(Akaashi Keiji x Reader) He regretted not saying those stupid words. He knew your greatest insecurity was not being good enough, and here he just let you walk out that door, feeling as if you weren't enough. But you were enough. You were everything and even more. He was overtaken by a wave of anguish that hit him, he let you disappear out that door because of his own fears. His greatest fear was loving someone, only to have them leave, taking a piece of his heart with them. But now, he realized what fear crippled him the most, letting the person he loved more than anything walk out of his life because he refused to say those 3 words. He wanted you to see every part of him, the best and the worst. He needed you to love him inside out, which you so desperately desired. A part of him died once you walked out that door, you were his whole world, and he was yours. He just hoped it wasn't too late to say I love you.

"But he likes someone different", she added and clenched her teeth.
