People Don't Change DISCONTINUED

Summary:

"How do you feel pain that isn't your own? I've never worried about someone else, except for show."

Nagai Kei has kept himself the same his entire life.
He took pride in himself, with a calm personality which brought a steadiness and reliability to his everyday life.
When he spoke, it always made sense. When he moved, it was precise and calculated. He delivered rational decisions and never doubted himself.

Nagai Kei didn't want to change. He didn't want to loose the consistency he'd been clinging to his entire life.
Yet, he can feel himself unravelling, crumbling apart and slipping away through his fingertips.

Summary:

just notes

Chapter Text

Hello! You can skip this if you guys want it doesn't really matter, just a little extra info that I wanted to add.

Just a quick notice before anyone reads this,
This fic originally started off as me projecting onto Nagai as I'm aroace but it spiralled into this whole story and I couldn't help myself but write the whole thing...
Anyways this contains major spoilers (character death, plot spoilers, etc.) for the manga and it kinda spoils the anime ig? they're very different in their own respective ways but if you haven't read the manga it might get confusing at multiple parts.. haha.
There's also one (I might add another later if I feel like it idk..) original character, who is a minor character and doesn't even have a name but I promise it makes sense alr? they don't even speak at all so don't worry abt it.
And also I wrote this story out of order (i.e. I've written the first 2 chapters, the last one and the 4th one but haven't written in between) so it'll probably take me longer to post chapters in order, since I've got classes and stuff too but I've been writing this since July so I hope you all enjoyyyyyy

edit: I've been writing this since july 2021 and its february of 2023 now so um yeah it's takin a hot second for me to write this (I keep on forgetting ha)

that's it I think,
bye bye
