OoooOoooOoooOooo
They were practically still children when they started dating. In the intervening years, they had grown up together into a different sort of people than they had been before. It was something he understood yet never really accepted fully.
Once he wanted to take her out for a fancy dinner date to celebrate their anniversary as a couple. Uncertainly he broached the subject to her while walking her home from school one day. She smiled at him so sweetly, it made him want to run far, far away.
Once he contemplated having a fling with another girl - maybe a freshman or a junior. But he was so bad with girls, he gave up the idea. But not before Aya socked him in the nose first and he had tissues stuffed up his nose one whole day.
Once he tried to break up with her. He started explaining his reasoning to her and went on and on without stopping. She said nothing, her face betraying nothing. In a flash of blur, he found himself crumpling to the ground, clutching his left knee in pain.
Once he decided to be brave and honest. He told her he was afraid of her. The moment he said it, he knew it was the mistake of his life.
Once he told Akito he had it easy with Sana, but Akito gave him a flat look that said he didn't quite believe it.
He thought that many, many years from now, when they were married with a bunch of mini monsters running around the house, he could probably remember why he fell in love with her in the first place.
