Your Eyes Said Otherwise [A Tsukishima Kei Fanfiction]

Chapter 40: Happy You're Alive

A/N: This chapter contains the realest life problems most people are facing right now. I kinda wanna let out some feelings here because I'm also stressed as heck. So if you're uncomfortable with the discussion of Anxiety, Depression and Stress, you can skip Mizuki and Kenma's conversation later.

Mizuki's POV

It was raining today in Tokyo, just a light shower though. If it isn't cold enough here. It was my second day on the job, and Uncle Simoun added two more things on my work so I was pretty busy.

Luckily the day ended already but instead of my supposed 4:30 end of shift, it turned into 6:00 because I had to polish a few songs.

I was now walking alone back to the hotel. I looked up at the sky, it's about to rain soon. I sighed, my breath now visible because of the cold. The blazer that Lev gave me is keeping me warm though.

Suddenly, the rain started pouring. And I was still far from the hotel. I shrugged being wet now and just kept walking, knowing I'll find comfort once I get to the hotel.

"Mizuki?!", I heard a voice.

Speaking of Lev...

I looked ahead and saw him at the bus stop, holding an umbrella, with a girl. She must be his sister, they look alike. Lev ran towards me, sheltering me under his umbrella.

"It's winter and it's raining, what were you thinking?", he asked.

"Concer--", I was supposed to ask but he cut me off.

"You're ruining the blazer I gave you. That's pretty expensive, you know.", he said.

I sighed and chuckled, hugging myself.

"Levochka, don't just leave me there!", the girl he was with said, walking towards us.

"Oh, you must be his sister, I'm Honami Mizuki.", I greeted her.

"I'm Alisa Haiba, nice to meet you! Are you and my baby brother close?", she asked.

"Yeah, we hang out.", I chuckled.

"But why are you showering in the rain? It's dead winter.", she asked, drying my slightly wet arms with her towel.

"I stay nearby, so it's fine.", I smiled.

"She's a rich girl.", Lev said.

"Shut it, Giraffe.", I joked.

Alisa gasped and stepped protectively in front of Lev. He smiled and acted scared and pitiful.

"You know what...", she started, crossing her arms.

"Hehe.", Lev chuckled from behind her.

"...he DOES look like a giraffe!", she laughed, putting a hand on my shoulder.

Lev's jaw dropped as we were laughing at him.

"You get along really well...", he said with a poker face.

"Say, Mizuki, do you like shopping?", she asked me.

"I love it!", I replied.

"Cool, we should hang out soon! We can go shopping with Yamamoto's sister! You'll love her, I promise.", she said.

"I'm in! But you wouldn't mind if I tag along another girl, right? She's really great to hang out with, she's from Fukurodani!", I replied.

"The more the merrier!", she sang.

"How about this Friday? I'm going back to Miyagi on the weekends.", I asked.

"It's settled then, girls' day out!", she cheered.
