"keiji? why are you crying?"
a beautiful, fragile, and familiar face appeared from the shadows.
her gorgeous, silky hair blew in the wind.
her smile and her eyes, soft and full of warmth.
the city lights shone on (y/n).
"no matter. how were things with sugawara-san?"
he needed to hear it.
he needed the closure to move on.
"suga? he..broke up with kiyoko."
he knew where this was going.
"he asked you out, right?"
(y/n) nodded.
••• •••
"keiji..."
"oh my gosh, keiji..."
"is that why you were crying?"
"because you knew suga was going to ask me out?"
he grimaced.
"well, keiji, i said no."
akaashi felt his heart lift up.
the weight on his heart no longer burdened him.
"i..realized i didn't have feelings for him anymore."
"you stayed true to your word, keiji. you helped me move on from suga."
oh how akaashi loved hearing his name roll of her tongue.
"you took me on dates."
"you said good mornings and good nights."
"you hugged me."
"you kissed me."
"you talked to me."
"you laughed with me."
"you took romantic walks with me."
"you held hands with me."
"you called me."
"you sent cheesy texts to me."
"you cuddled with me."
with every phrase, akaashi's lips widened a little more.
"you made me feel loved."
"so, i decided."
"that i'll make you feel loved, too."
in those city lights,
he may have cried.
he may have grieved.
and he may have felt pain.
but.
he also may have felt joy.
he also may have felt hope.
and he may have felt loved.
alternate end.
