Mai decided to stay at Seijoh to spend the last few months until Hajime graduates. After that she'll go back to Fukurodani for third year while Haji studies in California. Bokuto has to go on vacation for winter and weirdly Kaori and Yukie and the rest of the Fukurodani team had their schedules taken up for the time being. So me and Akaashi went exploring. My parents were on another business trip. They asked if I wanted to come because it was in Australia but I said no. I don't want to spend Christmas in a tropical climate and bugs the size of my stomach. As for Keiji, his parents were also on vacation but Keiji didn't want to go. So we agreed to spend Christmas together. Days prior, we were running around Central Tokyo and buying each other gifts. So far, he's given me anime figurines, a necklace I was eyeing at Odaiba and some other clothes. As for me, I bought him new volleyball shoes, just in time for Nationals in January, a hoodie he wanted to get at Odaiba and a friendship bracelet with my initials on it. My bracelet has his initials on it. The lady at the till thought we were dating and he played it off as we were and brought me close to him. She smiles and says "Hope you two love birds have a great day!". It's not that I didn't mind, it's just so spontaneous and weird, considering we're not together. But that didn't stop the growing feelings for him of course. My house was the closest to Central Tokyo so he crashed at my house, resulting to his kisses that came out of no where and now it was the neck kisses from behind when I would be washing the dishes.

"So how's our pretend married life?" He comes up behind me while I grabbed a knife to wash.

"You know you shouldn't sneak up on someone who's holding something that can kill you!" I point the dirty knife at him before turning back and washing away the filth.

"Alright, I was just asking my future wife"

I didn't respond, just put my head back down and focused on the dishes. He's only known me for a few months and he already wants to marry me? Is this normal for him? I have to ask Kaori and Yukie. "So I was thinking, there's a final light garden at Christmas eve and it's half off couples. Do you want to pretend date and get half off?" He suggests and I nod in response, scared that I'll say some dumb ass thing if I did. "Well it says here to prove it with first date photos so what now?"

"I mean we have those photos from earlier this week from the photo booth. I think that's reason enough" I wipe my hands on the dry cloth and turn to face him. What are you getting at Keiji?

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

We were in line for a couple of minutes, holding onto the photo strip and Keiji holding me close to him. The ticket person called us up and I showed him the picture. He shrugs and hands us tickets, half the price like promised. Keiji leads me inside and the tunnel was very long (like akaashi's di- i'm so sorry for being like this i mean to say oh fuck).

He made sure to walk very slow, holding me hand through the place even if the crowd was mostly at the hanging lights. "Do you want a photo for instagram?" He asks. I shook my head no and continued walking.

"I already have a post with the light tunnel so no need."

We continue walking through, talking about non sense things like the things surrounding us. "So what's your plan after high school, Keiji?"

"Uhh not so sure yet actually. It looks like I have a plan ahead of me but I really don't. I'm not like Bokuto-san who has a volleyball career waiting for him. My grades can get me somewhere so we will see. Let's just focus on the now and our current problems. I don't want to worry about what's tomorrow when I should be worrying about what I'll do in the next few hours after we're finished the light garden. What about you y/n-chan? Any hidden agenda you're keeping from me?"

I shake my head no. "Well Mai is staying in California with Hajime and I've always wanted to travel the world. So maybe I'll stay here in Japan for a little while until I've saved up enough to travel. And if I want to stay in school, I don't really know as well. But I'm really set on the travelling thing. No one is really holding me back or telling me no. So why not right?" He nods and grabs my hand tighter.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

We continued on the light garden until it was time to come home. To exit we had to go through another tunnel. This one offered a softer light to it opposed to the blinding LED lights at the beginning. Everyone was about to leave and we were about to be the last couple people left.

We were half way across the tunnel when Keiji stopped. "I have to tell you something." He grabs my hands and breathes heavily. He was timid and nervous I could tell. "If you haven't caught on yet y/n. I'm seriously in love with you." I stood there frozen and speechless. "And I know you probably think differently of me and that I'll break your heart like he did but I swear, I won't. It may seem so weird because we've only known each other for months but I do love you. I want to be the one you say I love you to every night and have spontaneous sleep overs with. I want you y/n. And I'll wait for you as long as it takes. So please accept this confession and become my girlfriend? I can kiss you as my girlfriend and not just a person who lets me kiss them because I want to. I can show you off to the world and make you feel loved. If you let me be yours? Will you let me be yours as well?"

I could feel the world stop for a while as he stared into my eyes for an answer. He was serious about this. Not fucking with me or anything. This was something he wanted. Time was slowly stopping around us as he waited for an answer. The anticipation ate him alive and it was very much visible in his eyes.
