"Tetsuya-kun, I love you!" are the words I always tell him. I know that deep inside that emotionless face of him, he's smiling. I have never seen him smile, like ever.
As days pass by, I'm actually thinking that he accepted my feeling out of pity. He doesn't even make an effort or anything, always focusing on basketball. I can't blame him though, he loves basketball that much.
Then one day, I confronted him.
"Tetsuya." I said, monotonously, with a serious face. I tried to imitate him at least.
"Yes (name)-san?" he said, still wearing that poker face of his.
"D-do you love me?" I asked, desperately trying to fight back tears.
"Why are you asking all of a sudden?" he replied back calmly. In this kind of situations, you should not be calm, I mean, you should be worried right?
"Did you accept my feelings out of pity?" I asked again, tears already streaming down my face. I swear I look like some sick puppy right now.
"No." came the reply, not even a hint of anything in his voice.
"Then why are you making me feel that way?!" I'm probably shouting at him right now, all these feelings I have for him, so much that it hurts.
"I'm sorry I made you feel that way, I didn't mean to." He said, looking at me straight in the eyes.
Okay that's it.
"Let's end this Tetsuya. Thanks for trying to love me. Good bye." With that, I turned my back to him and started to walk away. I wouldn't dare look back because I don't want to make my crying worse than it is right now. But then, a hand suddenly caught my wrist and pulled me into a hug.
"I- I love you… I really do…" he said, his arms tightening their grip on me. I turned around and saw him, cheeks red, eyes watery. This is so out of his character.
"Please don't break up with me. I'll make it up to you." His voice cracked as he said those words. Me on the other hand, couldn't fight back the emotions in me and grabbed him into a hug, burying my face on his jersey.
"I love you Tetsuya, so much…" I whispered against his chest. He smelled like vanilla. He slightly pushed me and grabbed my chin. And for the first time in my life, I saw him smile. He smiled, for me. And then he leaned forward, our lips touching. It was the most wonderful feeling I ever had.
And unknown to us, some members of the basketball club managed to see our moment. Trust me, it became the talk in the clubroom when we got back.
