Since the start of this year, Anastasia and Flash worked like clockwork. They saw each other in the morning, in the evening, and talked often, though the contents of the conversation were negligible. They were a handsome couple, no one had ever doubted their pairing or tried to see it come undone. It just was. Two beautiful people together, as was expected. His brother had implored him to try dating a girl, and he did. Overall, he wasn't sure what was different between 'girlfriend' and any other social arrangement. A level of intimacy, of course, but he ironically got far more intimacy from others than her.
Because of what a stranger she still was to him, he became quiet after Easter break. He told her he no longer wanted to walk with her in the morning, nor see her after classes. With what had happened, her shallow presence would not bring him the joy it once did. It wasn't particularly because anything she did, but a natural rift that grew when they both refused to see the ugliness in each other. He didn't feel much like playing this farce of a courting ritual, he hardly felt like getting out of the bed in the morning.
With that in mind, he waited outside of her class for the last foreseeable time, ready to cut her loose like setting free a hooked fish. He didn't want to hurt her, and instead had convinced himself she would be glad to be rid of him. He had been purposefully detaching for a while now after all, certainly this wouldn't come as a surprise to her, right?

Once Anastasia left her class, she breezed past him with no acknowledgement. She was preoccupied, and they had not been walking the halls together lately, so it did not hurt his pride too much. His heart would speed up as he had to now meet up alongside her and ask for her attention rather than being noticed.
"Anastasia." He'd call out, perhaps a bit more urgently than he'd like, fearing she might find someone else to talk to before he could grab her attention. "Hold on a moment, wait."
He didn't want to have to do this, but he figured they would both be better off once it was done. After all, they weren't doing each other any more favors than their others friends were doing. The pretense of dating was nice when it started, when they spent all their time together, but now it was like being part of a club that you never attended. What was the point?
"Can I talk with you privately, please?" He'd ask, once he had her attention. If she agreed, they could take a few steps off to the side as the hallway emptied.
His expression would likely show how uncomfortable he felt, this was brand new territory for him, despite the other things he had been trying to deal with. This was better than just drifting so far apart that it fell apart on its own, right? He liked loose ends to be tied up.
