youβre tired of hiori yo being such a sadist. (but you still love him)
you were genuinely starting to get tired of hiori yo and his habit of treating your patience like some kind of personal challenge, because while you loved him more than you could explain, there were days when being around him felt like a constant test of how long you could keep yourself from losing your mind.
hiori was never loud or openly obnoxious about it either, which somehow made everything worse, because he could sit beside you with that same calm, sleepy expression while quietly doing little things he knew would annoy you, watching your reactions from the corner of his eye as though your frustration was the most entertaining thing in the world.
he had mastered the art of looking completely innocent despite knowing exactly what he was doing, and whenever you caught him, there would always be that tiny hint of amusement on his face that made it obvious he was enjoying himself.
you could practically feel him waiting for you to finally snap, and the second you did, he would act completely unbothered, as if your annoyance was nothing more than a harmless part of your relationship.
it drove you crazy, especially because hiori rarely needed to say much to get under your skin; sometimes all it took was one knowing look, one quiet laugh, or the smallest smirk when he realized he had successfully pushed another button.
you would find yourself sitting there wondering why you continued putting up with him, only to remember that underneath all that teasing and quiet cruelty was the same hiori who was surprisingly gentle with you when it actually mattered.
the worst part was that hiori seemed to know exactly how far he could go before you genuinely became upset, and he always stopped just before crossing that line, leaving you even more frustrated because you knew he wasn't actually trying to hurt you.
he simply enjoyed watching you react, especially when you tried desperately to remain unaffected by him.
whenever you ignored him after he had annoyed you, he would gradually drift closer without saying anything, eventually resting against you as though nothing had happened, quietly waiting for you to stop being mad.
there was something almost childish about the way he sought your attention after deliberately irritating you, especially when he knew you would eventually soften and let him stay close.
despite how much you complained about his sadistic little habits, you couldn't deny that hiori's affection often came through those small, quiet actions rather than obvious displays.
he remembered the things that made you laugh, noticed when your mood changed, stayed close when you were upset, and somehow always knew when you needed comfort even if he pretended not to care.
his teasing was simply the part of him that made loving him exhausting sometimes, because he knew exactly how to push your buttons and found far too much amusement in watching you react.
still, whenever he eventually settled beside you and became quiet again, all that irritation would slowly fade, leaving you with the familiar realization that you weren't actually tired of hiori himself; you were just tired of his ridiculous habit of making you fall in love with him all over again immediately after driving you completely insane.
