"Kei-kun..."

He couldn't take her off of his mind; it was driving him crazy.

After talking with Tobio, Tsukishima was allowed to meet up with (Y/N), only if she agreed to. He wasn't going to force her, but he needed to talk to her. She agreed, and they met up at the park.

The same public park that he was just at.

The same public park that Misaki and (Y/N) talked privately on their last year in middle school.

The same public park that was (Y/N)'s happy place. 

Yesterday, Kazuko told him everything that properly motivated him to go and talk to (Y/N), and since he was up all night thinking about what he would do to regain (Y/N)'s heart, he decided to let it all out today.

It was nearing 16:00, and she stood there with her eyes avoiding his heavy gaze. The sun was near to setting since it was early spring.

Tsukishima stood with his back against the metal railing. He was staring at (Y/N)'s (E/C) eyes that kept wandering to his; he knew she wanted to look at him.

"(Y/N)," he called out with his rather deep voice, "I need to talk to you."

He walked up to her, and the two sat down on the blanket that Tsukishima laid out. She sat on her legs since she was wearing a warm spring dress that complimented her curves, and Tsukishima wore his normal go-get outfit.

"W-What is it that you want to talk about..." she said softly. 

God how he missed her voice. Even if she was upset at him, just the sound of it made his heart flutter ten times more. 

"Can... can you look at me?" he asks carefully.

And she did. Her big (E/C) eyes scanned his, and his golden orbs stared right back.

"Look... I know that the last couple of days have been hard," he said to her, "And I know... that you saw that horrible kiss between me and that captain."

He checked to see how she responded to that; she stiffened, but her eyes didn't leave his. 

'She's not surprised, which means what Kazuko said was true; she knows that I didn't mean to kiss Itsuki.'

"Then what happened? Why did you kiss her?" she questions him; the pain in her voice was clear that she didn't let go of the question despite having hope that Tsukishima didn't mean the kiss.
