Floating Away With You

Chapter 5- Earbuds

(TENDOUS POV)~
Y/N) was like every other girl in my class. She never stood out much to me. She tried super hard to get good grades and would suck up to the teachers. Nothing in particular to notice, until today.

She's selfless, beautiful and alone. She doesn't have anyone special in the world, she's like me.

Rushing up from the couch I hug her with all my weight. It felt so good.
I had just met her, but she has something special that nobody else has. I just can't put my finger on it.
It's like, with her, I can cry and show emotion but it doesn't make her uncomfortable.
I hate people who tell you it's going to be alright. They don't know what you're going through. (Y/N) doesn't put on a fake smile and she doesn't try to comfort you.

She listens, and listens only.

"Tendou?" She was whispering. I just met this girl, but she reminds me of home.
"Can we stay like this just a little longer?" I asked, words muffled from her hair. She smells great.

"Okay" she said turning around, hugging me back. She's short, her head only reaching my collarbone. We fit together perfectly, like a puzzle pieces.

I can finally breath.

(*Time skip- 2 days later)

It's been two days since I last talked to (Y/N). I think I might have scared her. It's fine. As the leafs started falling and the weather is getting chillier.
My feet hit the pavement of the sidewalk at the beat of my music, walking home by myself with my earphones in, sipping on some canned coffee. What a lovely walk home. Alone.
My thoughts went blank all of a sudden, I was walking, but the music was disappearing. I'm floating away again. A smile plasters on my face. This is calming.

Many past classmates have given me the nickname "Zombie" or "Monster" i think ...?something like that because of my blank stares and smile. Kids are so dumb.

I went to pass through the intersection when someone comes running into me.
"Wow be careful there" I respond with a laugh. My drink had spilled all over my uniform. Great.
"I'm so. SO. Sorry! Here wait let me make it up to you." The person started picking up their books flustered. I just want to get out of here.
"No. Look it's fine." I started walking as fast as I could away from the person. I was getting nervous.
The person pulls my wrist hard and turns me around. I shut my eyes as hard as I can.
"WHAT? Just leave me alone!" I yell trying to get loose. I could feel people staring at us from the sudden noise.
I immediately shut my mouth. "Sorry..." I say under my breath. Their grip was loosening.
"Tendou wait." My hands had begun to shake. My eyes still shut.

I didn't want to talk to this person.

"Tendou! It's just me! Calm down!"
(Y/N) was standing in front of me, dropping my wrist.
"Oh." I opened one of me eyes and blushed a bit out of embarrassment. I don't even remember doing those things, my brain just started freaking out. Now I definitely scared her.

It was as if she read my thoughts.
"Care to walk home with me?" She asked with a small smile. I didn't say anything, I just started walking beside her. I took her books. They looked heavy.
"What are you listening to?" She asked me. She was holding her hands together in front of her. Fiddling her thumbs and staring at the floor.
Her nose had become pink from the colder weather. It's cute.
"Here" I respond, taking out one of my earbuds.
I reach over and put it in her ear. Her eyes move to mine. Wow.

I didn't notice my hand had stayed holding her cheek, her eyes stayed on mine.
"Um, sorry." I said in a whisper, pulling back my hand from her cheek. Our faces were closer to each other than they were before. I wonder if she noticed.

Afterwards I missed the heat from her cheek and the look in her eyes.
