These obsidian orbs of mine linger in your sight. They search for you in every corner.

I almost find myself to be slightly obsessive, am I in trouble?...

A certain warmth climbs up my heart when I see you smile. The thought of holding you close makes me happy to the point of going insane. It's unbearable to watch you fade away from me. When the time comes for you to leave...

Will I be a part of your memories?

Will I just be a singular memory?

Or...

Will you not remember me at all?

The distance between us isn't closing in, nor do I expect for it to happen. I am nothing but a variable in your equation, forever replaceable. There are plenty of others widening and filling the gap between us. It's no wonder why you won't look at me, it's no wonder why you won't look at me...

All I can do is admire that wide back of yours, watch you step away from me as the clock ticks second by second.

AUTHOR'S NOTE :

Hello everyone, deathroes here! :D

Sumi to Kanae is my second novel after Printer Ink and Ginger Tea. Well, I have a dozen of plot ideas but it's always the hardest to write the connecting parts. Unlike my previous novel, this would be more of a light-hearted gl. Or would it be? Hahaha well, let's see~

The slow burn part is constant. You can also expect a side couple! The development of the side couple would be sooner than the main couple. So, please do not succumb in the face of suffering and be patient.

NSFW/18+ tag is valid but not until late in the novel. Trigger warnings will be added before every chapter, so please review them. I'm planning to keep this novel short, around 30-50 chapters. In addition to that, I'll be updating this novel slower than my previous one. I hope you all will enjoy the fruits of time. Thank you :3
