Kenma's POV

I kept my head bowed, not wanting to make an eye contact with him. We walked together slowly on the fallen ginkgo leaves scattered on the ground, savoring the feeling of the autumn air.

“Oi, Kenma.” Kuroo said, stopping his tracks and facing me. I slowly lifted my head up, my eyes was welcomed by his bright smile, holding up a white diamond ring.

I gasped in shock, but then eventually smiled...

He's finally proposing to Tsukishima.

“Do you think he'll like it?” he asked, staring at the ring. “Yeah. Tsukishima will love it, Kuroo.” I replied, trying my best to maintain my usual voice. Even though deep inside, I just want to cry.

“So from now on you'll permanently live in Miyagi?” I asked, even though I already know the answer.

“Yeah. That's what Kei wants, for us to settle in Miyagi.”

“B-but you'll come back here in Tokyo the next autumn, right?”

“Mhm.” He started walking, while I didn't move. There was an awkward silence, and in every second I'm suffering. Tears are already forming in the corner of my eyes, making my vision blur.

I wish I was him, I wish it was me...

Tears are already dropping, wetting the ground. He stopped walking and looked back at me.

“K-kenma...”

“I'm sorry.”

Was all he said. I looked up to him, showing the biggest smile I can.

“I-I'm happy for you Kuroo.” my voice cracked. “Please don't forget w-what we had. Even if y-you have Tsukishima now, please don't forget that there was once an 'us'...”
I said between sobs, struggling to form words.

"I... I won't, Kenma.”

With that one answer, my heart was relieved. His voice was stern and serious.
He still don't fail to give me butterflies in his simple actions.

“Kenma, I have to go now.”

He walked closer, pulling me to a hug. I shed tears more, I don't want him to go...

“Arigatō, Kenma. Sayonara.”

I felt so empty when he pulled back, it's like a big part of me is missing. I big part of me that I really need. Seeing him walk away is torture, every step he take was knives continuing to struck my heart.

I can't wait for the next autumn to come...
