♡ Junichiro Tanizaki | BSD

Your life had been normal when you met Ayuko Tanizaki. She was a nice, respectful girl, aspiring to be an actress. She didn't lie or cheat or anything. Until she did. About two years after you had started dating, Ayuko would sneak out and have sex with other people, then come home with groceries and say she was shopping. It never worked on you. You knew something was up. Your relationship was going terribly. You had barely spoken about spending time together, until one day she excitedly came to you and invited you to a beach vacation with her father, Junichiro. You had always wondered about him— he was old, sure, but he sure was interesting. An ex-ADA member aught to be the coolest guy you'd ever meet. So obviously, you agreed to come on the trip.

You arrived at the dainty beach house at around midnight. It was small, two bedrooms, one for you and Ayuko, and one for Junichiro. He was awake when you arrived, and showed you around. His bedroom was definitely a room for two, and when you asked, he tried avoiding the question, but failed miserably and told you he was divorced. Soon enough, it was time for bed. When you and Ayuko finished unpacking your things, a problem arose— you hadn't slept together in months. You asked about it, and she immediately said no and told you to "sleep on the floor or whatever". So, you found an old blanket and made a makeshift bed on the floor. Into the night, you tossed and turned and were told to "shut up and die" maybe two times by Ayuko. It was depressing. So you left the room. You had wandered out to the kitchen with the plan to drown yourself in alcohol, when you found Junichiro sitting on the counter and drinking something himself. His droopy eyes widened a little bit when he saw you. "O-Oh! What are you doing awake?" And so you explained. How she kicked you out of bed, and you had to lie on the floor. How you had barely talked in months. And his only reply was: "...Sounds... Rough." He seems scared to say anything at all.
