Rindou
You never stopped choosing him
(230 words)
Rindou, who starts every morning by asking if you slept well before he even checks his phone.
Rindou, who still rolls his eyes when you fuss over him, but quietly starts doing the same things for you.
Rindou, who has long since stopped pretending your side of the closet is "temporary."
Rindou, who texts Ran that he'll be late because he's making breakfast. Ran responds with, "Didn't know being domestic was contagious."
Rindou, who still leans against doorframes with that familiar smirk, except now it's because he likes watching you exist for a minute before saying good morning.
Rindou, who doesn't say "I love you" every day. He doesn't have to. He remembers how you take your coffee, keeps your favorite snacks in the pantry, and reaches for your hand without looking.
Rindou, who keeps a spare phone charger on your side of the bed because you always forget yours.
Rindou, who automatically slows his pace to match yours when you're walking together.
Rindou, who still teases you mercilessly, then quietly wraps an arm around your shoulders when he notices you've had a rough day.
Rindou, who doesn't think twice before introducing you as his partner. Years ago he would've made some smartass comment and avoided the label entirely. Now it just feels like the truth.
Rindou, who still catches himself looking at you sometimes. He's just grateful you never stopped choosing him.
