SNEAK PEEK

Not a chapter but a peek on what lies in the future as we are heading towards the heavy chapters.

"What is happening to you Wakatoshi." You held on his arm shaking it vigorously in confusion and annoyance as the two of you reached the rooftop of the hotel.

You have no idea what has gotten into him as he was constantly avoiding you for days. At first you thought it was just him being all concentrated in the Nationals but the moment you noticed the changes in his demeanor inside the court, you knew something was wrong.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you avoiding me? What's the problem? It's affecting your performance." You asked panting as your heart clenched as your friend gave you a cold gaze.

"Tell me what's wrong Wakatoshi." you said with your voice cracking as tears began to fall out of your eyes. It really hurt you that he was giving you a cold treatment. You became closer to him, you're comfortable around him and you knew that aside Akaashi, he will be the next person to understand you more. He's been avoiding you for too long, you miss him. You miss his comforting presence, and the way he takes care of you.

Shoving your hand away he said "I can't be friends with you anymore." His words shocked you; making your world stop as you felt something pierced through you.

"W-why?" Did I do something wrong? Are you mad that I told the coach to sub you out at the game earlier?" you grumbled in fear and pain.

"Wakatoshi I can't lose you, you're my best friend." you pleaded at him. Your eyes stared at his as tears were streaming down your cheeks.

The man breathe out a heavy sigh wiping your tears away.

"That's the point [Y/N], I'm just your friend." he commented and you noticed a hint of sadness in his olive eyes. An emotion you had never seen before.

That made you confused. "W-what do you mean?" you asked.

"I like you." he admitted. "No. I love you."

"But I can't take it any longer [Y/N], it's hurting me too much."

"I thought I could be okay by staying by your side even though I know you wouldn't fell for me as you had already did to someone else. I'm not that numb after all. It hurts, it really hurts every time you talk about him." He looked away forcing himself not to let out a cry.

"Every time I saw the of you together, my heart would break into pieces."

"I can't be friends with the girl I love."

"I can't be with your side anymore [Y/N."

"Let me go."
