Historia. | Kuroo Tetsuro

23

The summer break passed by quickly, and by quickly, it's been two weeks since classes resumed. There's going to be exams, the Spring Inter High Preliminaries..? The thing—that round before nationals. We're all busy again.

We were also busy with the trip with Maki to the beach, since she was free that time. She's been taking workshops, acting and practicing whenever she has time. Before that trip, we even had Misaki's birthday. We didn't have a party because Kenma kept her to himself.

Now that school is back, Misaki has been spending time with the Student Council Officers, with Maki and some weird third-year. Honami and I were left with manager duties, and we have actually been doing camps with the schools from the camp before. Karasuno, Fukurodani... and some schools that I didn't really pay attention to. I feel so rude.

I'm in the library, looking for textbooks that has the information about the topic we discussed during Modern Literature. It's so difficult to look for them even though books are sectioned and divided by aisles. I've been searching for an hour already. I haven't eaten lunch just to find the books, but I only found two out of five.

Someone knocks on the shelf, and I find my boyfriend staring at me worriedly. "I was looking for you everywhere." I smile apologetically and turn back to the shelf to look for the books. "Your bento was untouched. You haven't eaten yet."

"I need to find some books. I need them for the exams next week, so I figured I wouldn't eat for now." I turn to him as he takes the books from me, looking at me with very worried eyes, and I can't help but feel bad. "Maybe help me look for them? Then I could eat before lunch ends?"

"Show me the list." I take it out my pocket and he steals it from me. "I have one of them, I bought it last time. The others.... I know where to get them." He grabs my hand and takes me to an aisle.

He smiled apologetically as he asked me to hold on to the books while he reached for the ones on the top. He got the two books, and took back the ones with me. I'm happy that we have all of them now. It took him three minutes, and it took me an hour. I should've asked him from the very beginning.

"You frequent here?" I ask, and he nods. "I thought you were only a chemistry addict." He chuckles and pats my head.

"Don't underestimate your boyfriend that's in a college preparatory class." He carries the books for me, and I logged in to borrow them. We head out, and he stops walking right by the vending machine. "(Y/n)." I hum in response, and he smiles at me. "Look for me first before you look for other things. Some guys made a really bad joke about you, and I almost broke down."

"What did they say?" He bends over and presses a kiss on my forehead.

"They saw a blazer at the rooftop, and said that it belonged to you... that you jumped off." I can feel my whole body feel numb. "I got pissed because I knew you tried to do it before." I wipe his cheek when a tear rolled down. "Tell me where you are next time. I'm going to have a heart attack from worrying about you."

"I'm sorry.." The incident weighed on him more than anyone could've expected. Those jerks who made that joke, I will kill them when I see them. "I'm right here, and I promise, I'll never hurt myself or do anything like that ever again." He smiles and nods, and buries his face on my shoulder, crying a little to ease up.

He and I went on our way, and we made a stop at his classroom. A few boys were teasing him about it, and luckily I saw Kai, he helped me with getting them away from me. Tetsuro came back outside with no books. He offered to be the one to carry them home later. We went to the bench outside, and he just watched me eat my food while he asked me a few questions for some homework.
