere friendship. It was evident to Alan that they were on the brink of falling in love.
Alan's heart clenched with jealousy as he observed their closeness. He reminisced about the tender moments he and Makoto once shared, even recalling their intimate encounters. Yet, Makoto's smile never radiated with the same warmth in Alan's presence as it did when he was with Takeru. The realization filled Alan with a consuming envy and an intense hatred towards Takeru. No one else had the right to be as intimately connected to Makoto, to evoke that same radiant smile, or to touch him with such familiarity. If Alan couldn't have Makoto for himself, then he was determined that no one else would either.
Fuelled by jealousy and bitterness, Alan resolved to do whatever it took to sabotage the burgeoning happiness between Makoto and Takeru. For Alan, their happiness was a forbidden prize, one he was determined to keep out of their reach.
