Your Dark Stars - Highschool K/DA x Male Reader

075 - C'est la vie

Today feels darker, it feels almost like the life was sucked out of it before I even had a chance to go to school. Kai'Sa wasn't waiting for me in the lobby and I went to school on my own - it already felt like I was long gone.

Alone.

I didn't get a chance to tell either of them, I don't want to do it over the phone and I'd rather just disappoint them in person. What better place to just do it than at music class? Maybe Michelle will just make it all the more bearable with one of her jokes.

Hell maybe her making fun of me might just change my perspective, she is a realist after all. I almost feel like asking her for advice... but I know that is the worst idea. She would just laugh at me and ask why am I fussing.

It isn't like I would stop being their friends.

I only sigh to see both Akali and Kai'Sa hanging out near the gates, I try to slap on a smile but it just fails. I hover in place working on it for a bit just to make it a little more believable but it is like swimming against a waterfall. 

My mood is ruined.

I walk up to the two of them, "Hey... you two."

Kai'Sa smiles at me, "Sorry. Dad dropped me off because I had to go with him to pick up something- are you okay?" her smile instantly fades and it is just piling on my own despair.

Akali tilts her head, "You... look like you were crying..."

I shake my head, "Not crying. Just... angry I guess. Talk about it after school. With the rest of the group?"

Kai'Sa walks forward, "We can. I'll swing by the music class," she then asks, "Do you need a hug?"

I only nod, she steps forward giving me a tight and warm hug. Akali looks almost uncertain of what to do, she just looks worried... just like the day I tried to stop her from running away. It is chipping at my mind.

"Akali," I gesture for her to come here.

"Nothing bad, right?" she asks carefully.

Kai'Sa stops her, "We can figure it out later. Okay?"

She quickly steps forward to give me a hug, it lasts longer than Kai'Sa's but I can tell it just made her day even worse. We hover around trying to make conversation but it dies out mainly due to the worry.

I wish I was good at hiding it.

Ahri and Evelynn then finally pull up, "Hey guys," Ahri sings, "Why do you three look down?"

"Tell you about it after school," I state, "Morning."

Evelynn looks just like me, "Morning."

Ahri then looks at her, "Guess everyone has been having a bad day today," she sighs, "Well, I don't think I can do much about that. Feelnig a bit under the weather myself."

"You are pretty good at hiding it," Akali says with a slight smile.

"Had a lot of practice," she smiles, her attitude somehow making it a bit easier to deal with.

She then purses her lips, "World isn't going to end any time soon, let's enjoy what we can one step at a time," Kai'Sa then shares a smile with her.

"Unless it actually does end."

"We might have enough dread between the five of us to bring a doomsday."

"Almost," I joke, "Just need a little bit more."

"Oh, I can do a little bit more," she then gestures for us to start heading through the gates.

Although the mood is a tad bit better, Evelynn is incredibly silent. She hasn't even tried to say anything - I can't help but wonder what is on her mind and that alone helped me just forget about my own problems even for a little bit.
