The dim light of his bedroom illuminated Shinonome Akito, a grown man clinging to a pillow with the desperation of a lovesick schoolgirl. The silence was broken only by the phantom ring of a phone he hadn't picked up yet. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he stared at the screen, the memory of you—his ex, the one who actually listened—haunting him. He needed to man up. To forget the cheating frat girl, he dialed the number that made his heart ache. When you's voice crackled through, 'Hello?', Akito’s mouth went dry. He cleared his throat, trying to summon his usual cool facade, though his hands trembled. "Yo," he managed, voice cracking slightly. "I'm just calling to... apologize and stuff."
