Daichi's POV

I messed up, didn't I?

How could I even say that to her? I felt so hurt at the moment those words left my mouth, my mind wasn't in the right place and I knew that. I wanted to be as far as possible from Y/n before I hurt her.

And now that I did, I can't blame anyone else but me.

Kuroo's words earlier was like a slap to my face, I needed to be strong. Did I even do that for Y/n? For my team?

I should apologize to her, I promised myself not to hurt her. I feel something so genuine towards this girl and it's honestly surprising that I get to feel this in my last year of high school.

But that wasn't the point, the point is... I hurt Y/n, I can see it in her eyes when I told her the words but it was a second before I later on realized and didnt bring myself to apologize.

I'm pathetic aren't I?

And this burning sensation towards kuroo being close to Y/n wasn't helping either, but I should thank him either way because I he didn't give me words that slapped me I wouldn't be okay right now.

I already told myself that they were just friends, kuroo is also my friend if that's what we are. But that doesn't stop me from being such a jerk for saying those to Y/n.

Just because of a game, I brought my frustrations on her and said awful things that was beyond limits.

How could I be so reckless?

Standing up from the large rock I was met by my team waiting for me at the entrance.

I could use some help from them too.

"Daichi-senpai, are you okay?" Hinata was the first one to ask.

No, I just said some awful things to the girl that meant everything to me.

"Yes." I replied.

Y/n's POV

I sighed, stopping on my tracks I find myself stopping outside the building.

The sensation on my chest was still painful, the lump in my throat was still their making me remember the things he just said to me. The tears gathered up in my eye but I wiped it before It can escape my eye.

I shouldn't be crying like this, I should stop being so dramatic.

Think about something you like, Y/n.

Cats.

My emotion finally started to calm down, sighing in relief I was about to take a step forward when.

"Y/n!" I heard kuroo yell from a distance.

I turned around, seeing him running up to me with a worried look.

"Kuroo?"

"How could you leave me like that?" He asks, his tone was filled with humor.

I remained looking at him with a blank look, which slapped the smile off his face when he noticed the look in my eyes.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

I nodded at his question.

"I'm going home." I announced, turning around and was about to walk away when I felt a grip on my wrist, I quickly turned around.

The hand was still on my wrist.

"I'll go with you."

At the trains station

"He didn't mean it." Sitting next to me on a bench to wait for the train, kuroo asks me with a look on his face that says 'You should believe me'.

I looked away from him.

"If he did, those words shouldn't come across his mind." I fired back.

He sighs, knowing I'll use anything against him to prove that daichi really did mean those words. Daichi really didn't need me around him.

"He's frustrated, I know it's wrong to say that to a person. But just talk to him... Please?" He asks, almost sounding like he's begging.

I looked at him in surprise, kuroo was begging over something so simple? The frown on his face made me surprise even more.

Making me want to laugh, which I did. Letting out a unexpected laugh at how pathetic he was looking. Kuroo begging was my favorite thing in the world right now.

My laugh stopped when I noticed him looking at me with a soft look.

"Fine, I'll talk to him because you asked so nicely." I teased, letting out a laugh once again.

I don't get to laugh like this except whenever I'm with Aiko, I'm not laughing with him, I'm laughing at him.

"Are you mocking me or something?" He leans back on the bench as he crossed his arms across his chest while raising a eyebrow.

"You're funny when I get you begging." I said, letting out another chuckle.

Author's POV

Unnoticed to Y/n, kuroo was looking at her as if he saw forever in her eyes, looking at her as if she was the only woman in his life.

The smile the girl made, made him feel like everything was going to be okay. He swore he can never get tired of a sight like her laughing.

Then the man Y/n is with flashed in his mind.

Maybe if he realized his feelings for her a little early, he would be having this breathtaking sight everyday. Trying his best to give her all of him, wanting to give her the best of him.

Maybe if he would've just accepted the growing feelings he had, would he be able to hold you so gently?

Looking was the only thing he can do at this point, wanting nothing more than the pretty smile she has on her face to tell him that everything was going to be alright.

His friends were right.

He was so down bad for her.

Y/n's POV

"Why are you staring at me like that?" I asked, after noticing him looking at my face for a long time as I was laughing which I was still wondering on why.

"Nothing, are you ready for tomorrow?" He asks, I mentally thanked him for changing the topic to a non-daichi related.

I nod, as I looked ahead of us.

"I'm excited, for Yamazaki and Aiko to talk their problems out properly." I said, looking at him not realizing I still had a small smile on my lips.

"Those two are idiots, alright." He says, making me snicker.

"They are, I think it's safe to say that love does make you stupid." I said, seeing kuroo's eyes change into something I haven't seen in him.

"It does." He murmurs before looking away from me.

The train thankfully appeared, standing up from my seat I felt kuroo standing up also.

The train slowly stopped in front of us and we both went inside, finding a empty seat we immediately found one. People were fewer these days so it had like 10 people in the train which was nice.

We both sat on a seat, still not starting a conversation til the train moved.

Now I just realized I knew little of kuroo, besides him being smart and good at volleyball, I know nothing about him. So that does make some question on has he ever liked a woman?

I turned to him, seeing as he was looking ahead. He soon felt my stare.

"Have you ever liked a woman?" I ask him.

He looks at me with a surprised look, He answers after a second.

"Of course, I'm liking a certain woman right now actually." He confesses, a small smile appeared on his face.

It was now my turn to look at him with a surprised look, him liking someone? I mostly wonder who, I'm curious to see what kind of woman he likes. He's still a mystery to me.

"Who?" I asked.

He shakes his head with a smile.

"Why should I tell you?" He tells me and looks away from me.

"Nevermind then, if you won't tell me then don't." I said, looking away from him too.

I know well that I didn't mean it, of course I want to know. Seeing kuroo as more of a friend like type of a guy he does seem to be good boyfriend if he ever will be. So having him like someone makes me think that maybe I can help him out.

"Aren't you going to whine and beg me to tell you?" He says, feeling his eyes on me I ignored it and pretended to ignore it.

"I don't need to know." I said.

"Fine, I just won't say who though." He tells me.

I finally look at him with a smile of victory.

"Deal."

Kuroo shifts in his seat and was now looking at me with a smirk that I ignored, he then started to open his mouth.

"So... This girl is really smart, very stubborn and cute at the same time. I feel different, whenever I look at her." He says with a gentle tone as he continues to look at me.

Who can this be? If it's from school surely I would've known, since kuroo is very well known in school. So knowing he has a crush they will talk about it once and a while. Then why don't I know?

"I like the way she gets pissed whenever I do silly things." He says.

Why would you like to have someone you like be pissed at you? Tsk tsk tsk.

"I like everything about her." He finally says, eyes still on my face.

Meanwhile, I uncomfortably shifted in my seat. Worrying wether I had something on my face or it's just him?

The way he looks at me was different than daichi's, but I couldn't quite get what it is.

Is he in love? Is he thinking about her right now? Somehow I'm happy kuroo found someone for himself, he's a good guy.

"You're in love." I teased and let out another chuckle.

"I am." He says, his eyes still not leaving my face, "Very."

I finally stopped laughing.

"Stop looking at me like that." I tell him.

"Talk to daichi." He suddenly says making me stop my movements.

Looking away, I became silent. Which he also did.

20 minutes later

A very joyful atmosphere which he just had to ruin, I was forgetting about daichi until he just had to bring him up. The painful words started to ring in my head again. I became silent half of the rise, not finding the energy to talk anymore.

"I'm sorry about that, I didn't know why I needed to say that." He apologizes.

"It's okay." I replied, leaning my back on the seat I looked ahead, the window of the train showed different buildings that we passed.

'I don't need you'

'What the Hell are you doing here'

'God, You're annoying'

"He doesn't mean it, and I hope that you know that." He says to me.

"I know that... I just wish." I began to say feeling water forming in my eyes. No matter how much I force myself not to feel hurt by that, I still feel like I got hit by a truck, "He thought about it before saying it."

That's it, breaking down I immediately covered my eyes before anyone could see the tears escaping my eyes without permission. I lowered my head down as I began to wipe my eyes trying so hard not to sob in public.

I was feeling so pathetic with myself, but... I just can't hold it back anymore.

I was overthinking, did he really not need me anymore?

Looking up I noticed that it was my stop after feeling the train slowing down, I finally wiped my cheeks one more time before standing up.

"I'll see you tomorrow kuroo." I blankly said, standing up from my seat I walked to the train door after noticing that he was silent.

But before I could exit the train a hand on my wrist stopped me from going any further, turning me around I crashed in the arms of his, his gentle arms wrapping around my shoulders as he hugged me as if I was leaving forever.

"Take care."
