Muichiro's pov

"I really enjoyed it today, thank you" I said with a smile, looking at Genya. "It was no problem, I enjoyed it too.. well I'll go now, see you tomorrow at school, bye!"

"Bye Bye!" I said with a smile and waved at him. It was so nice today, I was in such a good mood after spending the whole day with him..

I sighed happily, being so.. so glad I decided to spend time with him today.

Next day

"Yo! Muichiro, come here" I heard someone call my name. I looked behind me to see my boyfriend.. Misaki. I felt my heart aching and I didn't know why.. it was like my body refused to move towards him.

I took small steps towards him. "Hi hun" I said with a smile. "Don't call me that" he said and grabbed me by my chin, giving me a quick kiss.

"You will join us on lunch break, on a roof next to the air vents, got it?"

"Us?" I asked, being slightly confused by what meant by that. "My friends, duhh" he replied with a slightly annoyed tone.

"Oh.. can't we just have lunch alone? Your friends don't really like me.." I said quietly, looking down at the floor.

"Hell no, I already said that I will be with them, if you hate them so much just go ahead and be alone" he said, clearly annoyed.

"No no.. it's okay.. I am sorry" I apologized quietly. He moved closer to me and grabbed me by my chin "you apologize so much.." he said and grabbed my hair "..it's just fucking annoying!" He finished and tugged my hair really hard.

I yelped quietly in pain, grabbing his hand "p-please stop"

He laughed slightly and let go of my hair, saying "you are such a bitch, Muichiro.. man up already" before walking away.

I leaned against the wall, holding back tears "why is he so mean.. Why do I still love him even though he treats me so badly.." I thought to myself, trying to hold back the tears that were forcing into my eyes.

I couldn't hold all of them back but after some time I composed myself and went back to class.

...

I sat in class, trying to pay attention to the lesson but without success.. I kept on thinking about Misaki..

It hurted me so much with the way he treated me.. just 2 months ago he treated me so well.. he always came for hugs and texted me in the middle of class because he wanted to cuddle but now... it's nothing like that.

Suddenly I got a text from him. I opened the chat, seeing a simple text that still made my mood even worse "oh and that Genya guy, don't talk to him, you know what I said about talking to other guys"

I replied with "but he's my tutor, because of him I finally understand most of the subjects"

"I don't give a fuck, don't you dare talk to him again or we are over"

"Over..." I thought, clenching my fists. I didn't want him to break up with me... but I didn't want to stop talking to Genya either... not just because of my grades but because I really like him too..

Lunch break

I walked together with Misaki to the rooftop in silence. It was clear he was still annoyed and it just got worse when Genya came.

"Hi Mui, wanna eat lunch with me and my friends? I talked about you and they would love to meet you" Genya said, making my cheeks blush.

"He talked about me?" I thought to myself and smiled but the smile almost immediately faded when I realized I can't go with him.

"Sorry Genya but I can't.. maybe next time?" I said, trying not to hurt his feelings.

"Oh that's alright!.. well I'll see you later, bye Mui!"

"Bye bye.." I said and waved at him. I felt Misaki grabbing my hair from behind, holding it tight. "Mui..? I am the only one who is allowed to call you that!"

He yelled out and tightened his grip, making me whimper in pain "I-I am sorry.. it was the first time he called me that, I swear"

He tugged my hair hard before letting go of it, walking towards the rooftop as I followed him quietly.

...

"You actually brought him," one of Misaki's friends said, laughing slightly. Misaki sat down at the table and I sat down next to him.

They talked about some stuff while I just sat there, regretting coming here... being glad that at least they don't make fun of me... which soon changed.

"Hey you" someone called out. I looked up and let out a quiet "m-me?"

"Duhh, who else?" He said, laughing slightly at the end. I just looked back down, not answering.

"How the fuck are you so skinny, do you even eat? Do you have anorexia or some shit?" Another one of Misaki's friends asked.

I shook my head slightly, not knowing what to say. "And you look feminine as fuck.. does it not bother you? People calling you a female"

"N-No.. not really.." I replied quietly.

"I know right, he looks like a fucking girl" he said and grabbed my hair, grabbing it tighly. "P-Please stop touching it," I said quietly.

"Aww come on! Does it make you unComFoRTaBlE?" He laughed and ruffled my hair, making it extremely messy.

Soon after he stopped and just laughed together with others. I looked at Misaki, being on the edge of crying, hoping he'll do something.

"For real Muichiro, you should cut it, you look like a girl" he said, making my heart sink.

I just looked down, trying to fix my hair and ignoring others laughing at me. I felt so miserable, so betrayed.. so sad.. I just wanted to run away and cry my eyes out.

...

After the lunch break I stood up and quickly walked away from them, going back to my classroom. I put my unfinished food in my locker and just looked down, starting to sob.

I couldn't hold it back anymore.. I felt terrible. "Why did he let them do this to me.. why.. what did I do wrong?!" I thought to myself, placing my hand on the locker and covering my mouth with my other hand to silent my sobs.

I just stood there, not caring if someone saw me.. I just wanted to let it all out.

"Mui? Are you alright?" I heard behind me. It was Genya.

"Why are you crying? What happened?" He asked with a worried tone. It reminded me of the time when Misaki was so caring about me.. whenever I cried he asked me "why are you crying? What happened?" And hugged me until I told him.

But that was already in the past.. now if I cry in front of him he thinks just how pathetic I am and doesn't give me any comfort which sucks..

Those memories of Misaki made me tear up even more, just leaning on Genya and sobbing into his chest.

He wrapped his arms around me and held me close. He slowly caressed the back of my head, letting me cry as much as I needed to.

Everything I was holding back the whole day I let out, hugging Genya tightly, being so glad that he cares about me and doesn't only take me as a kid who he's tutoring.
