15: Kenma Kozume - Honeymoon Period

Requested by: lav_ile

 I walked home feeling sad and lonely, despite having spent the entirety of my day with him. Kenma Kozume was my boyfriend, and we had been together for about four months. At first I was head over heels for him, wanting to be with him all the time and just being in his presence was enough to satisfy me. We'd hang out all the time, we were able to hold constant conversations which Kuroo admitted was quite impressive, but now it seemed as though all that had ran through my fingertips like sand.

My friends told me it was the end of the 'honeymoon period'. I wondered whether this was true, and on Kenma's part it seemed to be. I had spent all day with him today, however I was simply sat on his bed whilst he had his face glued to his two monitors, and even had his headphones on. The sound of the clicking keyboard was driving me mad towards the end, so I made up an excuse and left early.

I loved playing games, just like he did, and that was one of the many things we bonded over but now he seemed not to care. He never used to wear headphones, or ignore me at all whilst playing. We'd play together a lot as well as a team, but that didn't happen anymore. Now, each time he played he'd have his headphones on, he'd be talking to people across the globe and not even care that I was in the room.

When we first started going out I never expected this to happen. He admitted to me being his first girlfriend, and that he hoped he'd be okay. I remember this making me smile and assuring him he would be, but now that seemed not to be the case.

- Timeskip -

My loneliness increased as the weeks went on. It was almost as if I was just a mere acquaintance to him now, as he'd rarely even respond to my texts. It wasn't as if I was asking him to give up gaming, nor message me constantly but he was my boyfriend and just a little bit of attention or at least acknowledgement would be appreciated.

"(y/n)?" My best friend Yukiko woke me up from my endless thoughts as we sat in the classroom during break. "Be honest with me... are you okay?"

"No," I said after a pause. "Kenma's acting as though we're not even together. He doesn't give a damn anymore."

"Have you tried telling him how you feel?" She asked and I sighed.

"I've tried but I couldn't even get a word out before he wafted me away and turned back to his video games," I said. "We used to play together all the time, and we'd make time to be together but now it's just.... It's like we're just acquaintances... not even friends, just acquaintances."

"This... this is bad (y/n)," she said and I nodded, feeling a pang in my heart.

"It's like he doesn't even care about me. And I'm not pleading for his attention all the time, but we're a couple now, and if there's no communication then what's the point?"

"What are you gonna do?" She asked and I shrugged.

"I don't know. I love him, I do but I can't keep being shunned like this... I'll wait before I do anything drastic. I'll try to confront him about it again," I said, not wanting to do anything without having the chance to speak to him about the situation. Yukiko agreed that that was probably the best idea and together we planned what I was going to say to him.

I was due to go to Kenma's that evening after volleyball practice, so as usual I waited outside the gym for him. Once he and the team emerged they greeted me with smiles I reciprocated. When Kenma approached me he said a simple hello before reaching into his bag and pulling out his portable playstation. I was shocked at his action, him not even hugging or kissing me like he used to.
