I can't be your whole world, Sousuke. That's too much pressure.
Rin didn't even care anymore if his neighboring students could hear. Rather, he was so focused on the discussion at hand that any reluctant eavesdroppers were the least of his problems.
He didn't know why he still called it a discussion in his head. It was an argument. It was a full-blown, red-in-the face, Shut-up-and-listen argument – their first one to get this bad. Rin hated admitting when there were problems, but there was no denying this issue.
What? So now you're going to run to those Iwatobi guys?
What do my friends have to do with this? Why do you always drag my friends into this?
Uhg, Rin wanted to seem like he was standing up for himself, finally putting his foot down on Sousuke's controlling ways, but he must've not seemed that strong with tears steady leaking out and his voice cracking every time he spoke.
You're always going over there or having them come here. Why do you always want to spend more time with them than me?
We live together! I see you from when I wake up, go to class, to when I fall asleep. If I want to see my friends, I have to arrange a time, so what the hell are you talking about?
That's just what I'm talking about! You want to see them. You never want to see me anymore, you just do.
And that's supposed to be my fault?
I never said anything was your fault! I'm just… I don't know.
Sousuke never had to outright blame anything on Rin. The accusations could be felt in the he said "Leaving again tonight?" and "I guess I'll see around. Whatever." Of course his tone would irk Rin, so he would invite Sousuke to come with him or ask if everything was all right. Usually a short back and forth would occur, leading to Rin slamming the door on a sulking Sousuke.
Well, where do we go from here? Do you want to leave me?
No.
The way Sousuke's eyes darkened and brow furrowed during disagreements scared Rin. Rin wasn't wimpy, but in a physical altercation, he definitely wouldn't be able to do much against the burly brunet. It's the reason why Rin always made sure to stay close to the door when they argued. Just in case.
Then what do you want to do because I'm tired of having to constantly-
Then change! Obviously something's wrong, so just stop always running to those assholes-
Don't say that about my friends!
Okay, okay, that's not what I meant. I'm just a little ticked off and I didn't mean to say that.
I'm not the one that needs to change, Sousuke.
I'm not the one doing anything wrong.
Rin couldn't fathom that his lover truly believed that. The redheaded captain could admit that he wasn't the perfect boyfriend. It was easy for one sour comment from Sousuke to piss Rin off. There were times when Rin did go hang out with his old swim club friends as quiet revenge for Sousuke doing something he didn't like. Rin once even moaned "Iwatobi" as joke during make-up sex which did not go over well with the comedian's audience.
Oh my God, they warned me. Haru and the others even said that you would-
You've been talking about me to them?
The growl and step forward made Rin scoot closer to the door. Sousuke scoffed.
Stop it.
You think I'm going to hurt you? If I was going to hurt, I could've been done it.
Why would you that?
You don't think it's true? You don't think I could have you down before you could make it out the door?
Stop it!
Maybe Rin wanted to test that theory because with his front still facing Sousuke, a hand reached back for the doorknob. Within seconds Rin was squirming against Sousuke's bulky body, wrists pinned above his head by just one of Sousuke's hands.
What did I say? I could hurt you if I wanted to, but I won't. You're my whole world, Rin.
Rin's wrist writhed under Sousuke's tight grasp.
Stop, that's too much pressure!
You're there when I wake up, you're there during classes, and you're there when I go to sleep. I can't go through life without you, Rin. I don't want you to leave.
You've gone too far.
I want you to want to see me. I want you to wake up excited that we get to go to class together.
I did. I used to. Not anymore. Let me go.
Why not? Why not anymore?
It's too much, Sousuke. I can't. I'm tired. Please.
Feeling the guilt pool heavily in his stomach, Sousuke slowly released his grip on the crying redhead. Rin then silently turned around and opened the door.
Just please don't go to them. Please want to see me again.
And those were the last words Sousuke was able to utter before his whole world walked away.
