Silently Pining

Knock it Off!

Terushima chuckled, remembering the events of last night.

Hana had an irk mark appear on her forehead. "I know what that chuckle is for, Terushima. I can't believe you couldn't go one day without doing that!" She hit the boy.

You flinched, looking at the others who had just walked into the room. "Good morning, everyone."

A few said good morning back, most being too tired to give a reply.

"Can Y/n even walk, Terushima?" Hana kept laying into him, ignoring the others in the room.

"Uh, what's going on?" Yukie approached you three.

You awkwardly look at everyone else. "Oh, just the normal Johzenji things."

Terushima huffed. "You're making a scene, Hana."

"I don't care! You're the idiot that can't keep it in your pants for one night!" Hana's face was turning red from how angry she was getting.

Many of the guys dropped their jaws, shock filling the crowd.

"I'm sorry, what?!" Yukie gasped.

Oikawa looked on in disbelief. "So Terushima and his girlfriend fucked?!"

You turn bright red, looking away from the crowd. "Can we please not talk about this?"

Hana turned to you, finally noticing the others in the room. "Oh my god! Y/n, I'm so sorry!"

Terushima grinned. "Don't act like you don't like it, baby."

"Yuji!"

Hana smacked him. "Terushima! Knock it off! You're embarrassing your own girlfriend!"

"Please, both of you, just shut up." You bury your face in your hands.

Kenma looked at you with a pitying expression, feeling bad for you at the moment. Then he thought back to what he witnessed last night, his own face heating up.

Akaashi sighed, sitting beside you. "Are you ok?"

You look at him, tears in your eyes. "I can't stand and Yuji had to carry me."

Silence took hold of the room.

"Terushima, you piece of shit! One night! Just go one night without fucking Y/n!"

And, once again, Hana starts hitting Terushima. Everyone just watches as the captain starts getting the shit beat out of him by the older manager. You sigh, watching the normal interaction between the two unfold.

Your cousin gently places an arm on your shoulder, whispering into your ear. "Are you sure you're ok with him doing that? What about what happened the last time you were in Tokyo?"

You whisper back to the boy. "It's fine. It's nothing like that time. And I still can't believe police showed up at the right time."

Akaashi thought back to something that was said yesterday. "What if someone saw it and contacted the police?"

You froze. "Someone could've seen it?"

Akaashi shrugged. "It's just a guess."

"Then I owe my life to whoever saw it and saved me. They saved my life, and I owe it to them. They're my hero."

Akaashi smiled, knowing that he probably just connected some dots. "Then maybe you should leave Terushima. I think the person that saved you would be happier to see that."

You sigh. "I wouldn't know unless that person knows me and Yuji."

"And if he does?"

"You're assuming it's a guy?"

He raised his hands in defense. "Just making an educated guess."

"What do you mean?"

Before he could give you an answer, Terushima was in your lap. He was holding onto you, as if his life depended on it.

"Yuji?"

"Save me from Hana, baby!"

Hana looked ready to kill the boy. "Give him to me. It seems he still hasn't learned his lesson."

You gulp, a drop of sweat rolling down your face. "Hana-san, maybe you should take it easy. Too much stress isn't good for you."

She took a deep breath. "I wouldn't have so much stress if Terushima would just behave himself."

"Yuji, maybe you should listen to Hana and stop making her mad. Maybe you should just behave yourself while we're with everyone else."

Terushima pouted. "But I like fucking your brains out."

"Yuji!"

"You like it too!"

You look at Hana. "I claim to not know this man. You have permission to do as you please."

Hana grabbed the boy, pulling him off of you. "TERUSHIMA! YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

Terushima got out of her grasp and ran away. Hana was hot on his heels.

The boy begged for you to help him. "Baby! Help me!"

You don't even look at him. "You're on your own. I agree with Hana-san. You went too far this time. I wasn't comfortable talking about that, so you deserve her wrath."

Kenma smiled, sitting on your other side. "He really shouldn't have said anything. You've been through enough, you don't need that in your life."

You didn't understand how deep the meaning of that went. "Thanks. How's your face by the way? Does it feel better than yesterday?"

He nods. "Yes, it's much better. Thank you for asking."

You smile at the boy. "I'm sorry he hit you yesterday. The least I can do is let Hana get revenge today."

Everyone else was watching Hana chased Terushima around the place, amused looks on many of their faces.

"TERUSHIMA! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

"Please don't kill me, Hana!"

Kenma, however, was focused on you. He watched your every move, seeing the changes of expression on your face. Everything about you was the same as he remembered from the day he saved you in the park 4 years ago.

You hadn't noticed that anyone was paying attention to you. You were focused on watching Hana chase Terushima around, waiting to see what will happen when she catches him.

Akaashi noticed Kenma looking at you. A small smile spread on your cousin's lips as he fully connected the dots. He realized that Kenma saved you that say and that Kenma grew to have a crush on you. Ever since yesterday, Akaashi noticed that Kenma has been trying to look out for your best interests. He wants to help you live a good life.

And Akaashi was happy. He hoped that things would change for the better. And maybe, just maybe, Kenma would help you live the life you deserve.

He'd treat you right and love you for all of eternity.
