Graduation

"Hey Yaku-senpai," Lev doesn't even wait for Yaku to answer after he passes the ball to him "don't forget me when you graduate."

"Huh? " Yaku replies, looking up from the ball which Lev has just passed him. He spins it in his hands and frowns at his tall kohai.

As soon as Yaku heard Lev sniff, he knew something was wrong. He instinctively dropped the ball and ran over to the other side of the court to where Lev was. His shoulders were shaking and his big hands covered his face, presumably hiding his tears.

"Hey Lev...what's wrong?," He asks, places his hand on his kohai's back, rubbing soothing circles in that area,hoping it would help calm him down a bit. Yaku was slightly shocked about the sudden outburst from Lev, but it was usual for the Russian teammate to be very expressive. Lev removed his hands from his face showing Yaku his tear stained face. "Hey-Lev. Why are you crying?" He asks again, hoping to get an answer this time.

"When you graduate... We're not gonna see eachother anymore. Then-then senpai is gonna get a girlfriend and then-they're gonna get married and and-"

"Get to the point." Yaku says, already losing his patience.

"You won't have any time for me anymore," He sniffs, coughing through the heavy tears. Yaku's eyes widen, then he frowns again and playfully smacks Lev's shoulder. Before Lev can say 'ow' he's pulled into a hard embrace. Small yet powerful arms wrapped around his waist and held him close. "Y-Yaku-senpai...?" Lev asks, slightly confused by this sudden outburst of affection.

"Shut up," Yaku says as he rests his head against Lev's chest, closing his eyes. He hate to admit it but he is going to miss his Titan of a kohai. "You're such an idiot, you know? How the hell am I going to forget you? You're too annoying and outrageous for me to forget. Ever." Lev's tears double in amount after hearing this but he couldn't tell if they were tears of happiness or sorrow. Lev decides it was both and he wraps his lanky arms around Yaku's shoulders, squeezing tight as if he is afraid to let go. Lev rests his forehead on Yaku's shoulder and sobs loudly, his tears soaking through Yaku's black t shirt. Yaku brings one of his hands up to Lev's sliver hair and caresses it softly, almost lovingly.

After a few moments, Lev's crying ceases and he lifts his head, looking Yaku directly in the eyes. Yaku raises an eyebrow, almost as if to ask what Lev was going to do next. A grin appears on Lev's lips and he leans in, kissing Yaku's for a second before pulling away from his senpai's lips and letting go from the hug. A blush appears on Yaku's cheeks before his eye twitches in annoyance and he grits his teeth. By this time Lev was already by the sport's hall entrance, running as fast as his legs could carry him , avoiding the beating he is going to receive from his short upperclassman. As Yaku runs after his kohai, he attempts to fight a growing smile that is bubbling up inside of him.

'Well,' Lev thinks as he runs out of the school campus, a short senpai hot on hus trail 'at least it's still a while until he graduates'
