Breathless (Kuroo x Kenma) [timeskip]

Anxious Await

(Kenma POV)

8 am. The first day of my 3rd year in high school has rolled around quickly. The number of hours trying to escape this harsh reality by playing games wasn't enough. I'm gonna get used to it right? I mean, I've already been to this school for 2 years. I should be fine. I wish that was the case. Right now, my palms are sweaty and shaky as I continue playing games in hopes that it will help me calm my nerves down a bit. Let me just say that trying to defeat a boss while being scared to go to school is the most nerve-wracking thing I've ever experienced.

"Kenma, it's just the first day of the new school year. You'll get used to it. Why are you so nervous?"

If only it was that simple. The main reason why I'm nervous is not because of the school itself, but because of someone: Kuroo.

Every day of high school, I've walked with Kuroo. Just me and him together side by side. We promised to never leave each other's side, and I know that he has graduated high school, but I still feel slightly betrayed. Uni doesn't start until 11 am, but he said that I should get used to making my way to school on my own, considering how I will be doing so for a year. I know, I should be more considerate. He's probably still sleeping right now, but just walking down the same path without him just makes me feel so alone. I no longer have to wait for him to greet me outside my house. I no longer have to wait for his bright smile. I no longer have to wait for him to say "Good morning Kyanma" whenever he sees me. I have to just walk. Alone.
