*sob*
You wiped your tears with the sleeve of your jacket but more slipped down your cheek.
"Kou..."
You were sitting under the stairs of your school's storage room, arms wrapped around your knees, not wanting to attend class.
Your quiet sobs echoed across the room, after a few seconds accompanied by footsteps. They were coming from the top of the stairs going down. You tried your best not to make any sound, afraid that someone might see you.
Pushing yourself further the dark space, you saw a pair of legs dangle down the side of the stairs, then heard a sigh. He was wearing a pair of worn out sneakers and the school trousers.
"Rough day huh?" He said, and you can almost hear his smile
"Yeah." you said, trying not to sob.
"So what's your deal?"
"It's none of your business." You said as stern as you can but failed to sound strong as your voice cracked.
The pair of legs slowly ascended and for a moment you thought he left. Who is he anyway?
You buried your head in your arms and silently let the tears slip.
Closing your eyes, all of it came rushing back. The night of your 2nd anniversary. The first snow of the year. You waited under the tree like what he said.
Then he never came.
A part of you wanted to be angry at him but the you just felt numb.
He was the only one you loved, you thought he loved you back. But, without a word, he left you.
You cried harder, so hard that your body shook.
"I hate you." You whispered in between sobs.
It was quiet in the storage room, just your cries were heard. You kept crying until a pair of warm arms enveloped you. Looking up, you saw blue hair.
He, whoever he was, held you tightly until your eyes felt tired of crying and the world became a blur. You fell asleep, against his beating heart and surrounded by his warmth.
It felt oddly familiar.
~~~~~~~( ._.)~~~~~~~~~
You woke up to the whirring sound of a ceiling fan and realized you were in the infirmary. The nurse was rarely there so it wasn't surprising he easily got you there. Speaking of which, where is that guy?
You turned to your side to face the bed adjacent to yours and saw the blue haired guy, elbow propped against the soft matress, already staring at you.
He had a soft gaze, you felt fuzzy inside.
"Oh you're awake. I was worried because you just collapsed earlier."
"I did not collapse, I fell asleep."
"Hmmmm. If you say so." He said with a smile and got up to sit on the bed, you did the same.
For a few moments, you just stared at each other, he had a small innocent smile on his lips. Somehow, you felt something weird about him as if you've seen him before but you don't know where.
He spoke, "What were you crying about earlier anyway?"
"Why do i have to tell? I don't even know you." You huffed.
"Hmmm. Well then," he got up and stood beside your bed, "I'm Tetsuya Kuroko, it's nice to meet you Y/N. Now, can you tell me what's wrong?" He said, offering his hand. You shook it and felt the same warmth.
"Why do you care so much, huh?" You said, beaten. He just smiled at you. You sighed and ended up telling about your story.
~~~~~~~( ._.)~~~~~~~~~
You just stared at each other again, he probably doesn't know what to say. But you smiled and leaned against the wall.
"He's a jerk, right?" You laughed.
"Wrong." his tone was serious and he just looked straight at you, "That night, he tried to go to where you two should meet, but he was caught in an accident."
What? You never knew. You felt terrible.
"What? H-he never told me." You whispered, avoiding Tetsuya's gaze.
"He never had the chance to. He died in the hospital."
"H-how did you know all of that??"
Tetsuya hesitated, "I witnessed it, I was there that night."
"Your boyfriend, Kou's heart was transplanted to one of the accident's victims. He saved a life, Y/N."
You couldn't possibly hear more of what he has to say. The tears started to fall again as you screamed, "THEN WHY DIDN'T HE SAVED HIS OWN LIFE?!?"
You stormed our of the room and ran to washroom, locking yourself in a cubicle.
Minutes passed and some girls entered the washroom, talking about something, you didn't really care.
"Have you heard? Tetsuya was caught in an accident. He's currently in a coma"
"Tetsuya who? The basketball player?"
"Yea, the one with the blue hair. I heard if not for another boy's heart, he too would've been dead."
You're eyes widened. The guy they were talking about couldn't possibly be Tetsuya, you were talking to him moments before!
After school you went to the hospital where Tetsuya is admitted and asked for the room number his manager told you.
You entered his room.
There he was. The same blue haired boy who comforted you, but much paler, lying on the hospital bed, a beeping machine beside him held proof of his life.
You went beside his bed, grazing your hand across his chest, feeling the beating of the heart that had once been the heart of the man you love.
A tear slipped from your eyes and fell to his hand.
His blue hair, you brushed it away from his face and to your surprise his eyes opened slowly.
"Have I seen you before? You seem familiar." He weakly said.
You can't help but smile widely.
A/N; Well that was shitty, and long
( ._.)🔫
