"Good morning."
Rai didn't even bother turning around at Zade's voice.
On any other day, that would've at least earned Zade a glare sharp enough to slice through bone. But today?
No.
Rai was tired of him.
Alas, why would anyone lie this early in the morning?
Who, exactly, was having a good morning?
Because Rai certainly wasn't.
Not even remotely close.
"Oh… did I succeed?" Zade continued, voice far too pleased with itself. "Did it work? Are you extra annoyed today? Thank you."
…Yeah, no. That couldn't be ignored.
Rai's tongue practically itched to snap back, to yell, to curse, to throw something preferably heavy, but instead, he just turned and glared in the end.
'No...Don't react.
Don't react.'
Reactions...
That's exactly what this bastard wants.
Zade lived for this. Thrived on it. Probably woke up every morning thinking, how do I ruin Rai's peace today?
So Rai just had to endure it.
