...💔 You Broke Me First...
...The classroom felt… normal....
...Too normal....
...Students talked. Laughed. Complained about assignments. Chairs scraped, books flipped, voices overlapped....
...Everything was the same....
...Except—...
...Something wasn’t....
...—...
...Dekisugi noticed it the moment he walked in....
...Not consciously....
...Not immediately....
...But something in the air felt… off....
...Like a sound missing from a familiar place....
...Like silence where there shouldn’t be....
...He took his seat....
...Opened his book....
...Picked up his pen....
...Routine....
...Unchanged....
...But—...
...His eyes shifted....
...Just slightly....
...Toward the back....
...—...
...Nobita was there....
...Sitting in his usual seat....
...Head down....
...Quiet....
...Still....
...—...
...That was normal....
...So why did it feel different?...
...—...
...Dekisugi looked away....
...Irrelevant....
...—...
...Behind him—...
...Suneo watched everything carefully....
...More carefully than before....
...His gaze moved between Nobita… and Dekisugi....
...Watching....
...Measuring....
...Guarding....
...—...
...“Did you take your medicine?” Suneo asked quietly....
...Nobita nodded faintly....
...“…Yeah.”...
...“You’re sure?”...
...“…Yeah.”...
...His voice was soft....
...Calm....
...Too calm....
...Suneo didn’t like it....
...Not at all....
...—...
...“Hey.”...
...The voice came suddenly....
...Too close....
...Suneo’s expression hardened instantly....
...Gian stood beside them....
...Jaiko just behind him....
...But today—...
...They didn’t look amused....
...They looked… curious....
...—...
...Gian tilted his head slightly....
...“No reaction?”...
...Silence....
...Nobita didn’t even look up....
...—...
...Jaiko frowned....
...“What, ignoring us now?”...
...Still nothing....
...—...
...Suneo leaned back slightly, his tone cold....
...“Leave.”...
...Gian smirked....
...“I wasn’t talking to you.”...
...Then, leaning closer to Nobita—...
...“What happened? Lost your voice?”...
...…...
...Nothing....
...—...
...Not even a flinch....
...—...
...And that—...
...That was new....
...—...
...Gian’s smile faded slightly....
...“…Oi.”...
...Still nothing....
...—...
...Suneo spoke again, sharper this time....
...“I said leave.”...
...A pause....
...Then—...
...Gian straightened....
...“…This is boring.”...
...Jaiko scoffed....
...“Yeah. He’s not even fun to mess with anymore.”...
...And just like that—...
...They walked away....
...—...
...Suneo watched them go....
...Then looked back at Nobita....
...“…Hey.”...
...No response....
...“Nobita.”...
...Slowly—...
...Nobita lifted his head....
...“…Hm?”...
...That blank look again....
...Quiet....
...Empty....
...—...
...Suneo’s chest tightened....
...“…You have to react.”...
...“…Why?”...
...The question was simple....
...But it hit hard....
...“Because if you don’t, they’ll think they’ve already broken you.”...
...Nobita blinked....
...“…Maybe they have.”...
...—...
...Silence....
...—...
...Suneo didn’t know what to say to that....
...Because—...
...He couldn’t deny it....
...—...
...From the front—...
...Dekisugi heard everything....
...Every word....
...Every pause....
...Every silence....
...—...
...His pen stopped again....
...—...
...Maybe they have....
...—...
...The sentence lingered....
...Uncomfortable....
...Unnecessary....
...And yet—...
...It didn’t leave....
...—...
...For the first time—...
...He turned....
...Not fully....
...Just enough....
...—...
...Nobita sat there....
...Quiet....
...Still....
...Different....
...—...
...No nervous glances....
...No soft smiles....
...No… presence reaching toward him....
...—...
...Nothing....
...—...
...And suddenly—...
...It clicked....
...—...
...This was what he asked for....
...—...
...So why—...
...Why did it feel like something was missing?...
...—...
...His gaze lingered for a second too long....
...Then—...
...He turned back....
...—...
...“…Focus.”...
...He muttered it under his breath....
...To himself....
...—...
...But the words didn’t settle....
...—...
...After class—...
...The hallway filled quickly....
...Students moving, talking, rushing....
...Noise everywhere....
...—...
...Nobita walked through it quietly....
...Bag on his shoulder....
...Steps light....
...Almost… unnoticed....
...—...
...Suneo stayed close....
...Closer than usual....
...Watching everything....
...Anyone who looked too long....
...Anyone who got too close....
...—...
...“…Wait here,” Suneo said suddenly....
...Nobita blinked. “Where are you going?”...
...“Just stay.”...
...And he left before Nobita could ask more....
...—...
...So Nobita stood there....
...Near the staircase....
...Alone....
...—...
...“…You’re different.”...
...The voice came from behind....
...—...
...Nobita froze....
...Slowly—...
...Slowly—...
...He turned....
...—...
...Dekisugi stood there....
...A few steps away....
...Hands in his pockets....
...Expression unreadable....
...—...
...For a second—...
...Just one second—...
...Nobita’s heart reacted....
...Out of habit....
...Out of memory....
...—...
...Then—...
...It quieted again....
...—...
...“…Am I?” Nobita asked softly....
...Dekisugi watched him....
...Carefully....
...“…You stopped.”...
...A pause....
...“…Looking.”...
...—...
...Nobita blinked....
...Then looked away....
...“…You told me to.”...
...—...
...Simple....
...Direct....
...No emotion....
...—...
...That wasn’t how it used to be....
...—...
...Dekisugi’s gaze sharpened slightly....
...“…And you listened?”...
...“…Yeah.”...
...—...
...Silence....
...—...
...That should have been enough....
...That should have ended the conversation....
...—...
...But it didn’t....
...—...
...“…Why?”...
...The question slipped out before he could stop it....
...—...
...Nobita looked back at him....
...And for the first time—...
...There was something in his eyes....
...Not hope....
...Not warmth....
...But something softer....
...Something… tired....
...—...
...“Because you don’t like it.”...
...—...
...The answer was quiet....
...But it landed heavily....
...—...
...Dekisugi didn’t respond immediately....
...Because—...
...That wasn’t what he expected....
...—...
...Not obedience....
...Not this kind....
...—...
...“…You’re strange.”...
...He said it again....
...But it didn’t sound the same....
...—...
...Nobita gave a faint smile....
...“…I know.”...
...—...
...A small silence settled between them....
...—...
...Then—...
...“…Sorry.”...
...—...
...The word came out unexpectedly....
...Soft....
...Unplanned....
...—...
...Dekisugi stilled....
...“…For what?”...
...—...
...Nobita looked down....
...“…For being annoying.”...
...—...
...Something shifted....
...Subtle....
...But real....
...—...
...Because for the first time—...
...That word didn’t feel right anymore....
...—...
...“…I never said—”...
...Dekisugi stopped....
...Mid-sentence....
...—...
...Because he had....
...—...
...And now—...
...He couldn’t take it back....
...—...
...“…It’s fine,” Nobita said quietly....
...And turned....
...—...
...Just like that—...
...He walked away....
...—...
...No hesitation....
...No lingering....
...No looking back....
...—...
...Dekisugi stood there....
...Watching....
...—...
...And for the first time—...
...He didn’t feel in control of the situation....
...—...
...Because something had changed....
...—...
...And he hadn’t decided it....
