riki had never known silence could be this loud.
The kind that rings in your ears. Sits heavy on your chest. Makes you realize just how fucking empty everything feels without the person you love.
And y/n?
She had been his silence for a month now.
No texts. No calls. No second chances.
And the worst part? He knew he had no one to blame but himself.
y/n never thought she’d get over riki.
She thought the ache of missing him would sit in her chest forever, that the ghost of his touch would always linger on her skin.
But then, one day, she woke up, and it didn’t hurt as much.
And that terrified her.
Because it meant she was finally letting go.
And deep down, she didn’t want to.
She just needed a reason to hold on.
But riki never knew how to give her one.
So she forced herself to move on.
Or at least, she tried.
riki didn’t hesitate this time.
Didn’t overthink. Didn’t run. Didn’t let fear keep him from doing the one thing he should’ve done a long time ago.
He showed up at her door, heart pounding, hands clammy, breath shaky.
And then—
He knocked.
Nothing.
He knocked again.
And this time—
The door opened.
y/n stood there, hair messy from sleep, wearing the hoodie he had left at her place months ago.
And fuck, he had never missed someone more.
She blinked at him, slow and unreadable. “riki?”
His throat tightened. “Hey.”
A beat of silence.
Then she exhaled, crossing her arms. “What are you doing here?”
He swallowed hard. “I need to talk to you.”
She stared at him for a long moment. Then—
“riki, don’t—”
“No,” he cut in, voice cracking. “Just—please let me say this.”
She went quiet.
So he took a breath and said everything.
“I fucked up, y/n. I know that. I knew that even before you left. But I was scared. Scared of ruining things. Scared of not being enough for you. Scared of what it would mean if I let myself love you.”
Her breath hitched.
But he wasn’t done.
“I told myself it was just fun. That I could keep you close without really having you. That I could kiss you, touch you, want you—without giving you the one thing you always deserved.”
His voice broke.
“And I was so fucking wrong.”
y/n’s eyes were glossy now, lips slightly parted.
But she still didn’t say anything.
So he took a step closer.
“I love you, y/n,” he said, voice raw. “I have for so long, and I don’t want to be scared anymore.”
Silence.
Then—
“You’re an idiot.”
His heart dropped.
But before he could say anything, y/n moved.
Her hands fisted in his hoodie, yanking him down, and suddenly
She was kissing him.
riki froze for half a second before melting into her, his hands cupping her face, his heart hammering against his ribs.
She pulled away first, her forehead resting against his, her fingers still tangled in his hoodie.
“You took way too long to say that,” she muttered.
His lips twitched, breath shaky. “I know.”
She exhaled. “You’re lucky I love you too.”
His eyes burned. “Yeah?” he whispered
She nodded, her voice softer now. “Yeah.”
riki wasn’t sure how long they stood there, breathing the same air, foreheads pressed together, hearts racing.
But it still didn’t feel close enough.
Not after everything. Not after losing her. Not after spending a month trying to pretend he could exist without her.
He wasn’t running anymore.
So he kissed her again.
Slower this time.
Less desperate. More sure
y/n didn’t hesitate, she melted into him, her hands still curled into his hoodie, pulling him closer.
His fingers ghosted over her waist before gripping her hips, anchoring himself to her. His heartbeat was wild, erratic, but for the first time in weeks his mind wasn’t loud.
It was just her.
The way she sighed against his lips, the way her fingers traced the back of his neck, the way she kissed him like she had been waiting for this too.
She pulled away just enough to whisper “I hate you.”
His lips barely brushed against hers as he murmured, “No, you don’t.”
Her hands slipped under his hoodie, nails dragging lightly over his skin. He shivered.
She smirked. “Okay, I wanted to hate you.”
His jaw clenched. “I know.”
Her expression softened. “You really scared me, riki.”
He exhaled sharply, guilt gnawing at his chest. “I know that too.”
She searched his face, eyes flickering between his, as if trying to find something. “And you’re sure?” she asked, voice quieter now. “You’re not just saying this because you miss me?”
He tightened his grip on her waist, shaking his head. “I’m sure.”
She studied him for another long second.
Then—
“Prove it.”
He swallowed hard. “How?”
y/n’s lips parted, but instead of answering, she tugged him inside.
And riki followed without hesitation.
The door barely shut before Naomi was on him again, kissing him harder, more needy this time.
riki groaned against her lips, hands gripping her thighs as he lifted her, letting her legs wrap around his waist.
Her back hit the wall, a soft gasp slipping out, and something about the sound made riki’s head spin.
Because for the first time, this wasn’t about blurred lines or ignoring feelings.
This wasn’t about pretending it was just fun.
This was real. They were real.
And he was never fucking letting her go again.
The next morning, riki woke up before her.
The sun filtered in through the curtains, casting a golden glow on y/ns bare shoulder, she was still sleeping, her face turned into the pillow, her breathing slow and steady.
And riki just looked at her.
Really looked at her.
And for the first time in his life, he wasn’t scared of what came next.
Because he had already made his choice.
And it was her.

The music inside the party was deafening, the bass rattling through y/n’s chest as she weaved through the crowd. It smelled like expensive perfume and alcohol, bodies pressed together in the dimly lit room, but she didn’t care about any of it. Not when her eyes were locked on him.
Riki was leaning against the bar, laughing at something a girl whispered in his ear. She was close—too close—her manicured nails tracing along the sleeve of his jacket like she had every right to be there. And the worst part? He wasn’t stopping her.
Y/n felt her stomach twist, a sick, ugly feeling clawing at her insides. She didn’t move, didn’t say anything. She just stood there, watching, feeling like an idiot for expecting anything different.
She should have left. Should have turned around and walked right out of the party like none of this mattered. But instead, she grabbed a drink off the nearest table and downed it in one go, ignoring the burn in her throat. She needed something—anything—to drown out the anger rising in her chest.
Because this wasn’t supposed to hurt.
They weren’t supposed to be like this.
They were just messing around—no strings, no feelings. That was the deal. That was what Riki wanted.
So why the fuck did it feel like she was suffocating?
She didn’t wait for him to notice her before she turned on her heel and stormed outside, the cold air slapping her in the face as she stepped onto the empty street.
She shouldn’t care. She shouldn’t care. She shouldn’t care.
But she did.
And she hated herself for it.
y/n was halfway down the sidewalk when she heard footsteps behind her, heavy and hurried.
“Y/n—”
She clenched her jaw, her steps quickening. “Don’t.”
“Y/n, stop.”
His voice was sharp, cutting through the night like a knife. She let out a bitter laugh but stopped anyway, turning to face him.
Riki stood there, breathing hard, his jaw tight. He looked frustrated—maybe even angry. Like she was the problem. Like she was the one making things complicated.
“What the fuck was that?” he demanded.
She let out a harsh laugh. “Are you seriously asking me that right now?”
“Yes, I am.” His voice was lower now, more serious. “You just disappeared. You could’ve at least told me—”
“Told you what, Riki?” she snapped, cutting him off. “That I was sick of standing there, watching you flirt with someone else like I don’t even fucking exist?”
His expression flickered, something unreadable passing through his eyes. “It wasn’t like that.”
“Oh, fuck off,” she spat. “It’s always like that. Every single time.”
Riki dragged a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply. “y/n, you knew what this was.”
She laughed again, but this time, it was empty. “Right. No feelings, no expectations. Just fucking and pretending like it means nothing.” She took a step closer, her voice lowering. “But here’s the thing, Riki—I can’t do it anymore. I can’t keep acting like I don’t care when I do. I can’t keep pretending I’m okay with being just another girl you push aside when you get bored.”
His eyes darkened. “That’s not what this is.”
“Then what is it?” she challenged.
He opened his mouth, then closed it.
And that was the problem, wasn’t it?
Riki felt something. She knew he did. It was in the way he kissed her when no one was looking, the way he always pulled her back in after every argument, the way he always found her in a crowded room like he couldn’t help himself.
But he would never say it.
Because if he admitted it, then it would be real. And if it was real, then he couldn’t just walk away when it got too much.
“Say it,” she pushed, her voice trembling now. “Say you don’t feel anything for me, and I’ll walk away right now.”
He stared at her, his chest rising and falling, his hands clenched into fists like he was fighting some invisible war.
Seconds passed. Then more.
And then he shook his head. “You don’t get it.”
“No, you don’t get it,” she shot back. “You’re scared. You’re so fucking scared of actually feeling something that you’d rather push me away than admit it.”
His jaw tightened, but he didn’t deny it.
And that was all the confirmation she needed.
y/n exhaled, taking a step back. Her heart felt like it was being ripped apart, but she forced herself to meet his gaze one last time.
“I can’t be the only one fighting for this, Riki.” Her voice was barely above a whisper now. “If you don’t want me, just say it. Say it so I can stop fucking hurting like this.”
Silence.
His lips parted like he wanted to say something—anything—but nothing came out.
Y/n nodded to herself, swallowing the lump in her throat. “That’s what I thought.”
She turned around and started walking, ignoring the way her vision blurred, ignoring the way her chest ached.
She kept waiting for him to stop her.
But he didn’t.
And that hurt more than anything else ever could.

Riki didn’t go back inside the party. He couldn’t.
Not when his mind was still stuck on the way y/n had looked at him—like she was done, like she was finally slipping through his fingers, and he had no one to blame but himself.
He stood there on the sidewalk long after she left, staring at the empty street, fists clenched at his sides. His whole body felt tense, like he was seconds away from breaking something.
She wanted him to say it.
To admit it.
But how the fuck was he supposed to say something that terrified him?
riki had never been good at feelings. He didn’t do relationships. Didn’t do commitment. It was easier not to care, to keep things simple.
But y/n wasn’t simple, She never had been.
And now, she was gone.
The thought alone made his stomach sink.
He pulled his phone out, fingers hovering over her contact. He wanted to text her—say something, anything to fix this. But what the fuck was he supposed to say?
“Sorry for being emotionally unavailable?”
“Sorry for acting like you didn’t mean something when you fucking do?”
He scoffed, shoving his phone back into his pocket. He had no right to text her. No right to chase after her when he was the one who pushed her away.
But that didn’t stop him from wanting to.
y/n was still wide awake when her phone buzzed at 2 a.m.
She knew who it was before she even looked.
Riki.
She stared at the screen for a long moment, her chest tightening. She wanted to ignore it. She should ignore it.
But she didn’t.
Riki: Are you home?
Her fingers hovered over the keyboard. Her first instinct was to leave him on read. Let him wonder. Let him feel even an ounce of what she felt tonight.
But she hated that she still cared.
y/n: Why do you care?
Three dots appeared. Then disappeared. Then came back again.
Riki: Just answer the goddamn question.
She exhaled sharply, rolling onto her back, staring up at the ceiling. He wasn’t even trying to be subtle. He wanted to know she was safe, but he couldn’t just say that.
y/n: Yeah, I’m home.
She expected him to leave it at that. Maybe even say good. But instead—
Riki: Open the door.
Her breath caught.
She sat up so fast she got dizzy, eyes widening at the message. He’s here?
y/n hesitated for half a second before throwing the covers off and heading for the door. When she swung it open, Riki was standing there, hood up, hands shoved into his pockets, looking every bit as reckless and conflicted as she felt.
She crossed her arms. “What the hell are you doing here?”
He exhaled, dragging a hand down his face. “I don’t know.”
“Bullshit.”
His jaw clenched. “I just—I couldn’t—” He let out a frustrated sigh. “I didn’t want to leave it like that.”
She laughed dryly. “So what? You’re here to apologize?”
Riki looked at her, and something in his gaze made her stomach twist. “I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, y/n. I just know I couldn’t sleep knowing you were pissed at me.”
She shook her head, swallowing the lump in her throat. “You don’t get to do this, Riki. You don’t get to act like you care but refuse to actually say it.”
His expression hardened. “You think this is easy for me?”
“Yes!” she snapped. “Because you get to have it both ways. You get to keep me close enough when you need me but push me away when it gets too fucking real.”
He flinched, and for the first time, she saw it—fear. Not anger. Not frustration. Just pure, unfiltered fear in his eyes.
She softened. Just a little.
“Why are you so scared of me?” she asked, voice quieter now.
He looked away, jaw tight. “I’m not.”
“Yes, you are,” she insisted. “You’re scared of us. Of what this could be. And you’d rather destroy it before it even happens than admit that you actually—”
“Don’t,” he cut her off, voice strained.
She sucked in a breath. “Don’t what?”
“Don’t fucking say it.”
“Say what?” she pressed. “That you care?”
He exhaled sharply, like the word itself was suffocating him.
y/n let out a humorless laugh. “You know what’s funny? You’ve already lost me, riki. And you still can’t say it.”
Silence.
Just his heavy breathing, her pounding heart, and the tension so thick she felt like she might choke on it.
She took a slow step back. “Go home, riki.”
His jaw clenched, hands twitching at his sides, like he wanted to reach for her but didn’t know how.
He didn’t move.
Neither did she.
Until finally, she took another step back and shut the door in his face.
And this time, he let her.

༄.° The fog thickens—requests are closed for now .ᐟ
ᯓ I write fluff, angst, and suggestive themes—Expect a mix of soft moments and heavy emotions.
ᯓ Let’s keep the fog free of negativity. This is a space for stories, not hate. Be respectful, or you’ll find yourself lost in the mist—blocked.
ᯓ If my work drifts into your thoughts, reblog and share any feedback—it’d mean the world and brighten the fog.
ᯓ Don’t hesitate to send requests or messages—I love receiving them, as long as they’re respectful
ᯓ The fog may be thick, and I may be lost in my own world, so please be patient while I craft your request. Life exists beyond the mist, after all.
ᯓ If a request cannot find its way through the fog or simply doesn’t stir my imagination, I may not write it—and that’s not a reflection of you, just a path I can’t walk.
ᯓ Don’t be shy—let’s be friends! I’m always excited to meet new people, and together we can help break through the fog and make this journey much brighter.

It’s late. The lights from the concert stage have long faded, leaving only the quiet hum of the city beneath the hotel room. Y/n sits by the window, watching the lights flicker below. The glass feels cold against her fingertips, a contrast to the warmth that used to exist between her and riki. But that warmth has been fading—slowly at first, then all at once, like the last ember of a fire dying out.
The door clicks open behind her. She doesn’t turn around. She doesn’t have to. She knows it’s him.
Riki steps inside, still in his stage clothes, his hair a little messy from the performance, but there’s no exhaustion in his posture—only distance. His presence doesn’t fill the room the way it used to. If anything, it makes it feel smaller, suffocating.
y/n swallows the lump in her throat and stands, her heart already racing. “Riki,” she says softly, trying to keep her voice steady. “Are you okay?”
He doesn’t answer right away. He just exhales sharply, dragging a hand through his hair before tossing his bag onto the bed with more force than necessary. The silence stretches between them, thick and unbearable.
And then, without even looking at her, he says, “We need to talk.”
The words hit like a slap. Y/n’s stomach twists painfully, but she forces herself to nod. “Okay,” she whispers. “Then talk.”
Riki finally meets her gaze, and for the first time in weeks, she realizes how far away he already is. There’s something cold in his expression—indifference, maybe, or something even worse.
“I can’t do this anymore,” he says bluntly. “Us.”
y/n flinches. It’s not what he’s saying, it’s how he’s saying it. Detached. Like she’s a problem he’s finally found the courage to get rid of.
“What?” Her voice cracks, but she doesn’t care. “You can’t just—riki, where is this coming from?”
His jaw clenches. He looks away, shaking his head. “Don’t act like you didn’t see this coming. You had to have felt it, too.”
She takes a step forward, desperate, grasping at something—anything. “Felt what? That you’ve been ignoring me? That you’ve been pushing me away?” She exhales shakily. “I thought we were just going through a rough patch. I thought you just needed time.”
Riki scoffs, and the sound cuts through her like a knife. “Time?” He lets out a bitter laugh, finally meeting her eyes again. “Y/n, I’ve been trying. I really have. But I just… I don’t feel the same way anymore.”
The room spins.
No. No, he’s lying. He has to be.
Her hands tremble as she shakes her head. “You don’t mean that.”
“Yeah,” he breathes. “I do.”
The finality in his tone makes her knees go weak.
She lets out a shuddering breath, forcing herself to stand her ground. “So that’s it? You’re just done? Just like that?”
Riki shrugs, like it doesn’t even matter. Like she doesn’t even matter. “It’s not working anymore.”
Y/n stares at him, trying to find something—anything—that resembles the boy she fell in love with. But she can’t. He’s already gone.
“You’re a coward,” she whispers, her voice thick with tears. “You don’t get to stand here and act like I’m the problem. You’re the one who gave up.”
riki’s expression hardens, his gaze sharp. “Maybe I did,” he says coldly. “And maybe you should, too.”
The words steal the air from her lungs.
She bites her lip to stop the sob from escaping, blinking rapidly to clear her vision. But it’s useless. She’s breaking, and he’s just standing there, watching it happen.
Y/n inhales shakily, straightening her posture even though her heart is in pieces. “I hope you realize what you’re throwing away,” she murmurs. “I hope you regret this.”
Riki doesn’t flinch. He doesn’t even blink. “I won’t.”
And that’s what finally makes her stop fighting.
She nods slowly, taking a step back. “Okay,” she whispers. “Then I won’t, either.”
She turns before he can see her cry. Before she can change her mind.
She doesn’t slam the door when she leaves. She doesn’t say goodbye.
She just walks away.
And this time, he doesn’t stop her.

y/n flinches. It’s not what he’s saying, it’s how he’s saying it. Detached. Like she’s a problem he’s finally found the courage to get rid of.
“What?” Her voice cracks, but she doesn’t care. “You can’t just—riki, where is this coming from?”
His jaw clenches. He looks away, shaking his head. “Don’t act like you didn’t see this coming. You had to have felt it, too.”
She takes a step forward, desperate, grasping at something—anything. “Felt what? That you’ve been ignoring me? That you’ve been pushing me away?” She exhales shakily. “I thought we were just going through a rough patch. I thought you just needed time.”
Riki scoffs, and the sound cuts through her like a knife. “Time?” He lets out a bitter laugh, finally meeting her eyes again. “Y/n, I’ve been trying. I really have. But I just… I don’t feel the same way anymore.”
The room spins.
No. No, he’s lying. He has to be.
Her hands tremble as she shakes her head. “You don’t mean that.”
“Yeah,” he breathes. “I do.”
The finality in his tone makes her knees go weak.
She lets out a shuddering breath, forcing herself to stand her ground. “So that’s it? You’re just done? Just like that?”
Riki shrugs, like it doesn’t even matter. Like she doesn’t even matter. “It’s not working anymore.”
Y/n stares at him, trying to find something—anything—that resembles the boy she fell in love with. But she can’t. He’s already gone.
“You’re a coward,” she whispers, her voice thick with tears. “You don’t get to stand here and act like I’m the problem. You’re the one who gave up.”
riki’s expression hardens, his gaze sharp. “Maybe I did,” he says coldly. “And maybe you should, too.”
The words steal the air from her lungs.
She bites her lip to stop the sob from escaping, blinking rapidly to clear her vision. But it’s useless. She’s breaking, and he’s just standing there, watching it happen.
Y/n inhales shakily, straightening her posture even though her heart is in pieces. “I hope you realize what you’re throwing away,” she murmurs. “I hope you regret this.”
Riki doesn’t flinch. He doesn’t even blink. “I won’t.”
And that’s what finally makes her stop fighting.
She nods slowly, taking a step back. “Okay,” she whispers. “Then I won’t, either.”
She turns before he can see her cry. Before she can change her mind.
She doesn’t slam the door when she leaves. She doesn’t say goodbye.
She just walks away.
And this time, he doesn’t stop her.
