!!ANIME+MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD!!
A warm smile, gray hair, and compassionate blue eyes. There was a refreshing breeze that swept away the remaining humidity left by the thunderstorm, and you found yourself immersed in his face again. You two stood face to face on Furin's rooftop, But what could have possibly lead to this situation?
Y/N L/N, a girl known for her agility while fighting. She wasn't very strong physically, but she beats most of her opponents dodging all their attacks until they run out of stamina. Then there's Hajime Umemiya, the man you just couldn't tolerate. You went to the same middle school where he befriended you for your strength and personality, but for some reason you just couldn't have him around you. Maybe it's the fact that he's always optimistic, or his kind demeanor, or maybe the fact you found him to be kind of cute. Regardless, his company wasn't good for you! The way you got butterflies in your stomach or the fact you couldn't form proper sentences around this man truly bothered you. It got to the point where it was starting to become aggravating.
Besides, he was too good for you anyways. He deserved to have someone that was just as kind and strong stand beside him and support him. You knew he wouldn't leave you alone if you asked, so you did the only thing you could think of: join Shishitoren, the rival school of Furin.
It's been 3 years since then, and you found yourself as third strongest there right under Choji Tomiyama and Jo Togame. Although, now looking back on your decision, you felt regret. You'll never forget Hajime's face when he saw you wearing the Shishitoren uniform at a brawl. His gaze softened, and his eyes went cloudy as you two made eye contact that night. It was the first and last time you ever saw him look that way. Sadly, it was too late for you to turn back and all you could do was push forward to be stronger. And now, Shishitoren is a shithole. Your leader Choji decided through his twisted lens, that only the strongest belonged. Jo who couldn't bear to see his light (Choji) turn dark,  decided to do all the dirty work and started beating on members in his place. All you could do was watch from the sidelines, like the coward you were. The coward who betrayed and hurt the person she loved, and now a coward who couldn't even fight for justice. You knew it was wrong, but you were no match for Choji and Jo, as they're beasts in their own league.
Due to a series of events, that somehow ended up with Shishitoren and Furin brawling, and Furin winning, the two schools united, and of course it was his idea. He somehow convinced you to chat with him at Furin, and now this leads you back to the present: gazing into Hajime's face.
After 3 years, he had somehow gotten even more gorgeous. He grew much taller, but his height wasn't the only thing bigger. He had gotten much stronger, and you could simply tell by looking at his defined forearms. All you could do was stare at him, you had nothing to say.
"Long time to see Y/n!" he says with a goofy grin. Why was he even talking to you?
You abandoned him 3 years ago.
"So, how have you been?" he asks just as casually.
"...." no words came out your mouth.
Maybe it was the never-ending guilt that had been eating you alive for the past 3 years, or maybe it was because you were irrevocably in love with him, that hot tears streamed down your face.
"Please leave me alone Hajime." was all you could muster. God you physically couldn't bring yourself to hate this man, and you hated that. He was a kind leader who clearly deserved better than you. You two just weren't compatible. His comforting presence felt invasive to you, as you were so used to being alone. You started to walk away until he grabbed your wrist. You tried to let go but his hold was just too firm. You cursed his fantastic physique in your head and turned around.
"What?!" you scoffed.
"Let's talk."
Hajime dragged you to his sofa and you both sat down.
"Why did you join Shishitoren?" he asked.
After a few minutes of silence, you finally mustered the courage to answer. He deserved an explanation.
"I don't deserve to stand by your side." You replied in a monotone voice, avoiding your gaze from his.
He grabbed your face and forced you to look at him, causing you to jump in your seat.
"Why would you ever think that? Don't you know I love you?" His voice was stern, and his brows furrowed. This was another first: Hajime was angry!
Wait, who cares if he's angry? Did he just say he loved you?
Your eyes widened and you paused.
Hajime Umemiya loves you.
Not loved, loves, he still does.
You felt more tears streaming down your face, but this time it was out of relief: Hajime had never hated you.
"But how? How could you love me? I betrayed you!"
"Not anymore. Shishitoren and Furin are allies now" he answered, his signature grin returning to his face.
Seriously, this man was too kind for his own good.
"Hajime, I love you too but I can't just let you forgive me so easily. Don't you want revenge?"
"Yeah, I do. Close your eyes."
You shut your eyes and braced yourself. You assumed he would smack some sense into your head, bur instead you felt a soft sensation on your lips. You opened your eyes and found Hajime Umemiya kissing you. You kissed him back and when it finally ended, everything felt in place again.
"Nobody deserves to be by my side Y/N. I'm no king, so please stop saying stupid things like that." He patted you on the head, and you two sat together on that couch for a while.
