THE REST OF THE EVENING FLEW BY, and it was already nighttime; the cotton candy-like clouds were covering the moon, the leaves dancing smoothly with the soft, chilly wind, the ducks moving in rhythm and sync with their babies in the crystal clear lake. the night was perfect with only the faint sound of the swings moving along with the cold air. however, the female forgot for a second that kuroo was still there, which means chaos would start at any moment now. and that was proven right once he started throwing random pickup lines at her. she didn't get too annoyed since guilt was still eating him up. and the last thing she wanted to see was his frown again. that's why she just laughed at his sly comments and even came back with better ones.

after a while of kuroo's endless teasing, y/n's faint smile dropped once she remembered kiyoko's words. bokuto was really popular, and all girls would die to be with him. if she doesn't make a step further and let him know about her feelings, it's gonna be over. she would lose him forever without having another chance to tell him all the secrets she held in her heart. it was really hard for her to express her feelings, but at the same time, letting him go was even harder, beyond words. how much she wanted to tell him that she loved him. it was really painful, the feeling of keeping secrets for so long without letting them out.

kuroo noticed the grim look on her face, he instantly came to a conclusion that it was something about bokuto since she was too easy to read. he slowly reached to rub her shoulders, which made her quickly snap out of her thoughts and look up at him with a confused look.

"you're thinking about him, aren't you?"
the black haired guy flashed her a cheeky smile, causing her to flinch and shake her head multiple times.

"w-why would i think about that doofus? i was just worried about exams, that's all."
y/n played with the strings of her sweater as she pursed her lips. kuroo sighed and shook his head at her stubbornness.

"you're the doofus here, we all know how you feel towards that owl. i know it's not easy for you since you're a big tsun-tsun, but, you can always do it your way, you know how ko is-"

"i will never do it, okay?!"
kuroo was interrupted when she stood up from the bench and looked down at him.

"these feelings of mine will stay locked here, forever."
her eyebrows furrowed as she pointed at her heartheart. tears started forming in the corner of her eyes but she was quick to wipe them off. she hated herself for being this way, it felt like a thick layer was covering her heart and preventing her from speaking out.

"you're just hurting yourself like that, can you stop being stubborn for a second?"
the black haired guy furrowed his eyebrows as he spoke in a low tone. for some reason, pointing it out made her click her tongue and grab his shirt collar, pulling him closer to her face.

"this.is.me, and I'm not gonna change myself. you have to understand that not all people are the same, some can easily say anything, anytime without a single problem, but some prefer to stay quiet. i could never tell kotaro about my feelings, no matter how much i tried to speak, i can't!"
y/n's emotions were all over the place, her grip on kuroo's shirt got tighter each time a word escapes her mouth. he on the other hand, was speechless.
