"I love you"
"I love you too"
Those three special words that you and him always exchanged every night was a hobby. After class, he used to check you or walk with you, going to their practice. Every time you talk about your day on call, he used to chuckle or say something in return.
Those changes, you noticed them every day passed by.
There's no way you cannot unnoticed this. The way he looked at you with his eyes full of love and sincere. The concerned look whenever you are upset or sick were changed with an unconcerned one.
Those freaking moments you cherished the most, it looked like he already threw it away. Couldn't handle the painful feeling from your heart, you decided to confront him.
After class.
You hurriedly gathered your things although you dropped some of your things, you instantly left the room as you run towards the gym.
You opened the doors, panting. "Oh? (Las—" you ignored Bokuto as you approach Akaashi, looking at you with his now emotionless eyes. "Let's talk. It's important"
you said seriously, that you could swore that you've never been this serious before. He nodded, asking for a permission from his coach.
Walking in the field, you stopped as he too. "(Last Name)"
Your heart fell, hearing him calling your last name for the first time (A/N: Well, not really for the first time. Let's just say, you're not really used to it)
You sighed as you glanced at him. "Keiji, do you still love me?" you asked, despite calling his first name. He first mumble something inaudible but paused for a moment.
"No"
This time your heart shattered as he continued. "I-I was going to tell you before but I couldn't because .. I just feel guilty if I —but now you asked for a talk and I thought this is the right time" he explained, looking down.
You only nodded as tears started to roll down your cheeks. He bit his lip, hearing your sniffs even though you tried to not make a noise.
A minute passed, you wiped your tears as you bitterly chuckled. "I-I guess. We're over, huh" he only looked down, couldn't say anything. "Please look at me" he did what you told him but felt a pang of guilt, seeing your cheeks drenched because of the tears.
"But you did love me, right?" you asked, wanting to know if he did or not. He nodded.
You faked a smile. "Thank you for everything, Keiji. Thank you for letting me love you and for loving me too. I just hope you'll be happy right now" you bowed down as you turn your back. Slowly walking away as tears started to burst out.
You covered your mouth, fastening your pace. As Akaashi only looked at your fleeing figure, standing there with a feeling of guilt and sadness.
"Keiji, do you love me?"
"Yes, of course"
"How much?" you giggled as he think for a while,
His lips formed into a smile as he pulls you into a hug. "More than you know"
Your heart pained, recalling that moment. Bursting into tears again as you covered yourself with blanket. "I guess, that wasn't real"
