Part 2/2
"I like you, not Reo. Why would you change yourself?"
.☘︎ ݁˖
NAGI COULDN'T SLEEP, even though he told himself again and again you'd be fine but that text you sent him... It wasn't like you, he missed you. His room was dark as the outside world was also a pitch black. The pale moonlight peaks through his curtains, as his phone lit up his room even more. He was staring at the text message, lying on his back alone as he stared up at his phone letting it burn his eyes and engrave the words into his mind. The way it was such a simple text yet it felt like it had an eerie meaning behind it. Like he did something wrong, and the way his body was yelling at him to apologize even though he didn't know what to apologize for. Did he do something wrong perhaps?.. His face scrunched up before he lets out a soft sigh.
His body listened to his thoughts mindlessly, standing up and flicking the lights on in his room. Changing into thicker clothes to go out with and stuffing his phone and keys into his pocket before saying a small goodbye to Choki. Then leaving his apartment on the way to find you.
God, what was he doing? Reality slowly hits him once the cold wind brushes against his face. Waking him up more as his legs continued to walk towards your house. He would've seen you in the morning at school anyways... Why was he so desperate to see you now? Before he knew it, he was already in front of your house. His plan was not fool proof, not at all. You could be sleeping for all he knows, he could've been disturbing your parents if they were home even. Your house lights are all off too, he should just turn back now. But his heart tugged at him to not.
He knocked on the door a couple times, waiting for a response yet he didn't get one. Nagi then stood there awkwardly before pulling out his phone to call you. The sudden vibration of your phone next to you made you slowly wake up. You had fallen asleep before you knew it, the once orange sky was now filled with stars. How long were you asleep for?..
You groaned, picking your phone up and accepting the call. Putting it on speaker as you rubbed your eyes. "Hello?-"
"Y/n, open the door. Please." Hearing Nagi's voice made you pause, he was here?..
Quickly sitting up still trying to collect your thoughts you hesitated before answering him. The reason why you fell asleep till now, the reason why you were crying till now was at your doorstep.
"Yeah.. Just stay there." You mumbled, hanging up before shifting to sit on the edge of your bed. Your hands reaching for your face as you covered it, groaning as you massaged your forehead. It hurts, the thoughts from before slowly coming back whenever you thought of Nagi. It also hurts even more in your heart, the thought of him also made you want to see him. Managing to push yourself off your bed you slowly made your way downstairs.
The house was silent, your parents seem to be working late tonight as you could only hear your footsteps along the floor and the fast beating of your heart. The anticipation of seeing him made your adrenaline spike up, shaking as you reached the front door and unlocked it. You opened it, gripping the doorknob hard as you came face to face with him. You felt the wind blow past you two, it brushes his hair for a moment as it reminded you of how much you liked him.
"Seishiro?" You felt his hand grasp your free one, making you take a step forward closer to him.
"Why are you upset, is it because of me?.." He asked, his face twisted into one of concern and desperation as he squeezed your hand. The amount of emotions rushing through him from seeing you, it made his chest tighten. Especially with your red puffy face and tear stained cheeks.
"What? I'm not upset, don't worry." You tried to give him a small smile. He frowns, your appearance clearly giving it away as he lets go of your hand. You silently opened the door more for him to let him inside. Turning around to walk into the living room while you turned on the lights, you heard him walk inside and shutting the door before following behind you. Both of you sat there, a good distance between you two.
"Don't lie." Nagi spoke, he glanced at you. He didn't know why he was trying so hard to get an answer from you. But if he did anything, he should apologize right?
"You've been avoiding me, started playing soccer without telling me and haven't been playing any of the games we play together. Did.. Did I do something?" His voice was soft, listing out his reasons why he couldn't sleep, Why he was so worried for you.
"I haven't been avoiding you?! I've just been busy, okay? Sorry I don't have enough free time to hang out with you like Reo..."
"Reo? What about Reo?" He asked, his curiosity showing while his eyebrows furrowed. Trying to piece together what you meant.
Reo, the reminder of what happened at the soccer field flashed through your mind. You felt yourself finally snap, fist clenching before you let out the true reason.
"You obviously like him more than me! You're more close to him than me now, even though we've been friends way longer! Depending on him more often, at this point hanging out with him more since you're in the same class now as him and we aren't! He even made you join the soccer team, don't you hate anything to do with sports? I'm sorry I'm not like him!" You took a pause from your outburst, before finishing what you had to say.
"I'm sorry I'm not Reo." You said, your voice now low and almost a whisper. Feeling your tears well up in the corners of your eye you felt your breath hitch before you lowered your head down. Not wanting to even see Nagi's reaction.
"I'm sorry-"
You felt yourself be embraced into a tight hug. The distance between you two quickly gone while his warmth spreads around you, he then pushed your head into his shoulder. "Of course you're not Reo," He said, letting your tears soak his hoodie.
Nagi's hands slowly roam to your back, gently rubbing it. "And I don't really care if you aren't him. I care more about you anyways. Is that why you started to play soccer? To be like him?" He asked but you didn't answer. Blinking away tears quietly, not wanting to let him hear your sobs if you spoke.
"You don't have to be him, actually I preferred if you didn't." He pulled your face away from his shoulder. Cupping both of your cheeks to make sure you looked at him. His touch was warm, comforting almost as he looks directly at your eyes.
"I like you, not Reo. Why would you change yourself?" Your tears ran down his hand as your lips parted. Not knowing what to say to his sudden confession.
"You like me?" You asked. His eyes widened and he blinked a couple times before humming.
"I guess I do," He said, wiping your tear away with his thumb.
You chuckle, shaking your head as he lets go of your face. "You're so simple minded.." A small smile laced your lips as you looked up at him. His face filled with relief that you were fine now, that everything has been cleared with no misunderstanding. That he wanted you, not Reo.
"Well, I can tell Choki you're feeling better now."
