And Once Again, Spring Has Ended

And Yet, Spring Ends by Default

Due to certain circumtances, now Seijuurou was under Shuuzou with both hands pushed against the sofa.

"Nijimura-san, please move away." There was a demanding tone on Seijuurou's voice and his eyes were menacing. Shuuzou shuddered a little but he got back again.

"Why? It's not like you-"

Shuuzou stopped his words. There were noises from outside of Seijuurou's apartment door. Shuuzou and Seijuurou heard a click from the door and it was pushed open.

Kuroko Tetsuya and Kiyoshi Teppei barged in and saw Shuuzou and Seijuurou in an awkward condition.

"See? I told you not to barge in like that."

"It's okay, Kiyoshi-senpai."

"Kuroko? What are you doing here?" Shuuzou surprised at Tetsuya's appearance at Seijuurou's apartment.

"I'm visiting my fiancé, who is under you right now, Nijimura-san."

"Eh?" Shuuzou looked at Seijuurou and now he noticed the ring Seijuurou wore on his left hand. He never wore that in campus.

"Can you please move away, Nijimura-san?"

Tetsuya's tone of voice was soft and he was smiling to Shuuzou. But Shuuzou was sure he saw a glint on his eyes earlier. So he moved.

"Sorry, Akashi."

"It's okay." Seijuurou was back on his seating position. "I didn't hear a thing about you coming here, Tetsuya."

"It was meant to be a surprise, Sei-kun."

"So that's why you-"

"Ah, sorry, I'll leave I guess." Shuuzou walked out of the door. He walked pass Tetsuya and Teppei.

"Eh, Shuu-chan, wait!" Teppei was about to chase after Shuuzou but he stopped and looked back at Tetsuya.

"I'll be leaving now. If you need something again, you can contact me, Kuroko."

"Thank you, Kiyoshi-senpai."

Teppei got out of there and chased after Shuuzou. He walked behind him when he saw him.

"Did you know? About them?"

Teppei scratched his hair. "Umm, yeah. They have been like that since high school."

"And about the ring?"

"Akashi gave it to Kuroko and declared that they are going to marry after Winter Cup ended in their first year of high school."

Shuuzou suddenly squatted down and wrapped his head with his hands. It made Teppei startled.

"I feel like an idiot, falling for him and being in cloud nine every time he agreed to spend time with me."

"Umm, it seems like they agreed to wear their rings only on weekend."

"Yeah. I never saw him wearing a ring in campus and he never accepted any of my invitation on the weekend. Not even for studying! God damn it!"

Teppei walked closer to Shuuzou and patted his head. "There, there."

Shuuzou looked at Teppei, like sending dagger with his stare.

"Your way of comforting sucks!"

"Ahahahaha..."

"Uh, well, thanks anyway."

Teppei helped Shuuzou to stand back on his feet.

"The spring has ended and so did my first love."

"There will be another spring next year, right?"

"Yeah. Spring will come eventually."
