...💔 You Broke Me First...
...The next day—...
...Nobita didn’t look at him....
...Not once....
...Not when he entered the classroom....
...Not when he sat down....
...Not even when Dekisugi walked past his desk....
...It was small....
...So small no one else noticed....
...But Dekisugi did....
...—...
...From the front row, his pen paused for just a second....
...Just one second....
...Then continued....
...Good....
...That’s what he had wanted, right?...
...No more staring....
...No more silent following....
...No more… annoyance....
...So why—...
...Why did the room feel slightly… different?...
...—...
...Behind him, Nobita sat unusually still....
...No soft glances....
...No quiet presence reaching forward....
...Nothing....
...Just distance....
...And for the first time—...
...Dekisugi noticed the absence....
...—...
...Break time came....
...Noise returned....
...But something else came with it today....
...Intent....
...Gian leaned against a desk, eyes locked on Nobita....
...“…He’s quieter today.”...
...Jaiko smirked. “Maybe he finally understood his place.”...
...Suneo stiffened beside Nobita....
...“Don’t react,” he whispered....
...Nobita nodded faintly....
...“I won’t…”...
...But his fingers were already trembling....
...—...
...Gian pushed himself off the desk....
...“Let’s test that.”...
...Suneo cursed under his breath. “Ignore them.”...
...But ignoring didn’t mean escaping....
...Not here....
...Not ever....
...—...
...Gian stopped right in front of Nobita’s desk....
...Too close....
...Way too close....
...“Hey.”...
...Nobita didn’t respond....
...His eyes stayed fixed on his notebook....
...“Hey.”...
...This time, louder....
...Still nothing....
...Gian’s smile faded slightly....
...“Oh… acting tough now?”...
...Jaiko laughed. “That’s new.”...
...Suneo stood up instantly....
...“Walk away.”...
...Gian turned his head slowly....
...“…You again.”...
...“I said walk away.”...
...For a moment—...
...The air turned sharp....
...Like something was about to snap....
...And this time—...
...No one spoke to stop it....
...—...
...Gian grabbed Nobita’s collar suddenly and yanked him up....
...“Look at me when I’m talking.”...
...A gasp spread through the classroom....
...Nobita’s notebook fell to the floor....
...His breath hitched....
...“I—I didn’t—”...
...“Didn’t what?” Gian’s grip tightened. “Didn’t hear me? Or just pretending?”...
...Suneo stepped forward, grabbing Gian’s wrist....
...“Let him go.”...
...“Or what?”...
...“Or I’ll—”...
...“You’ll what?” Gian shoved him back roughly....
...Suneo stumbled but didn’t fall....
...Nobita’s heart pounded violently....
...“Please… stop…”...
...But no one listened....
...No one ever did....
...—...
...Jaiko leaned closer, voice dripping with mockery....
...“Where’s your confidence now? Still dreaming about someone way out of your league?”...
...Nobita froze....
...His chest tightened painfully....
...“…Don’t…”...
...“Oh?” She tilted her head. “Did I hit a nerve?”...
...Gian chuckled....
...“Of course she did. Everyone knows he’s obsessed.”...
...Soft laughter echoed again....
...Nobita’s vision blurred slightly....
...Not here…...
...Not like this…...
...—...
...From the front—...
...Dekisugi sat still....
...Unmoving....
...Uninterrupted....
...But his pen hadn’t moved in a while....
...—...
...“Say it.”...
...Gian’s voice pulled everything back....
...Nobita blinked. “…W-What?”...
...“Say who you like.”...
...The classroom went silent....
...Dead silent....
...Suneo’s eyes widened. “Don’t—”...
...“Say it,” Gian repeated, tightening his grip....
...Nobita’s breath became uneven....
...“No… please…”...
...Jaiko smirked....
...“Or should we say it for you?”...
...Nobita shook his head quickly....
...“No—!”...
...“Dekisugi.”...
...The name dropped like a stone....
...Everything froze....
...—...
...Nobita’s heart stopped....
...For a second—...
...He forgot how to breathe....
...Slowly—...
...Slowly—...
...His eyes lifted....
...Toward the front....
...Toward him....
...Dekisugi....
...—...
...For the first time that day—...
...Their eyes met again....
...But this time—...
...There was no distance....
...No accident....
...Just exposure....
...Raw....
...Humiliating....
...Unavoidable....
...—...
...Gian grinned....
...“See? Not so hard.”...
...Nobita’s lips trembled....
...“I didn’t—”...
...“Didn’t what?” Jaiko cut in. “Didn’t want him to know? That’s embarrassing.”...
...Laughter again....
...Louder now....
...Crueler....
...—...
...Dekisugi didn’t react....
...Didn’t speak....
...Didn’t move....
...He just watched....
...Cold....
...Silent....
...Distant....
...Like it meant nothing....
...Like Nobita meant nothing....
...—...
...And that—...
...That hurt more than anything else....
...—...
...“Pathetic.”...
...The word slipped out quietly....
...But in the silence—...
...It sounded loud....
...Too loud....
...Nobita flinched....
...His grip tightened on Gian’s arm....
...“…I know…”...
...His voice cracked....
...“I know I am…”...
...For a moment—...
...Even Gian paused....
...Because that—...
...That wasn’t the reaction they expected....
...—...
...Nobita’s eyes dropped again....
...“I’ll stay away… so just—”...
...Gian shoved him....
...Hard....
...“Too late for that.”...
...Nobita stumbled back—...
...His foot caught on the chair—...
...And—...
...CRASH....
...His body hit the floor....
...Hard....
...A sharp sound echoed....
...And then—...
...Silence....
...—...
...For a second—...
...No one moved....
...—...
...Nobita didn’t get up....
...He stayed there....
...Curled slightly....
...Breathing uneven....
...His hand pressed against the floor—...
...But it shook....
...Badly....
...—...
...Suneo rushed forward....
...“Nobita!”...
...He knelt beside him, panic rising....
...“Hey—hey, look at me—”...
...Nobita didn’t respond immediately....
...His vision blurred....
...His ears rang....
...Something warm trickled down from his forehead....
...Blood....
...—...
...Suneo’s expression darkened instantly....
...“…You went too far.”...
...Gian shrugged. “He fell.”...
...“You pushed him.”...
...“So?”...
...—...
...Suneo stood up slowly....
...And this time—...
...There was no hesitation....
...His fist clenched....
...“You’re done.”...
...—...
...But before anything could happen—...
...A voice cut through again....
...“Enough.”...
...Dekisugi stood up....
...Finally....
...The room went still....
...—...
...His gaze moved briefly—...
...From Gian....
...To Suneo....
...Then—...
...To Nobita....
...Still on the floor....
...Still shaking....
...Still… broken....
...—...
...For a second—...
...Something flickered in his eyes....
...Something quick....
...Something gone just as fast....
...—...
...“Take him to the infirmary.”...
...Calm....
...Controlled....
...Like giving an order....
...Not concern....
...—...
...Suneo clenched his jaw....
...“…You don’t get to act like this is nothing.”...
...Dekisugi didn’t reply....
...—...
...That silence said everything....
...—...
...Suneo looked at Nobita again....
...Then carefully helped him up....
...“Come on… we’re leaving.”...
...Nobita leaned on him weakly....
...His steps unsteady....
...But before leaving—...
...Just once—...
...He looked back....
...—...
...At Dekisugi....
...—...
...Not with hope this time....
...Not with softness....
...But something else....
...Something quieter....
...Something… breaking....
...—...
...Dekisugi met his gaze....
...For a second....
...Just one....
...Then—...
...Looked away....
...—...
...And that—...
...That was worse than the fall....
...—...
