[EDITING] Mad Medley ~ A Story of Mistakes // Kuroo X Reader

#18 - Waiting for the end

*** Back to [Name]'s POV ***

I wished I could read Kuroo's mind.

Another day had passed, and it was another day we lived as the other one didn't exist.

At least HE's living as if I didn't exist.

I decided I couldn't go on like this, so I gathered all the courage and bravery I had in my blood and veins, because I was about to do something really dangerous. I was to text my father. I stared at the wall for god knows how long, my mind blank.

How did it come to this? I must be really out of my mind.

You know when you have to write an email to a teacher or work related stuff and, though you know how to speak and write your language, the only words to come to your mind are either too formal and stiff, or baby talk? I was in that mood every time I had to text my father.

It seems dumb, but after a very looooong time, I came up with an acceptable message: "Hey, do you have a couple minutes? We need to talk".

His reply was a simple "4pm tomorrow, [Random Café Name]", but still better than nothing.

Blunt as usual. Jeez, old man...

"What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I've said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
The hardest part of ending is starting again!"

Some songs have the power of relating exactly to your mood and to what's going on in your mind. I'd been waiting for my father, sitting at a table in a café and filling my brain with music for almost an hour. I was so nervous I had already drunk three herbal teas and had two large cookies. My inner self was burping like a pig.

Truth is, I was desperately trying to ignore the fact that I was in a maid café.

Of all the places in the world?!??! Kono hentai yaro---

It was a victorian style maid café with girls wearing cat ears and tails were literally everywhere, and what's worse was the fact that they didn't even seem to notice or care that I was a girl wearing male clothes. And they were meowing and calling me Bocchan!

Kuso--- At least get me one demon butler, then we could say we're even!

Yeah, I was wearing my male university uniform. I gave a look at my own jacket sleeves and checkered trousers, hoping I'd be wearing different ones in a few days. After what seemed infinity to me, the old man decided to show up.

"So you came... late" I dryly mumbled.

He didn't even waste the time to come up with a satisfying excuse and only said: "Business".

I scoffed. It was always business with him.

"What do you have to tell me? Wasn't a phone call enough?" he raised his eyebrows, as if in surprise, but still his voice was low and monotone. "I don't have any spare time to lose, you know", he added after a little pause, which he used to glare at me.

I wanted to curse him and spit out all I knew about how he used his time to have fun with her new "friend", but I tried to chill - three herbal teas hadn't been enough, apparently - and took a deep breath. As if the fact that we were in a bloody maid café wasn't already it! 

Keep your cool. Cursing him isn't gonna get you out of that shitty academy.

"Well... I've been having issues, so I need to move to another university" I went straight to the point and, noticing he'd already opened his mouth, I hurried to add something to shut him up "Don't worry, it's not about the 'faking-to-be-a-guy'  thing. I'm not like mom, I can live with your stupid obsession of not having had a son".

He seemed to calm down and asked "Oya? So what's the matter?".

OYA? Seriously? I had to do my best to hold back from laughing and letting out the fourth herbal tea through my nose. It took me a while to calm down, while he stared at me in pure astonishment, as if I were crazy.

"I can't tell you. Long story" I sighed "Just try to trust me this time, okay? I'll keep wearing my guy clothes".

Oops, white lie.

As I stepped to my dorm room, my steps were finally light as I knew I only had to stay there for three days more. Three days of me and Kuroo living next door and still ignoring each other.

Or, at least, I thought so.

Hello theeeere, 

Ok, I know I'm late with the story update, but if you've been reading my stories for quite some time you already knew 'Shiri-posting-on-time' wouldn't last hehe

Or maybe you didn't even notice, did you? :::::::

Okay, nevermind.

The song quotes in the title and text are from Linkin Park's "Waiting for the End" of course!
