To the person that I told that I would write fluff next, I'm sorry I lied.

Shizuairi angst.

Airi POV:

I've had a crush on Shizuku now for a while now. I was going to confess to her yesterday but she said she wanted to talk to me about something important. I understand but it feels like I'm holding so much weight in my chest. I just want her to know how I feel already. I want my weight to be lifted. It's so heavy I feel that I can barley stand without my chest aching.

She had asked me to meet her at the park so, I did. Tenma-san was there too. They were being a bit too touchy for my liking but I hadn't even confessed to Shizuku at that point so it didn't matter.

"Airi-chan!" Shizuku yelled as she waved at me.

"Hey!" I yelled back.

I get over there and hug her tight. I was really excited to see her. I was still confused why Tenma-san was there though.

"You know how I said I wanted to tell you something?" Shizuku asks. Her (insanely attractive) voice snaps me out of my trance.

"Ah, yea?" I reply.

"Well, me and Tsukasa-kun are dating!" She says happily while holding Tenma-sans hand.

"Ah, congratulations!! Hehe!" I say confidently with a small giggle at the end. I want to say I was completely fine, but inside it felt like I was being ripped apart. It felt as if more weights had been added on my heart. It felt as if I could faint or pass out at any second. I felt sick.

"Hehe!" She giggles back to me. Snapping me out of the trance I was just in.

"How long have you guys been dating for??" I ask trying to sound curious, I was really jealous though.

"Ah, about 2 years." Tenma-san replies.

"Haaaa?! 2 years and you didn't tell me!?" I shout.

"Hehe! Sorry Airi-chan. Tsukasa-kun wasn't comfortable with telling others. I had to beg him to let me tell you." She responds.

"Hmmm, alright. Well, I have to get going now. Have a good rest of ur day guys!!" I yell as I leave. I see the two waving at me as they look at each other and go in for a kiss. I look away to save myself the pain.

- At home -

I got home and just started bawling my eyes out. I was sad, and angry. My chest was being torn into so many small pieces at this point and I didn't know what to do.

'What does he have that I don't?!' I ask myself angrily. Physical things aside, we're practically the same person! The loud voice, the booming confidence. What do I need to change?!

I got mad at myself for not seeing this earlier.

I'm surrounded by couples. People who got lucky with the love draw.

Rui and Touya.

Mafuyu and Emu.

Mizuki and Ena.

Why does it have to be me?! Why do I have to be the odd one out.

With just the most perfect timing, Rui calls.

-Hey! Are you okay? -
He asks.
-Yea I'm fine! Why do you ask? -
I respond, trying to cover up who I was just seconds ago.
-I heard that Tsukasa-kun and Shizuku-kun were dating and I wanted to make sure you were ok. -
He responds.
-Well, a little bit of heartbreak but I'll be fine. -
I reply, really trying to convince him. Sure I've seen him cry before. I've comforted him before. But I find it embarrassing whenever he sees me cry.
-If you say so, I have to go now but Fufu says that she's free to chat if you want someone to talk to. -
He tells me.
-Alright, see you Rui! -
I say.
-Bye Airi! -
He responds as he hangs up.
