After what felt like the best meal I've had Kenma quietly washes the dishes.

It seams something is off. I go near him and rest my hands on his shoulders.
"Is something wrong?" I ask gently.

He dries his hands with the cloth previously used for the freshly cleaned dishes and turns around with a sigh.

His hands settle around my waist. "Look, I want you to know that I care about you a lot and I think I might be falling in love with you." He looks me in the eyes and ponders about his next words.

His gaze returned elsewhere and his voice came out softer. "I need a break from you, just to get my shit together and figure out a few stuff. Is that ok?"

I nod.

His hands now wrap around my back and mine around his neck. My head buried on his shoulder and his in mine.
This hug didn't hurt. It was comforting, calming, tender.

I notice now that I did already fall in love with him. I'll give him the space he needs, I'll wait, I'll be ready for his return.

After some minutes we let go. I grab my things, leaving the necklace behind, and he opens his apartment door for me to leave.

As I walk out, I hear a faint "Goodbye." coming into my ears.
This goodbye didn't hurt.

"Bye. I'll wait." I assure him. He smiles gratefully and shuts the door close.

His goodbye wasn't harsh, unfeeling or bleak. Instead, I thought it was hopeful and optimistic, in a way. It wasn't a goodbye as in we'll never meet again, it felt more like a promise that we will be together again, for a long time.

I'm upset I won't be with him for a while, but I don't mind it too much. I know it's what he thinks is best and it's what he needs.

So now he's taught me the second thing: goodbyes aren't always sad and mournful, they can just mean a new and improved beginning.

I had to take the bus back home. As I sat by the window, I see raindrops running down the not so clean glass. I see the most weird kind of people - in a good way.
Some of them are in groups, but they're mostly alone. Everyone is so different, yet so similar.

I feel the same way towards all these people. I can only see the diferences they have in their sense of
fashion and appearance. I know nothing else about them, just like they know nothing else about me.

This feeling comforts me at the same time that it saddens me. We're distant which is sad, but it's for the best because this was there's no chances of getting hurt. A safe distance.

The bus finally stops in my stop.

As soon as I step out of the bus I regret not bringing an umbrella.
I don't really mind the rain. It is cold but calm, refreshing and light. I like it, but I'll get sick just from walking from the bus stop to my apartment.

I don't think it has poured this much this year yet.

I feel the small icy drops touch my face one by one until my face is covered in water. I feel them attach to my coat and, little by little, infiltrate their way to my skin, leaving me freezing and uncomfortable. Yet, I don't mind them. They feel good, somehow.

After 5 long minutes of getting shelter from building balconies, I arrive home.

I look around.
It's not a mess, that's odd.

I owe Kuroo one.

Four days have gone by since me and Kenma last talked.

My doorbell rings. I open the door to see Kuroo standing outside my apartment.

"Y/n. Why haven't I seen you around our apartment? Why aren't you with Kenma? I thought you two had something."

"Dude, chill. It's not a big deal. Why do you care anyways?"

"I just care." He says with his eyes open and his hands on my shoulders, shaking me every once in a while.
"Now answer my questions, please."

"Okay, okay. Can't you just ask Kenma or something? You two are like besties, didn't he tell you anything?"

"Kenma is very closed off. Now spit it out!"

"He said he needed a break from me, to get his shit together. So now I'm just waiting and also getting my shit together, I guess."

"So you two are going to get back together right?"

"Yeah, I think so."

He lets out a sigh of relief.
"Why would he need a break from you?" He asked absent minded.

"How would I know?"

"Wanna watch a movie, now that I'm here? I can order some food." He suggests.

"Sure, I'm pretty bored at moment."
