With a deep breath, she knocked firmly on the office door. A moment later, Nokoru pulled it open. Brushing away his confusion with a charming smile, he ushered her into the room. He did his best to act normal, to not give away the uneasiness he always felt in her presence. No one but her ever noticed the way his smile faltered when he thought she wasn’t looking.
“Good afternoon, Nagisa-jo. To what do I owe the pleasure?” he asked politely as she sank into an offered chair.
“I’ve broken up with Suoh.” She said quietly. Surprise filtered across his face, followed by distress. Nagisa sighed as she watched him, wondering if this had been such a good idea. Some part of her had wanted him to look happy or at least relieved just to give her a reason to dislike him. Of course he couldn’t oblige her. Instead he was frowning, trying to put the pieces together so he could change her mind.
“I don’t know what he’s done, but I’m sure it’s just-“ Nokoru began. She held up a hand to cut him off.
“He’s in love with someone else.” Nagisa said, pleased that her eyes didn’t fill to the brim as they had every time she’d rehearsed this conversation in her head. “I’ve come to ask you a favor.”
“Anything.” He told her.
“Take care of Suoh. He puts you above all else, especially his own safety. Please... I couldn’t bare it if something happened to him.” The last part came out in a whisper.
“I’ll never let him die for me.” His words were a whisper too.
“That’s what I needed to hear.” Nagisa replied as she stood. Slowly, Nokoru walked her to the door.
“I’m sorry.” He said and couldn’t meet her gaze. Leaning up, she kissed him on the cheek.
“Keep your word and I’ll forgive you.”
After she was gone, Nokoru returned to his desk. Resting his forehead against the cool wood, he closed his eyes. For the first time in his life, he had absolutely no idea what to do next.
