Legend has it that when you meet your soulmate, you and only you can see a countdown on their wrist. The countdown indicates how many days your soulmate has left to live. Your soulmate can't see their own countdown, only you can. So, what will you d...
It's after school on a Wednesday which means that we have practice in about half an hour. It kind of sucks, it's been a shit day and I really can't be arsed with practice, or the team for that matter. They've been bothering Shoyo and I about our relationship all day. Like, to the point that Tanaka and Noya came down to where the first years have classes just to bother us. Do they seriously not have anything better to apply their brain cells, or rather lack of brain cells, to? Like you two are literally failing all your classes, go study or some shit and leave me and my little cinnamon bun alone.
Well, at least Shoyo looks happy enough. Oh, who am I kidding, he's always happy on a practice day, volleyball is his life and anyone who can't see that is fucking blind. I wrap an arm around his shoulders, pulling him into my side. "Someone looks happy." Good job Kei, well done for pointing out the obvious.
"Are you kidding? Of course I'm happy!" He has that stupid sparkle in his eyes again. I swear to god, I will dismember anyone who even thinks about making him lose that sparkle. "It's a practice day! That means I get to play volleyball with all my friends again!" Aww bless him, he gets so excited about practice, I will protect this little fucker and his excitement at all costs.
You know what would last longer than a memory? A picture. That way, whenever I'm sad, I can just look at his adorable face, even when he's... you know what, there's no point in pretending it's not happening. Shoyo is going to die in 311 days, I'll need something to remind me of him when he's gone. "Hey Shoyo?" He looks up at me with that confused, puppy-like expression. Stop making me turn soft! Stop it! "Wanna take a picture with me? You know..so when yo-we grow up together, we can look back on the way we were fondly." Nice save Kei, nice fucking save. You nearly gave the game away just then. He can't know about the timer! It'd break his heart!
He giggles. "You don't have to ask that! I'd love to take a picture with you, you big goof!" Looks like my little bean learned the ways of casually insulting people without offending them. Good to know I'm having an effect.
"Come here then." I pull him around, in front of me, so we're facing a mirror. Why the fuck do they even have mirrors on the locker doors? Is it just so we can all see our faces and wallow in self loathing before class? I don't know but it definitely makes for a good photo. "Yup..." I smile as I look at it. "That's going on my Instagram..."
