I pull my hand away.
"What the hell were those?"
I guess he saw, but it's none of his business.
"Why do you care?"
"I..." He pulls his hand back. "I don't."
He pushes past me but then he stops.
"You know, just because we aren't friendly to one another doesn't mean that I'm going to ignore you if you try to talk to me and, I.. I still care."
He starts to continue walking but I stop him. I wrap my arms around his waist as I feel the tears well up.
"Thank you, thank you so much."
I let go and he turns around.
"Did you want to talk about it?"
I think about it. To let another person know my secrets? It was a scary thought. To let another person in after all the betrayal. I look up at him. His green orbs pierce my (eye colour) orbs. His face holds a stoic expression but his eyes are burning with passion. They're intense and it's almost like they're begging to know. Like they're begging to easy my hurt and pain. I falter a little. Would it really be that bad to let him in? He is just one person after all. I nod my head. It was a little awkward but I intwined our fingers and lead him to the bench under the Sakura tree.
We sat for a little as I prepared myself. This was calming. Just watching the pink petals dance in the slight breeze. Our hands were still connected as he made no attempt to pull them apart and I wished not to either.
"Promise me."
"Promise you what?"
"After I tell you, you'll look at me the same. You won't see me different or like a reject."
I'm answered with silence. Then a tear skids down my cheek. So he can't promise me?
"...Well, that's a given. You'll always stay the same to me."
I look up at him and he looks away. But a second later, his head faces me again. LipWith his spare hand, he wipes my tear. I blush a little. He was actually really sweet. I start to tell him, then I continue and continue until it all comes out.
"And, I thought it was all over. All the pain. But then, when I saw you with that girl, when you said yes. I don't know, it made my heart ache and I was in pain. I didn't know what this feeling was. Until I realised that I loved you. But, you hate me, don't you?"
I looked at him. His expression made him look dumbfounded.

"I didn't know what this feeling was. Until I realised that I loved you. But, you hate me, don't you?"
My whole mind went blank. Did she just say she loves me? But, I thought... I thought she didn't like me. All this rudeness towards me, but she loves me? How do I even reply? What are my feelings for her? Her face, smiling flashes into my mind. I want to see her smile like that again. The brightness, the beauty. I want to be the one who makes her smile like that. I want to be the reason. But, I've never conveyed my feeling before. And what even is that feeling? Could you call it love?
"I-I don't hate you. But I don't know if I love you. Maybe you could tell me what this feeling is? It's like, I get this uneasiness in my stomach when I see you and I... I want to be the one to make you smile. Is that what they call love?"
I sounded so stupid and so foolish. It's so unlike me.
"I believe that's what they call love, Akaashi."
"Then... Will you be my girlfriend (First name)?"
"Of course I will!"
She jumps on me and I embrace her. I guess this is the start of something new.
