Playfull Love

Years went by, you were now in high school. You attended Nekoma high with yiur two friends, Kroo and Kenma while your cousin Bokuto and your other friend Akaashi went to Fukurodani Academy. You werw all part of the volleyball club, you acting as the manager of the Nekoma boys volleyball. You never intended to but given that you have a lot of knowledge with volleyball thanks to your friends, you were dragged into the team by your best friend, Kuroo.

You know. You knew all along.
You loved your best friend. But different things wiuld run in your mind. You thought that Kuroo was just seeing you as a friend. JUST A FRIEND.

He was dating a girl. Obviously, not you.
A girl in his class. She was beatiful. No wonder he would go and try date her. She was just beatuful, graceful. She was smart and intelligent. She was not you. She was Ishigami Yuuki.

They were dating at least for a month now. Of course, you who loved your best friend, accepted that cruel fate. Or so to be more precise, you pretended to. You pretended that you were okay. You pretended as if it never hurt you.

You can't just forget about the pain. The excrucuating pain you felt in your chest when he introduced her to you. You can't forget about that bitter, bitter smile of yours you gave to her acting like nothing.

It hurts.
It really does.

Nationals came. Nekoma and Fukurodani lost.

Kuroo was so depressed and sometimes he would just sit alone at the gym sulking while you watch from afar feeling his pain. After seeing that you were broken once more to see him like that.

You approached him with a guitar in your hand. Stood up in front of him and sits with him. You ran your fingers acros the strings and started playing. You sang the same song when you first met him.

"There's Nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do"🎵

'I hope this song reach him'

"To make you see,
What you mean to me"🎵

'I hope he deels what I feel for him'

"All the pain the tears I cried,
Still you never said goodbye"🎵

'Please Tetsu'

"And now I know,
How far you'd go"🎵

'Please Tetsu, Please'

"I know I let you down,
But it's not like that now"🎵

'Tetsu...I love you'

"This time I'll never let you go"🎵

You were tearing up as you were reaching your limit. How much you wanted him to realize you feelings. You closed your eyes and sang your heart to him.

"I will Be
All that you want
And get myself together
Coz' you keep me from falling apart
All my life
I'll be with you forever
And get you through the day
And make everything okay"🎵

You stopped singing and playing the guitar. Slowly opening up your eyes. You were shocked at what you saw.

Kuroo was crying, eyes wide open lookong at you. Eyes filled with feelings and affection for you.

'Did it reach him?'
'Did he feel it'

Suddenly he had a look as if he was looking from afar. You looked back and was surprised.

Yuuki was there.
Yuuki, Kuroo's GIRLFRIEND IS THERE RIGHT BEHIND YOU. She was tearing up at the scene she just saw. And eventuallt she ran away with eyes filled with tears like yours.

Kuroo chased her. Kuroo left you.
He fucking left you. Alone. Crying.

You felt it once again. The excruciating pain in your chest. It was so painful that you can't breath while crying it out. You held your hands at your chest as if to make it even hust a little bit less painful.

You cried and cried. You cried the pain out of you.

You cried your feeling for him out of you.

You stopped crying. After a couple of minutes. You finally stopped crying. It felt like you no longer have emotions. You stood up and went home. Got some of your homeworks done and went straight to bed. You did not even bother sheeding another tear to what just happened.

Days passed. You haven't attended school since that day.

Kuroo and Yuuki cleared up the misunderstanding and was back to being thw couple they were. While you, you, you did not want to see them.

"Did something happen with you and Lianne?!" Kenma asked still concentrating at his game.

Kuroo was silent but eventually answered.

"I left her....*sigh...
Alone.....At the gym Crying while I chased Yuuki and did not even bother checking her up again....I fucking left her...." "She was crying Kenma.....and I left her there alone".

"That's the first time Lianne xried while being with you"

"What do you mean?!"

"Oh please....Kurooo.... It's been obvious. Answer your own question."

After days without contact and even seeing your shadow, you sent a text to them.

'Hey let's have lunch together, all of us, with Bokuto and Akaashi.'
-Lianne

The four boys were waiting for you on a Saturday morning at the park. The park where you met them.
They were catching up with each other while waiting for you.

Finally you arrived, wearing a scarlet colored dress and your beatuiful long black hair was braided. Just like that fateful day.

Kuroo was once again starstrucked seing how beautiful you really were.

"Hey....Kou and Keiji...glad you can make it" you said with a smile.

"Kenma...stop with your games already" seeing how he concentrated at the game.

"Hi....Tetsurou" you said with a smile full of pretending and cold.

The fact that you stopped calling him 'Tetsu' just banged his chest with guilt.

"Of course we would make it...we missed you" Bokuto said loudly, and I mean Loudly.

"He's right Lianne...we would never turn you down" Akaashi followed with his lovely smile.

Tou smiled at them.

You were playing at the park with Bokuto and Kenma (he really did not want to) while Kuroo and Akaashi was sitting at the bench watching you.

Yes that's right, YOU. The both of them was looking at YOU. YOU and no other one.

Kuroo can't stop staring at you while deeply falling in love with you all over again but at the same time he felt guilt and pain.

"Lianne is really the defenition of beatiful" Akaashi suddenly spoke causing Kuroo to be surprised. Not at his sudden voixe but at hi words.

Kuroo saw Akaashi without speaking. He saw how he admired you. How he adored you.

'Ahh....that's how I look at her too' Kuroo said to himself
realising. he loved you more than what he thought he did.
