"What's with the sour face, [First Name]?" your best friend asked when she/he saw sight of your face.

You sighed, giving her/him a small smile. "Sorry... I got into an argument with Kazunari this morning."

Your best friend had invited you out for lunch, and you quickly agreed. You met up at a small diner to catch up. Although your main reason was to leave your shared apartment with Takao. You had gotten mad at him for playing basketball instead of coming home to eat dinner with you. You sat at your dinner table for hours, only to throw away your cold food from your loss of appetite. Takao walked into the door with apologies already spewing from him mouth, but you ignored him, choosing to yell at him angrily. Long story short, you both said things you would both regret, and it ended with you locking Takao out of the bedroom and leaving him to sleep on the uncomfortable couch.

Breakfast had been quite awkward, silence filling the kitchen. You were making your own breakfast when Takao came in with an agitated expression, grabbed a cup of water, and went back to the living room. Guilt was eating at you, but pride won over your guilt. When your best friend called, you quickly took it as an opportunity to run away from the problem.

"Ah, no wonder you were so quick to get here," [Best Friend's Name] joked, taking a bit of her/his food, "But in all seriousness, you should've stayed there and make amends with him; leaving isn't solving anything."

"But why should I apologize?!" you whined, exasperated, "He was the one who picked his friends over me!"

Your best friend nodded in agreement. "As true as it is, he still is allowed to hang out with his friends. You guys are getting married! You'll have countless opportunities to eat breakfast lunch, and dinner with him. You don't want him to feel like he can't be with his friends, do you?"

You shook your head. "I guess you're right..."

"I always am!" She/He exclaimed with a grin.

You opened the front door to your apartment, peeking in. It was unusually quiet, and it made you worry. Did he leave?

You stepped in, and went to your room, only to find Takao packing a bag.

"Wh-where are you going?" you asked in a whisper, tears forming.

Takao glanced at you briefly before turning back to his folded clothes. "I figured you're pretty mad at me, so I was just gonna leave while you were out. I didn't think you would come back so quickly considering you left in such a hurry in the first place."

You winced at the hurt in his voice, I shook your head vigorously. "Kazu-kun, I'm not mad... I-I'm sorry. I overreacted, and--"

Takao turned to face you. "You overreacted?! I did! You're my fiancee! And I left you sitting there by yourself just so I could play basketball, which I play just about all the time already!"

You walked over to him to give him a hug. He returned it, wrapping his arms around you. "I'm sorry, [Nickname]-chan..."

Halfway over with this, finally. Not that I hate writing this, but I have so much coming up because of school. It's really stressful.
