"Fuck." Semi rasps while holding my left wrist. My voice doesn't work as his chest rises up with his every breath, and I can hear Tendou's chair making a loud noise when he stands up with a jolt.

"Eita-kun, don't-"

"Fuck," He curses again before his gaze meets my eyes again. For a second, I forget that I am actually standing in the midst of a lot of people I knew of, and my legs begin to shiver as I clenched a fist. As his harsh glare set into my eyes, I had the burning feeling inside my chest that I wanted to burst out crying.

My hand begins to shake under his clutch, and in response, his grip on my wrist tightens. I couldn't hold in another yelp, it was starting to physically hurt.

"Eita-kun, it hurts," I whisper, lips trembling as I spoke. Semi seemed to get more irritated the more I made any motions. Still, with the grip strong, he uses a finger to rub on the pattern, as if he couldn't believe it... As if he wanted to get rid of it.

And at that moment, not only did my wrist hurt; but so did my heart.

"Semi-san, don't do this to her again-"

I think it was Aimee who said that, and as soon as she did, Semi lets go of my wrist, making my hand plo back to the sides. I can barely hold my composure.

"Eit-"

My voice breaks when he turns around, walking with fast strides and leaving the cafeteria; while me and everyone else who had the slightest clue of what happened, couldn't utter a single word.

Why?

Why now?

Why here, of all places?

When did it even happen?

"Een..." I think it was Kanzaki that stood up to hand me a tissue. Only then did I realise that what happened had started to make my cheeks wet.

Why?

When was the last time I checked my wrist?

How did I not notice?

I wasn't sure who it was, that took my hand and dragged me back to my dorm before I started bursting into big baby sobs.

I wasn't sure about anything anymore.

I wanted to believe so much, but why was he so angry?

•••

"Een, please stop crying..." Hichimiya rubs my shoulders, while she sat in front of me and held out an opened packet of juice, waiting to be drunk from.

I had refused to go to the cafeteria for lunch, and the looks Hichimiya and Tendou exchanged with each other when they saw me made my heart hurt even more.

I could understand why Semi said he didn't want pity... I didn't want theirs, at the moment, I just wanted to be left alone.

"Een-chan, just drink this... We have Home Economics next, and you know that we have a shared class with Class 1 again, right?" Tendou pats my hair, flinching when I swat his hand away.

"I'm going back to my room," I say, standing up. I was not ready to see Semi again, not after what happened earlier. There are still red nail marks on my wrist from when Semi had gripped my hand so tightly, and I had also refused to go to the nurse's office, even though Aimee begged me to.

Hichimiya glances at Tendou once again, before the maroon-head gives a nod. Hichimiya then grabs hold of my hand and drags me outside, following Tendou who marched outside with his fists clenched tight.

The students of year three were piling out of their respective classes, and the hallways are cramped as I get dragged outside and towards class 1, by the two. When I begin to squirm away from her grasp, Hichimiya glares at me, turning back to Tendou, who stops when he reaches Semi's class.

"Please. Please let me go. I don't-"

"Een-chan, I'm sorry, but please forgive me for what I'm about to do," Tendou says quietly. When Semi comes out of his class, he immediately takes note of Tendou who stood in front of the classroom, a trembling Hichimiya and me standing behind him. The scowl on his face deepens and I was sure I would burst out crying any second.

But before anything else could happen, before I even had the time to register the fact that Tendou steps in front of Semi and grabs his collar, I see a clenched fist slam against Semi's cheek.

"How dare you do this, Eita-kun?" Tendou yells, and everyone around us gasped as Semi loses his balance and falls to the ground, bottom first.

"Satori, no!"

"Hichi-chan, please." Tendou's voice is terrifying as he looks back at Semi, who hadn't lifted his face up.

"Why can't you be honest with how you feel? Why can't you just give in? What the fuck, Eita-kun? I've looked up to you as a teammate, a classmate, and every single other thing but right now? I hate this version of you. You're better than this." Tendou yells. Semi's eyebrows furrow further when he looks back up at Tendou, a hand over the cheek Tendou had punched.

"You have no idea how fucking lucky you are, that your soulmate is someone you actually love. For hell's sake, why can't you live with it? Do you understand how I feel, knowing the person I love and I probably won't end up being soulmates?" He cries.

Beside me, Hichimiya is squeezing my hand tightly and my eyes were starting to throb from all the warm tears that had begun to collect at the corners of my eyes.

"And here you are, blessed by someone who loves you so much... And you love her back but you're just ruining everything! Eita-kun. Stop shitting around." The middle-blocker hisses.

The last thing I see is Semi's reddened cheek before Tendou grabs Hichimiya's hand and drags her away. She still had her hand clasped in mine, and I am dragged away as well, more tears falling down my cheeks when I look back and see the people gathering around Semi

"Satori, what have you done?!"

"You've been a friend to me even though people were so distant with me when I was younger... You didn't let that bother you. I act like it doesn't affect me, but getting bullied really sucks, Een-chan. This isn't enough to thank you for being my friend, and for being Hichi-chan's friend, as well." Tendou mumbles. "Go to class, the two of you."

Hichimiya and I don't have the heart to stop the maroon-headed boy, when he walks away from us.

"What's going to happen now, Een? I don't want Satori and Semi to fight," Hichimiya says, leaning against the wall.

"I don't know, Hichi. I really don't."
