Shigeo was right.. graduation was coming up, which was a big worry for her.

"Once graduation is done, all of us will move in another apartment and find an actual school suitable for you and your education-

It's for the better."

She never had the chance to go against it since she was aware that they'll never take it as a serious thing and only care about what they decided for her.

"What if he rejects me, then all my feelings will be right in the dump." She sighed looking at him, "And what's worse is no one can comfort me from a heartbreak since I don't have any actual friends."

"Then I'll be your friend, I'll be there to comfort you when you get rejected by my brother." He smiled, Y/N felt grateful that someone will go out of their way just for her.

"Thank you.. but are you sure? Don't you have a job with that guy?" She thought about that piss-colored hair dude that was always with him.

"Hmm, then I'll grab your number. We'll hangout in his office if I don't have anything that takes too much time." He pulled out his phone and gave it to her.

She smiled and grabbed it, both exchanging numbers. "Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.."

"Ritsu!"

It was the end of the day, only both of them were in the classroom. "Can we walk home together? I have to tell you something."

He just chuckled, "We always walk together. You don't have to ask me everytime."

It was awkward, neither of us was talking.

My throat felt like it had a lump inside making me not spit out anything I was planning to say.

I've already practiced all my lines in my head and infront of the mirror and infront of my phone and I always nail it, but why can't I say it now?

"Uh.. Ritsu-"

"F/N! I already know what you're gonna say, and I'm sorry-

I can't return my feelings since I've only seen you as a dear friend, and I hope it stays that way after this."

Crack.

"Your body language was really different which lead me to think you had feelings for me, and I feel bad! Because.. I don't feel the same way, I always hoped I did instead of breaking your heart.." I looked at him and saw his eyes closed shut, his fists closed and he stood stiff.

"I..It's fine, Ritsu."

Crack.

"I just.. had to get it off my chest, I never actually thought we would end up together." I always wished we did.

I started walking again, "Well.. I think I'll go alone for now, see you at school tomorrow. Kageyama."

Crack.

Shigeo!

Shigeo: How did it go?

Shigeo: Did he say he liked you back..?

He rejected me. :You

He knew in the first place and got straight to the point and said he knew I liked him. :You

It'll be very awkward tomorrow. :You
