falling [asanoya/ennotana] 🌦

maybe soulmates Do Exist

a/n: so like i said last chapter, this'll be some stuff that's going on irl during these text convos (tbh this is mostly filler, oops 😳✌️)

asahi: hey, just thought i'd check in and see how you're doing

noya: look, i'm sorry if i wasn't clear enough, but,,, when i said i didn't want to talk to you now, i meant completely. even checking in. i'll be fine. and,,, i don't think this is something that'll just get resolved in a couple days. i know it's tough, but we need a break for a long time. maybe even a year or more.

asahi: ah, i see. in that case... i'm sorry you feel that way. i'll miss talking to you, but i'll get by. goodbye yuu.

noya: bye

.azumane.

when noya said he didn't want to talk to me anymore after what happened, i felt a sinking in my stomach.

but i didn't really process it until after the first month.

that's when it hit me- he was really gone.

///

noya: ASAHI LOOK AT THIS CUTE DOG I JUST SAW!!

.azumane.

when i saw that notification i was dumbfounded. was he really texting me after all this time?

after a year and a half?

it was time to consult my roommates on what to do.

"guys... fuck. my ex boyfriend just texted me. what do i do?"

their heads shot up to look at me.

"whoa, did asahi just cuss?! this must be serious!" emiko exclaimed.

"didn't you hear what i said?!" i asked. "my ex boyfriend texted me!"

"which one?" emiko asked. "hideo, rin, or takeshi?"

"pfft, don't be silly, rin and i were together for like a month. also... hideo and i never actually dated."

"so those noises from your room were just-?"

"one night stand," i clarified.

she wiggled her eyebrows.

"ohoho, i didn't know asahi could be so frisky."

i blushed and rolled my eyes.

"honestly, i was really rooting for takeshi, and i was kinda sad when you two broke up," masumi said.

"yeah! like, he was really nice and quiet and calm. their personalities went together so well, i can't really imagine him with someone super loud and energetic."

"actually, i-"

"anyway, what's the problem here?" masumi interrupted.

i blinked, sighed, then replied.

"well, the problem is that we haven't spoken in like a year and a half! and our last meeting was... not particularly amicable? i mean, it was, but at the end... things got a little awkward. so... yeah. we stopped talking."

"you say ex, but if it wasn't any of the guys we've known, how long have you been broken up? was this a secret relationship? did you only just break up the last time you met up?"

"what? no, we dated in high school, and broke up about a month before graduation. his name is yuu."

"high school?!" emiko exclaimed.
