Nishinoya knew how much he liked Mikoto, it's just that he didn't have enough courage to talk to her.
So he pined for her from afar, and oh, how torturous it was!
Then one day, she skipped school.
He brushed it off as her being sick.
Then the next day and the next- and before he realized it, almost a full blown month had gone by.
Mikoto thought she loved Nishinoya, so sure that she could continue to love him without really interacting.
She wasted away pining for him, not knowing he was doing the same.
Then one day, she finally had enough and ran out, bumping into Oikawa who listened to her and helped her see her self worth.
She skipped school the next day, and the next, and before she knew it, a full month had gone by without her attending school.
Tooru had hoped his one sided love would be returned, he just didn't realize how well he played his mask, hiding behind lies and acting.
Oh, he was sure his teammates would have seen through it, but no, they didn't care they never did.
The day his love skipped practice to spend time with their lover was the last straw- he had to get away from the toxic in the air.
Then one day, as he skipped school, he bumped into her- Inoue Mikoto- and listened to her story, extending a hand even if his battered heart couldn't take another betrayal.
And when she took his hand, his heart lightened for the first time in a very long time.
He skipped school the next day, then the next, and before he became aware of it, over a month had flew by with Mikoto at his side exploring and purging their souls of heartache.
So, my new year resolution is to write a chapter every month for all of my stories.
Also, I will probably be uploading a new My Hero Academia (Boku no hero academia) story. It's about a good father Enji accidentally going into canon!verse and yeah.
Read and enjoy this new chapter! P.S. I'm still working out a writing style, hopefully this one is similar to the other chapters!
