So it has been a while. Quite a long one too. But today, you're meeting up with your high school crush for the first time in years. Of course, it remained a crush because you never got to truly be in a romantic relationship with him. You almost did though. Unfortunately, due to how long ago your high school thrills were, you don't even remember why you couldn't score the goal.

Dang it Kise, how could I do that to myself? I wonder how my life would have turned out if I tried?

The ambitious one not going all out? Ridiculous, coming from you. Although, romance was never your field of expertise. Ah, perhaps I didn't want to bother his modelling career...

I wonder how he is... Must be cooler than ever!

Speaking of the devil, the most angelic voice from your high school days has once again returned to you. It was as if you were brought back to life. Your environment seemed more colourful after hearing your name being called out by him. You can feel yourself smiling so widely. Hahah! But where is he?  You grin to yourself, looking around.

There it is again, your name out in the world. He's calling for you, yet he is nowhere to be seen. You inhale a sharp breath of air, excited. Come on, man, show up. You attempt to call his name but the thought of him and his smile from way back when filled your head, making you incapable to perform basic human functions. So you sat on a nearby bench, looking around like a wild animal. There we go, I have Kise Ryouta brain rot.

"Are you having a brain rot right now?" Where is the man? Why is he trying to be so mysterious? Silly as ever, I see. Would you even still recognise him? Well, how could you not? You don't forget your only high school love. Mr. Kaijou High himself. The high school's heartthrob. Legends say that ever since Kise graduated, no one has been able to beat his handsome appearance. Kise truly was Mr. Kaijou High.

From day one of being friends in your second year, you two have talked constantly and have become so comfortable with each other that your fellow classmates would've believed it if you two got married in the future. It was the little moments of him playing with your hands during the morning classes, to him looking at you ever so fondly instead of listening while you taught him chemistry over and over again, to him buying you small cakes weekly, amongst other acts of sweetness, were the ones that convinced the school crowd you have fated a long happy life together.

Maybe it was his career that made it harder to connect to him. It wasn't his passion for basketball for sure, you enjoyed and cheered on for him, often losing your voice the next day. The life of a model is difficult in this day and age. Privacy is difficult to maintain. 

"I can't sacrifice your safety for my modelling career, I'm sorry."  He was doing so well after all, how could you not let the sun shine its brightest? You both agreed that for you two to thrive well in your own lives, well, you had to be on your own. Both of you. So close. So close from that win. Although you two are satisfied with the other wins in your lives. He's still a super successful model, and you were living an easier life and have achieved your dream career with a stable income.

You look at him again. He's finally walking towards you, probably because you stopped responding to his voice. That better had been a fast trip down memory lane, it'd be silly of me, and embarrassing, if I just stared off into space for so long and freaked him out so much he had to stop his hide and seek. It would've been funny though hahah.

And there he is, standing in front of you. You blink a few times at the man standing in front of you, pouting, mumbling something about you zoning out for too long. Seeing him for the first time again... Feeling your heart beat faster and remembering the thrilling experience of being with him, you stood up as quickly as possible. Each step feeling light as ever. There he is. Your first love. No way. I miss him so much! Everything in life feels so much easier, as if you two were back in high school again. Not only has the clocked rewind back in time, it also stopped.

He feels it too. That magic. He couldn't even speak, the magic must've cast a silencing spell on him. And finally reaching out, you wrap your arms around his neck and pull him for the most long-awaited hug of the century. This feels right. Everything feels right. He's here, in my arms, just like it was back then. He wraps his arms around your waist, leaning forward gently to make it easier for you to reach the ground. As for your mind, it was in the clouds, along with his.

After a while, he pulls back. As much as you would love to keep at it, you haven't really seen his face properly. But it seems that he had the idea come in faster, as he is now holding your cheeks in his hands, squishing them. Just like back then... Kind of embarrassing, really... Ah wait, we're in publi-

He pulls you in for a kiss. An experience you haven't shared with him, until now.

"I-I bet your heart's racing, and skipping beats, and doing all types of acrobatics right now" Even if you two knew you liked each other, I'm trying not to show you ugh. But at this rate, we might as well go to a clinic and get my heart checked out from how intense this beating is. Wow...

"Wow..." was all you could say. And it was his turn to join the cardiac Olympics. 

Without sugarcoating it, both of you are a complete mess. You two nodded at each other every few seconds, unable to say anything else. You and Kise, quiet? Today has been a day for new things, but this one is really new. Says a lot. But to aid your excitements, you two looked at each other and spoke simultaneously.

"So it has been a while." You two giggle, feeling youthful as ever.

"Quite a long one too."

author's note: my good god, it has been a while indeed! recently, I was reminded of my wattpad account by a close one and when i went to take a look, i realised that my fics were so cringey BUT it brought me a lot of joy to write, AND i missed kise sm lolol. and i also noticed that people still read and interact with these oneshots from time to time and i am forever grateful that you were able to appreciate my cheesy oneshots. as of this year, i have already started university and therefore already graduated from high school. and being reminded that i really loved kise way back when, made me miss him lots. he was one of my all time anime crushes after all. <3 

that's really all for now, i'm not sure if i was still able to write his character correctly (let me know weee), but i wrote my best! and had a good time! though it has been a while, i'm not sure if my tenses are consistent lolol. please take care of yourselves, and stay healthy and safe. <3 ok i'm going to stop typing and hit publish and not check it anymore (lol i have exams to prepare for, oops) ok ok bye bye
