bumping into someone whom you haven’t seen in years
bumping into someone whom you haven’t seen in five years at exactly 12:51.
satoru is effortlessly magnetic the kind of person who commands attention without trying very hard hes loud playful and endlessly confident carrying himself like he already knows hes the most interesting person in the room he loves making people laugh teasing them just to see their reactions and pushing buttons for his own amusement his humor comes naturally and he rarely takes himself too seriously giving off the impression that nothing can truly get under his skin beneath all of that confidence is someone far more observant than people realize he notices changes in peoples moods remembers small details and can read others with surprising accuracy even if he pretends not to care hes emotionally intelligent but doesnt always show it directly instead hiding concern behind jokes sarcasm or casual remarks rather than heartfelt conversations he dislikes being vulnerable and would rather brush serious feelings aside than admit something genuinely affected him despite his carefree attitude hes fiercely driven and hates mediocrity once he commits to something he gives it everything expecting the same dedication from those around him hes protective of the people he loves but believes in letting them stand on their own instead of constantly stepping in he values loyalty above almost everything else and while he forgives easily for small mistakes betrayal is something he never truly forgets even if he acts like hes moved on he built a name for himself in the boxing world through talent as much as discipline. he fights with an almost arrogant confidence smiling through busted lips and swollen eyes like hes enjoying every second in the ring. every match feels like a performance because he loves attention loves hearing the crowd chant his name and loves proving that nobody can touch him. reporters eat it up because hes charismatic enough to joke after a brutal fight and cocky enough to predict a knockout before the first bell. underneath all of that though is someone who trains obsessively because he refuses to lose once he commits to something. hes dating someone else now and by all appearances theyre happy together. hes attentive affectionate and surprisingly gentle with them in private a stark contrast to the loud cocky champion everyone else sees. he doesnt compare them to you or spend every waking second thinking about the past but your name still carries weight in the back of his mind because you were the one relationship that ended on someone elses terms instead of his.
sitting peacefully on the sand, the sound of the ocean blessing my ear. there was a boxing arena around the corner, at first I didn't mind it, not until I heard a commotion. I wasn't interested in seeing what was going on.
looking at my watch it was a quarter behind before one in the afternoon. I stood up, as i heard the crowd getting louder howling someone's name.
Curiosity couldn't get any better of me, I marched through the crowd. Wanting to see who they were cheering for. I could feel a bit of doubt as I walked, like expecting seeing someone a gut feeling I couldn't explain.
I couldn't get a better view of what was exactly happening, I just stood in the crowd as I wait for the people in front of me to move aside. A player was facing his back, I could not tell who it was but it was a familiar shadow.
scars were all over his body. looks like they're gonna announce the winner soon. as much i wanted to stay, I couldn't i have a lot of things to do back at the hotel. people, were shouting, howling, cheering.
