Today, there are no club activities and the leader of your club let you go early.
You decided to visit your special friend/crush in his practice.
You knew he has a girlfriend and there are various times when the girl would confront you about being too close with her boyfriend.
But why would it bother you?
You’ve been friends far longer than they’ve known each other. Besides, he’s the one who doesn’t want to let you go.
There were times that they got into heavy arguments and you would love to stay out of their way for the sake of their peace.
But your friend begged you to stay by his side. So you did.
You walked into the gym hoping to find the person you wanted to see the most, Hayama Kotaro.
But he’s nowhere to be found.
You approached your cousin Akashi Seijuro and he told you he excused himself to leave early because he wasn’t feeling well.
“Why didn’t he call me then?” you asked in full panic, shuffling through your bag to contact him.
But the red-head gripped your wrist and shook his head. “This is not the perfect time for you to call him, (Y/n).” he said.
“What do you mean?” you asked the your cousin but all he gave you was a saddened smile before resuming his training.
Now you are definitely worried.
But knowing your cousin, when he says something like that, it would be truly serious. So you did not contact him.
You walked down the park to get worry out of your mind, but you couldn’t.
As you passed by the playground, you noticed a familiar blonde sitting on the swing, head hung low.
“Kotaro!” you called and him recognizing your face immediately tried to pretend happy.
“Yo, (Y/n), what’s up?” he asked with a stupid grin on his face. But you knew something was off.
You placed your hands over his shoulder and slowly pulled him for a warm embrace. “Don’t hide it.” You said.
Shocked, the young man stood frozen for a few moments before you began hearing him sob.
“(Random girl) broke up with me.” He said in between sobs.
“She told me she doesn’t want our relationship anymore!” he continued.
“Shh, shh, calm down.” You whispered, rubbing his back. “Let it out. Let it out.”
When he was finally calm and could speak in full sentences, you asked your best friend what happened.
“She was jealous of you. And she made me choose between her and you.” he said, still a little bit depressed.
“You should’ve chosen her, Kotaro.” You said sadly, still holding onto his hand.
“I can’t choose her over you!” he disputed.
Too surprised to react, you could only stare at Hayama with wide-eyes.
He lowered his head and went slowly to hug you. “I don’t know why, but I chose you, (Y/n)… not her.”
“Do you regret choosing me?”
“No. I would never.”
“Then why are you crying?”
“I was scared that you will hate me.”
You pushed him off gently and looked in his eyes. “What do you mean?”
“I love you, (Y/n). Not her.” he answered shyly.
You blushed but giggled because of his cute face. Your best friend can be so cute sometimes.
“I realized that when I felt how much happier I am with you, than with her.” he explained.
“That was why I couldn’t let you go when you said you wanted to leave me.”
Tears started welling up in your eyes as you enveloped him for a hug.
“I love you too.” You whispered shakily in his ears.
“We’ll have happier memories now!” The blonde stated vigorously and he felt you nod.
You then start wondering. How will Akashi react when he finds out?
============
I heard the song ‘The Prayer’ by Josh Groban and Charlotte Church followed by ‘You Raise Me Up’ by westlife.
I cried the whole time. XD
I am so emotional. Like I cry over spilled ketchup. (Not milk, I like ketchup more)
Good Evening…
