A month had passed since the breakup, and both Tsukishima and I had been doing our best to ignore each other and move on. It wasn't easy, but I was slowly getting used to the idea of being on my own. My focus had shifted to school, ice skating, and spending time with my friends.

One day, Lily practically begged me to come to a party with her. "You need to get out, Blackfire. It'll be fun, I promise," she insisted.

Reluctantly, I agreed. Maybe a party was what I needed to clear my mind and have some fun. We got ready together, picking out our outfits and doing our makeup. By the time we left, I felt a bit more excited about the night ahead.

The party was in full swing when we arrived. Music blared, and people were dancing and chatting everywhere. As we made our way through the crowd, I spotted Kuroo and Kenma. We joined them, and soon we were all talking and laughing, enjoying the lively atmosphere.

After a while, Kuroo suggested we go for a walk to get some fresh air. "Come on, Blackfire. Let's take a break from the noise," he said, leading me outside.

We walked in silence for a bit, the cool night air a welcome contrast to the stuffy party. Kuroo seemed lost in thought, and I wondered what was on his mind. Eventually, he broke the silence.

"Blackfire, there's something I need to tell you," he began, his voice serious. "I have feelings for you."

I stopped in my tracks, shocked. "What? Kuroo, why are you telling me this now?"

He looked down, shuffling his feet. "I've been thinking about it for a while. I know you still have feelings for Tsukishima, but I couldn't keep it to myself any longer."

Anger and confusion welled up inside me. "Why now, Kuroo? You know how complicated things are."

He sighed. "I know, and I'm sorry. But I needed to be honest with you. I didn't want to keep pretending that everything was normal."

I didn't know what to say. Part of me was flattered, but another part was furious. How could he choose this moment to confess his feelings? "I need some time to think about this," I said finally.

We walked back to the party in silence. My mind was racing, trying to process everything. As we entered the house, I looked around and saw Tsukishima dancing with another girl. My heart sank. He had moved on so quickly, and seeing him with someone else was like a punch to the gut.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I couldn't stay there any longer. I ran out of the party, the tears streaming down my face. I felt heartbroken and utterly lost.

Why did everything have to be so complicated?
