Irreplaceable || Haikyuu

14. Flashbacks

Y/n's POV

The sky was painted in multicolors as Kenma, Kuroo and I walked down the road we always used to go together. The three of us kept silent and just enjoyed our presences in peace until Kenma spoke up.

"Oi! I wanted to go to the gaming shop over there. I heard there was an updated version of (fav/game)!" he said as he lazily pointed to the building.

And it was right next to the abandoned house that haunted me almost every night. I stared at the empty building, millions of thoughts rushing to my head. But all of them reminded me of one person.

Ikki...

I gulped and looked away, feeling uneasy. Kuroo seemed to notice it and placed his hand on my shoulder. "Hey, is something wrong?" he asked.

I avoided his gaze and shook my head. "No, nothing's wrong." I said.

I feel so uncomfortable.

The stares from people behind the building wasn't making it any better and I just wanted to get out of their sights.

"(Fav/game)'s your favorite right? Do you wanna come with me and play it together at my place?" Kenma asked softly, brushing out his hair out of his face.

I debated inside my head, if I should go with him and let go of the incident. Or still keep it inside and not say a word about it.

"Yeah, sure! Why not?" I shrugged.

"But if you want, you can stay here with me while Kenma go shop." Tetsuro said. "It's up to you if you want to go inside."

"Hmm... You sure?" I asked him. He insisted me to go with Kenma as he pushed us to the store.

My eyes were locked to the abandoned building the whole time to the little walk to the gaming store next to it. The cold air that the AC blew on our face made me shiver slightly when as soon was we went inside.

I felt someone's warmth hold my hand and noticed it was Kenma's. He looked away to the games that were neatly stacked on the shelves while he drew small circles over the back of my hand, sending butterflies to my stomach.

Y/n. Stop freaking out. He's just a friend.

"N/n-chan? Do you like this one also?" he asked as he showed me a DVD box. I noticed his cheeks were softly dusted in pink as his soft eyes darted to something else.

We are just friends who hold hands... and go to video game shops... and blush when we're around each other and-

No.

Just. Friends.

I felt my whole face was burning up, my heart was beating out of my mouth.

"O-Oh sure! I'll get that then." I stuttered.

He tilted his head cutely at my stuttering and stared at me.

"Did you just stutte-"

"HEY! Is that a cat?!" I yelled when I saw a feline resting on it's owner's shoulder. The cat flinched at my loud voice and hissed towards me, sending me a death glare.

Kenma looked away from me to see it.

Now's my chance to get out of here before he notices something weird about me!

"Oh yeah, there is a cat-"

I zoomed out of the shop, swinging the door open.

"Phew... that... was close..." I muttered.
