Hey! Is everyone enjoying it? Well, this chapter was pretty difficult for me to finish it in a way that'd enjoy. But, after changing it about 3 times, that's the final result. The fourth chapter is completely written in my head, but I'll only post it on the next weekend, 'cause I'll be in a school trip this Friday and I'll come back on Saturday's night.

Please comment as much as you want on this chapter, 'cause it was pretty rough for me to write it. Thank you so much for reading it, I just love seeing you people enjoying my writing :3

Our walk was comfortably silent, but I noticed that redheaded had a slight frown on his features as we were closer from going separated ways.

"Have I done anything wrong?" he broke the silence, his voice sounding worried.

My eyes widened as I stared at him, his eyes looking just as worried as his voice. What did he meant with something like that, so out of the blue?

"Why you think that something happened, Kagami-kun?" I stopped right in front of him, my head tilted to one side.

In a quick move, the redheaded's hands were lightly holding my face, forcing me to look to his eyes. His steady breathing was close to my slightly parted lips, making my face turn into a dark red hue as I panicked with the small distance between our lips. What on earth he was doing? Was he trying to kill me? I could hear my heartbeats thundering inside my chest, making it harder to breathe right.

"K-Kagami-kun? What's wron…" the touch of Taiga's forehead against mine made me gasp in the middle of my sentence.

"You're quieter than usual since we left MJ's and I wonder why." he whispered, his breathing hitting my lips in every said word while his dark red orbs stared deeply my light blue ones.

He was too close. Taiga was just way too close for his own good. Holy fuck, how badly I wanted to end the distance between our lips, just dying to taste him once. But I couldn't do it. I just couldn't do it, not while hearing all my sane self yelling at me to get a grip.

In a desperate try of containing the inhuman urge of kissing the redheaded, I closed my eyes tightly as I tried to free myself from the firm, but gentle grip of his hands. Tried.

"Why you keep holding every single thing to yourself, Kuroko?" without removing his hands from my cheeks, I could feel his forehead leaving mine.

"I'm not mad at you, really! And besides," I gave a small sigh and looked at those hot red orbs looking into the deeps of my soul. "i-it's getting late and we should get g-going!"

"You know that I'll keep fucking with your head 'til you tell me what's wrong, right?" Oh, c'mon. He doesn't even needed to try too hard to get with my head completely fucked up.

"I'm quite aware of it, can you let me go home now?" I asked him in a whining tone, glaring at him as mad as I could manage. I knew that my thoughts wouldn't stop getting all messed up until those warm hands were away from me. "I promise that I'll tell what it is tomorrow!" I snapped.

"Hold on a goddamned sec, Tetsuya! What do you mean with "I'll tell what it is tomorrow"?" a desperate voice screamed at the back of my mind, making my eyes widen with awareness of what I just did.

Oh, fuck's sakes. I've just dug my own grave.

With a sigh of relief, Kagami-kun finally released me from his gentle grasp. A joyful look softened his features, making me blush a deep red as my mouth gapped open.

"I'm going this way now, see you tomorrow." He said while turning on his heels, making me face his back as he started to walk away.

"K-Kagami-kun, wait!" I called him, but he quickly disappeared in the middle of the street's crowd.

Swearing under my breath, I kept my head down as I walked, my eyes glued to the sidewalk. What should I suppose to do? Cut class and training? Get me transferred to another school? Run away from Tokyo and becoming a hobo at some random town?

After getting home and taking a quick shower, I tried to think in what I should say to Kagami-kun. Maybe I should just use the "I'm-oh-so-tired-that's-why" excuse, but I knew that he wasn't going to bite that one so easily. Maybe I should just tell him that I'm in love with him.

I could almost hear the click inside my head as I thought about confessing. I just couldn't keep lying about my feelings to the red haired, he's finally seeing through the cracks on my emotionless way of protection and lying about it would only make him even angrier with me for bottling all of it inside of me.

Even that he started to hate for loving him, I just needed to stop hiding every single emotion at the back of my mind.

"That's it, I'll stop thinking so much and just tell him what my true feelings are." I though with a confident smile spreading on my face as I succumbed to the first night of peaceful sleep after months of anxious insomnia.

Again, on that night, my dreams were filled with those dark red orbs. But, on that night, those beautiful eyes were sparkling brighter than ever, like they were smiling by looking at me.
