OLD HABITS DIE HARD, EVEN WITH MONEY

synopsis: Reo cannot live without his girlfriend like the flowers wither with no sunlight; however, you could live with for once buying a new item instead of gluing together an old, broken one

Money, mentality, skills — he has what it takes to conquer every challenge the world can hurl towards him. Every obstacle can easily be crushed into dust by The Reo Mikage.

Apparently, he did not account for an anomaly — you.

He is not sure whether to laugh or cry with the way your eyebrows are stubbornly drawn together as you scoff loudly to make sure he understands your disdain for the currently ongoing discussion between you two.

"See, I told you it's nothing super glue cannot fix!"

Following the movement of your triumphantly raised head with nose pointed at the ceiling, Reo offers you a long groan as he supresses a small smile. Is he about to rip out his hair from frustration? Absolutely; however, his heart softens as you continue to ramble about your methods for repairs of everything the humankind has had ever invented. Reo is pretty sure even NASA would fall short when faced with your inextinguishable drive to patch up anything broken. There is no doubt you would find a way to fix a damn nuclear plant. Maybe he should get you a career in engineering.

Your lovely, patient boyfriend has already tried explaining to you again and again that not every piece of clothing should be mended, not every pot can be rescued after you set it on fire and certainly not every thing that is falling apart should be pieced back together with that beloved super glue of yours.

Whenever Reo attempts to convince you to use his money to replace some of your old, well-worn items, it only ends up with more long evenings full of angered words and, following right after, loving, hushed whispers and apologies. Because no matter how many times the same quarrel repeats, you both are aware of how utterly stupid it is to fight when both of you mean well.

Reo would simply love to spoil you stupid, show you how material possessions pale in comparison to your visage, how, in the end, neither luxury goods nor the most beautiful metaphors he can muster up are enough to showcase this growing ache his heart feels both when he is around you and when he is alone — because even then, he is only capable of thinking about you.

He wants to offer every piece of himself at the altar of your love.

And your refusal wounds him, even when it is accompanied by such delicate touches and sweet words speaking of your affection for who he really is as a person, not his financial background.

He has a black card, strong will and talent.

In this world nothing can make Reo Mikage feel helpless.

Except for his girlfriend — his one and only goddess, his sun without which he would wither, the very person that owns his body and soul.
