The worst thing could ever happened to you was when some classmates of yours asked one simple question and you gave the wrong answer.
"Ne ne, (First Name)-chan! You like Kuroko, right?"
"U-Um..."
"Woo hoo~! Someone's blushing!"
"No, I don't like him at all." you said with a deadpan face as you waved your hand in front of you.
"Haha! Don't hide your feelings! We know that you've been dreaming about him~ There's one time when you slept in class and you were calling out for him~" one of them cooed.
"No such thing!" you shouted.
"C'mon~ Admit it and we'll get you two together~" another nudged your shoulders.
"Okay, let me get this clear. I do not like that invisible-looking guy with no emotions at all." you said.
Then there was silence. Everybody gasped as they were looking at someone behind you.
It was Kuroko.
"I didn't know you felt that way about me, (First Name)-chan."
--
You know you weren't honest with your feelings and you felt really guilty.
'Why did I even say that?!' you screamed in your mind as you ruffled your hair in frustration.
You sighed and decided to skip the remaining classes, which was (Least Favourite Subject/s), in the infirmary.
You slid open the door, the teacher wasn't there.
'Lucky!' you pumped your fist into the air.
You threw yourself onto the bed, made yourself comfortable and yanked the blanket over your head.
Then, you heard the door being slid opened.
You sighed, "Hai hai, sensei~ I'm gonna head out as soon as possible so don't tell my homeroom teacher~"
As soon as you got up, a light blue-haired male stood in front of you with blank eyes.
"K-Kuroko?"
"(First Name)-chan? Why are you here?"
"Um... y'know... just skippin'..." you laughed nervously.
He simply nodded.
After a short silence, the words you had said about him came through your mind.
"O-Oh, Kuroko? About earlier...."
"You don't have to mind it. I understand." his expression drooped.
"N-No... I just w-want to apologize... 'Cause when it come to these kind of things, I'm not honest with it so yeah..." you rubbed the back of your head awkwardly.
He closed his eyes and smiled, "I'm relieved to hear that, I thought you hated me."
"N-No way! I will n-never hate you because-!" you clasped your mouth shut, not wanting to say out the embarrassing word.
"Hm? Because of what?" Kuroko questioned, tilting his head in confusion.
"U-Um..." you fiddled with your thumbs, not knowing what to say.
"Well you know, (First Name)-chan? To be very honest about my feelings, at the very first time we met when Coach introduced you to us to be out manager, my heart was thumping really fast and at that time I do not know why, until now."
Kuroko walked towards you and bent his knees so that he's at your eye level, "I love you, (First Name)-chan." he smiled and patted your head.
"M-Me too..." you blurted out.
