I am bit in a bad mood, after I told my mom I am aromantic ..

Not many words can tell you, how I feel right now ..

Aromantic Doesn't Mean I Can't Love

- Chapter 1 -

Relationships aren't really me,

I rather have good friend around,

and my family in sight,

I don't mind holding the hand,

of a child I choice to adopt,

I don't mind giving hugs or kisses on the cheek,

I don't mind to laugh,

I don't mind to give a shoulder to cry,

but romantic love is a zone I can't describe,

it's all in a grey zone,

but's that okay,

because love comes in many different shapes,

and I can show you my love,

so,

please don't call me heartless,

Okay ..

Shinsou Hitoshi was just reading his book when his mother came with a heavy sign, letting herself fall on the couch right next to him .

"Hello to you too I guess ." He smirked but it was gone as his mother looked annoyed .

"What's wrong ?"

"I just talked to Aiko ."

Oh boy ..

It was not really a secret but his mother always has 2 faces when it comes to his sister in law, and he always gets the nasty side .

"We talked about the wedding, and whatever .. She has a plus one for you by the way ."

"What why .."

"Because Hitoshi you are 23 years old, we all are worried that you will become a loner like your uncle ."

"Uncle Shota has a lover ."

"And he doesn't even have sex with that loud mouth ."

"You do know he is asexual right .."

But of course that went over his mothers head, as she grabbed her phone just scrolling on it .

"I told her I rather have that Ayumi girl, then that Rika who lives next door . But she is the flower girl, girl is 19 goddamnit .."

"Mom .."

"I am worried about you Hitoshi, when are you going to find someone to spend your life with ."

"But I am happy right now .."

"Not forever ! I die and you will be all alone !"

Hitoshi knows if someone saw his mother like that, he will get the stink eye because it was like she was worried . Of course she worried for being a bad mom, not because he will be alone .

"I am aromantic anyway ."

She was silent not answering him or giving him the sign she heard him . "I said I am aromantic .." He tried again ."It means .."

"I know what it means Hitoshi ." She looked at him a bit, making him feel surprised . "Really ?" He smiled a bit .

"Yeah they are those asocial people, that can't love or something .."

Now that give him a cold ass brick right into his stomach .

"N-no ... T-that's not what .." But he realize she was ignoring him again . "Mom ?" He tried again .

"I have to call your father, go play somewhere ." Making clear he has to get out of the living room and not her .

So he got up and just walked into his room, he felt heavy, as he closed his door and sunk on knees .

He tried to breath ..

He tried not to cry ..

Why is it difficult to be myself ..

Why always assume I don't love ...

Why am I already being tagged like this .
