y/n pov

"Tsukishima! NO!" Your father held the knife up against Tsukishima's throat. You could see blood already trickling down his neck, but you couldn't do anything. Your father had you chained up. "Father! Stop! Please! I beg of you!"

He didn't listen. "This is what happens when you disobey me, my dear y/n. Your little friend here gets to die. And it's all your fault." He started laughing that maniacal laugh of his.

"Hey... y/n."

"Huh?" You look up and see Tsukishima. He has a small smile on his face. He looks... tired.

"I'll be alright. Just go. Get out of here. Away from him." He said in a gentle voice.

"No... I don't wanna leave you. I'm gonna miss you..."

"Go. I don't want you to get hurt. Please." He paused. "Do it for me."

That's when you broke. You sobbed, screaming out to him as your father just chuckled, amused by your cries.

"Well, I think I've had my fun for now. Better say goodbye." Father said with a smirk.

"What? ... no. No. No no no no no no. NO!"

"Goodbye y/n. I love you." Tsukishima said with a smile.

Then he did it.

Father slit his throat.

"NOOOOO!!" You screamed. 

Your father dropped Tsukishima's limp body on you. "I hope you enjoy your early birthday present. I made it all by myself. Just for you." Your father said with a wide smirk on his face. He looked psychotic.

Tears rolled down your face. You were silent. You felt empty. Broken. What am I gonna do without him?

"Tsukishima Kei... I love you, too." You whispered.

"TIME TO DIE!!" Your father yelled.

He swung the knife and-

"AAAAHHHH!!" You shot up screaming and gasping for air. You were sweating and tears were streaming down your face. Your heart felt like it was going to pound out of your chest.

"L/N! Are you okay?!" Tsukishima asked worriedly as he sat up. He put his hands to your cheeks and started wiping your tears with his thumbs.

You just sat there, trying to catch your breath. Once Tsukishima put his hands down, you threw your arms around his neck and held him tight. You sobbed into the crook of his neck. He instantly hugged you back, his arms wrapping around your waist, pulling you close to him.

"Shh... it's alright. Everything's gonna be okay." He whispered, his tone soft. He moved one of his hands to stroke your head, calming you down.

Your breathing slowed and your tears dried. "I thought I lost you..." You whispered.

"Don't worry. You won't lose me. I won't let that happen."

You and Tsukishima sat there on his bed, held in an embrace. It all felt so familiar to you. The warmth, the safety, all of it. You think back to the evening behind the gym.

"I don't think I have the ability to love someone. I don't even think I have the ability to feel happiness. I'm so scared... of everything. Myself. My father. My friends. Just... everything."
"I'm sorry."
"Huh? W-Why are you sorry? I'm the one who should be sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. That was too much. I was being selfi-"

"I wish I could love."

 If I could love, I think I would love you, Tsukishima. I don't think that will ever change.

"What time is it, Tsukishima?"

"... Kei."

"Sorry?"

"Call me Kei." He picked up his phone. 

"But-"

"It's about 2 in the morning. You should go back to sleep."

"Alright... Kei. Call me f/n." You said as you laid back down, snuggling into his chest. 

You felt his hand rest on your back, then pull you closer. 

You soon fell back asleep in his arms. You felt so safe. You didn't know if you deserved to feel this safe. To feel this wanted. No. Father was wrong. I do deserve love. Everyone deserves... love.

"Tsukishima Kei... I love you, too."

You bury your face farther into his chest as you remember your dream. There was a blush on your face, but Kei would never know. 

Am I capable of feeling love? 

Do I love Kei?

... Or was it just a dream?
