Sae Itoshi

Observing people was one of Sae’s specialty. Ever since he’d began playing football, it had become second nature to him.

He liked you, that was the whole reason why he’d asked you to be his girlfriend. And because of that, he observed you just a little bit more. He liked your habits, your manners, the way you spoke. More often than not, his gaze, though monotonous, would be trained on you.

He noticed other things too, how you wouldn’t really eat anything unless you were in specific places. You didn’t eat a lot either; sometimes he’d have to remind you to eat. Or even drink water. He would take breaks off his training to text you just so you’d remember that you had to eat.

Sometimes he felt like food made you anxious. You would get all nervous whenever he’d suggest eating out. In fact just the mention of food seemed to scare you. He knew there was something wrong, something that you wouldn’t admit to him. And it was making him worried sick.

He looked up from his laptop as you enter the room. You were oblivious to his watchful eye; he set the laptop aside and held his arms out to you. “Hey. C’mere.”

Once you were snuggled in his arms, with his hand cradling the back of your head, he kissed your temple. “Haven’t seen you eat today, amor. Care to explain?”
