I miss you. I miss you so much i am shaking. Those kind words and soft touches that were once for me are now for natsumi.

'I know you don't care anymore but i can't help it. I still love you. So please, even of it is a lie, tell me those three words.'

Flashback

Kazemaru was invited to endou and natsumi's wedding. He tried to look happy as a friend. But it hurts, it hurts so much seeing the one you love smile at someone else.

"I hope you are happy endou" the defender said trying to act like an adult. But inside, he could hear his heart break just a little more. Endou thanked him then went off to find natsumi.

Kazemaru sat down once it was time for endou and natsumi to be wed. How he wished to be the one at the altar but endou doesn't love him anymore.

'Why? Why did it have to be her? We were so close so why? Why can't you say those three words to me anymore?'

His hand reached out but it caught nothing.

End of flashback

The tealnette dried his tears and gave one last look at a picture frame of him and endou before falling asleep.

The next day, kazemaru went out to by some food and he saw them. They looked so happy. He could feel a few tears prick his eyes. But no matter how much he wished, endou won't love him."I love you" the tealnette heard. He ran off before his tears could spill out.

He closed the door and slid down. Tears pouring down as he tried so hard to get rid of them.

"Why?! Why did it have to be her?! Please, even of it is a lie. Please say those three words!" Kazemaru begged. He took out an orange cloth. He tried. He really did. But no matter how much he wanted to, he can't seem to forget.

Kazemaru sat on the bench next to endou as they watched the raimon team play. But his mind was elsewhere remembering the times when he was happy.

"Everyone, it's getting late so start changing alright" endou said. He was responded with a chorus of 'yes couch' After everyone changed, tenma, shinsuke, and shindou came up to them.

"Is it true?" Shinsuke asked. "Is what true?"

"That you're married to raimon natsumi"

Endou smiled at the name and said yes. Kazemaru wished he left earlier. "Hey couch, can i ask you a question?" Tenma asked. "Sure. What is it?"

"Did you have any past relationships?"

"No"

The three left before kazemaru could fall due to how weak his legs felt. So was everything that was dear to him meant nothing? Endou started walking away. 'Just like last time'

"Hey kazemaru. Please go out with me" he agreed and never felt so happy.

Endou kissing kazemaru on the lips.

"Here. I want you to keep this" endou said as he gave his boyfriend his orange headband.

The first time they made out.

"I love you"

Kazemaru got up and his hand reached out and this time, it caught endou's sleeve. "Hm, kazemaru? What is it?" Tears pouring down again, he found his voice.

"I still love you so please endou. Please tell me those three words again. Please say that you love me"
