Just a Fairytale [Kuroko Tetsuya x Reader x Nijimura Shuzo]{KnB}

[C.5] College: Diary Entry Five

Listless eyes stare at a plate of two uneaten pieces of toast. The weekend went by with more and more arguments between you and Kuroko. Each time one of you called back to apologize and explain your feelings, another debate ensued. The cycle has you spent and with even less sleep. 

Nijimura stares at you from across the table, eating his hearty breakfast. By chance, he picked up a few heated exchanges between you and your boyfriend when walking by your door. He had no intention to listen in, but when his and Marie's name were brought up, he felt inclined to stay by the door and eavesdrop.

Many revelations arose from his action, and he has mixed feelings on how to react. As much as he wants to stomp over to Marie and get to the bottom of this, he knows that all he will do is make matters worse. From what he heard, the situation can be resolved if you spoke to Marie directly. His girlfriend is reasonable and compassionate-- to his knowledge.

"Hey, [F.Name]. You got plans tonight?" 

You glance up from your plate and shake your head. 

"Why don't you come with Marie and I to eat some burgers?" 

"Ummm..." He watches as your brain spins for an answer as you map out what might happen with each choice. It takes you a minute to respond, this time with some resolve. "I'll be there."

"'Alright. I'll pick you guys up from the campus entrance after practice," he says as he texts Marie the details.

You nod your head and return to staring at your toast. Finally, you decide that breakfast will not agree with your stomach today and reach out for your phone. "I'm gonna leave."

"You're not gonna wait for me?"

"I want to go ahead, I have my project to work on." You stand up and glance at your phone, looking for the time but instead your eyes land on a notification. A large text box appears filled with vitriol and it brings a wave of uneasiness.  

Suddenly, your stomach has the need to empty itself despite it not receiving an ounce of food. Dropping your phone, you rush over to the bathroom and close the door behind you. Sounds of your violent sickness echo down the hall and Shuzo stares over with interest.

Two minutes pass and you return, this time paler than usual and your mascara streaking. He opens his mouth to question what just happened, but you don't give him a chance to speak. You grab your phone from the table, pick up your bag, and run out the apartment. 

The whirlwind of events leaves your friend stunned. He wants to understand what was happening but you've become so closed off to him recently. Such odd tendencies had concerned him on Friday... that he returned earlier than usual to make sure you were where you said you were. 

Marie wasn't happy, but she was surrounded by friends and would be safe. He even called to make sure she made it home fine. But what he stepped into when he returned home was an inferno of emotions has he heard you shouting for Kuroko's agreeance on some matter. 

Knowing there isn't much he can do, he finishes his breakfast at his usual pace. After washing his dishes, he gathers his belongings for the day but halts upon realizing something: you grabbed his phone and left yours haphazardly on the floor.

With a sigh, he reaches down to grab your phone, knowing that his task now is to return it before your class begins. Upon picking it up, he notices that your phone is unlocked and the problem that troubles you glares right at him.

It's a group chat with several names he recognizes-- Marie and all the girls that flock around her. Curious eyes read the large text box from a girl named Tomoko.
