"What are they arguing about this time?" Haru whispers from beside me as we both watch mum and dad complain about god knows what.

"I don't know Haru," I let out a small sigh looking at the both of them.

"I'm not lying to you Haruto. I'm not hiding anything from you or her," I could barely hear come out of mum as she places a hand on dads shoulder.

He only slightly flinches at the touch before moving a step back darting his eyes in our direction.

"What do you both want?" Dad eyes the both of us.

"N-nothing dad! We were just uhh hungry," I slephishly smile at him.

He only nods in response before walking out the room, towards the stairs.

"We'll talk later," He says his back facing the three of us as he walks up the stairs.

I could only hear mum let out a small sigh a small frown on her lips before changing it into a smile.

"Alright so what do my two lovely children want to eat?"

β€”
"What are you doing my little lotus?" Dad walks into the backyard as I was practicing my serves.

"Daddd!" I screech as he ruffles my hair playfully.

The tall figure only laughs in response before moving his hand back.

"So are you excited for your first high school match?"

At the mention of volleyball my eyes perk up jumping up and down, "Ooo yea I am! I can't wait to show these girls my amazing skill!"

"Hmm that's the Nakamura blood in you," Dad hums as he grabs a volleyball from the grass spiking it to me, to which I am quick to receive.

"W-will mum be coming?" I nervously ask.

I could feel his body stiffen as he catches the ball in his hands.

"Is she not coming because of the fight you had over me?" I couldn't help but ask.

As I heard no response come out of him I could feel my heart drop.

"It is, isn't it," I say above a whisper only so dad could hear.

"No no not at all hunny!" He hurries towards me leaning down at my level so that he could see my face.

"Mum and I are fine and she will definitely be there so don't worry! Alright my little lotus!" He pokes my cheek to which I couldn't help but let out a small giggle.

"Why do you call me that dad," I whine poking his stomach as I puffed my cheeks out.

"That's because you are my little, sweet, beautiful lotus Ren," He smiles at me sweetly.

β€”

It all made sense now.

The constant arguing, whispering, hearing dad accuse mum of hiding something.

They were all liars. All of them.

I could feel the rain fall all over my trembling body as I began to run away from my house not knowing where to go.

I just wanted to be away from them. All of them.

After running for around 5 minutes I see a dimly lit up convenience store deciding to go inside to wait for the rain to simmer down.

Walking in, the cashier instantly looks at my shaking body rushing towards me.

"Are you okay hunny?!" She grabs a blanket from one of the racks draping it over my body.

I couldn't even let out a word as I was too cold to even use any energy.

The cashier looks me up and down worry filled in her eyes.

"Where's your mom and dad?"

Her words cause my recently shaking body to stiffen at the thought of my parents.

"D-do youβ€”can I have a c-chocolate milkshake p-please," I stutter quietly as I look into her piercing blue eyes.

Her eyebrows furrow slightly before she lets out a small chuckle as she ruffles my damp hair slightly.

"Sweetie I don't think it's best to have a cold drink now. I'll bring you hot chocolate instead alright? Stay here," And with that the lady pulls out a chair from behind a counter signaling me to sit as she begins to make my drink.

I could only stare at the floor as I tried to grasp everything in my mind.

"Do you have anyone to come and pick you up?" The middle aged women asks as she had her back facing me.

Slowly I take my phone out of my pocket water also coming out of it in the process.

Well great it's broken.

"I'll just wait for the rain to calm down," I respond snuggling myself in the blanket as I try to regain warmth.

I could hear faint footsteps from behind me as the lady hands me my warm drink, sitting right beside me on her own chair.

I look down at the hot chocolate for a few seconds before taking a sip, the hot beverage going down my throat.

Mumbling a quiet thank you she only nods in response as she grabs a drink of her own.

"So you want to tell me why you were running around in a thunderstorm?" She looks my way a small smile on her lips.

I don't respond for a few seconds as I think to if I should tell this stranger or not.

"I-I was running away from something bad,"

The ladies eyes perk up at my words, "Something bad?"

"Today, not only did I let people down but those I loved the most have been lying to me for almost my entire life,"

"Maybe they didn't tell you this so call secret for a good reason?" 

Pfft like there's any valid reason as to why my parents have been lying to me.

"Maybe..." My words slightly drift off.

"How about these people you let down?" She continues.

I take another small sip of my drink letting out a small sigh as it slowly warms up my body, "I was supposed to win something for my friends but only let them down because I wasn't strong enough. S-so I had to push them away. They probably all hate me now," A frown comes to my lips as a tear slowly falls down my cheek.

"Did you talk to them?"

"N-no,"

"Then how do you know that they hate you?" Is the question that the stranger beside me asks leaving me with no way to answer.

I only stay silent as I tried to think of something to say.

"You may think that they hate you but you haven't asked them yourself. You shouldn't push the ones you love away without expressing yourself to them. So talk to them, let them know how you feel," She places a hand on my shoulder reassuringly as I glance up to see her smile never leaving her face.

I gently smile back till my eyes glance at the milkshake machine beside her.

That's when my eyes widen as something hit me.

I'm such an idiot! Why did I let someone who cares about me go!

Why did I push him away!

I abruptly stand up the blanket falling from my body to the ground.

"I have to go, but thank you so much miss!" I smile at her placing money on the counter before rushing towards the doors.

"But it hasn't even stopped raining yet!" I could hear her shout as I exit the convenience store sprinting as fast as I ever had.

All warmth once in my body has now left as the rain pours even harder soaking me in an instant.

But I didn't care till I reached the front door of the dimly lit house.

Without thinking I knock on the door my body once again shivering from the droplets of water on my skin.

After a few seconds the door opens revealing the gorgeous boy who looked a mix of tired and sad. That is until he saw me that his eyes widened at my appearance.

"Naka? What are you doing heβ€”"

Without thinking I pull his arm crashing my lips onto his, my cold touch on his warm body.

I could feel Iwaizumi's eyes widen as he doesn't kiss me back which I where I quickly pull back.

Shit! Why did I do that!

"G-gomen!" I stutter looking down flustered at the ground feeling my heart slowly shatter, "I'm sorry for kissing you and just coming here randomly. I-I'll leave noβ€”"

My words are cut off as one of his fingers lift my head up slightly my brown eyes meeting his green ones. His other arm wraps around my waist as he pulls my body towards his.

"Just shut up," He grumbles before brushing his lips against mine cupping my cheek in his hand.

This time I'm the one to not respond before letting my body melt into his warm touch as I deepened the kiss all my worries going away.

The end.
