Kasamatsu:
"Senpaaaaaai! You are back!" The annoying Kise exclaimed, as he ran towards me.
I was ready to kick him when he throws himself at me... but he did not. It kind of hurt. After all, he was always senpai this and senpai that. I thought I was important to him, not that he would forget about me so easily.
"I am back, had to make sure you are not troubling your senpais" I said, but in reality I was just hiding my real motives.
What I was really doing is checking up on him, I missed his cheerful attitude and sunny smile. He really does brighten up someone's day... specially mine.
"Moo! You are so mean senpai!" He pouted, making me chuckle.
He really looks so adorable with that pout. I thought to myself, not daring to say it out loud.
"Congrats on taking the team to victory at the Inter High, pity you guys lost at the semi finals of the Winter Cup" I congratulated him.
"We did it as a team, senpai. I wouldn't have been able to do it without them" he told me. It warmed me inside seeing how much he had grown. It made me feel better about myself... for falling for a guy- he was worth it "I could not defeat Akashicchi, but MY Tetsuyacchi did it for me! He is truly the best!" He sighed dreamily.
I blinked a few times... did he just say MY? Tetsuyacchi? Who is that?!
"Not again" a first year commented, facepalming himself.
"Not again?... what did I miss?" I asked, to no one in particular.
It was Kise the one who answered me excitedly, waving his phone at me:
"I am dating Tetsuyacchi now! Look, look how good we look together! We are just like a family"
The photo was one of grinning Kise one arm wrapped around a blushing Kuroko, who is holding a puppy (with a stricking resemblance to Seirin's phantom), while the other one is taking a selfie of them.
They looked so happy... so in love...
I had to blink rapidly to chase the tears away, I could not break down in front of Kise. If before hand, I did not want him to know about my feelings less now.
I always knew I was not good enough for him, and now I was proven right. Of course, it was going to be Kuroko the one he would end up with. Kise has always been obsessed with him, it was also Seirin's shadow the one who brought the bond's love for basketall back. Not to mention, the teal head had the patience of a saint (he was really the only one who could stand the hyperactive blond without constantly hitting him) and was beautiful- he even models with Kise!
I was never a competition against someone like him... why would Kise want a plain and average guy like me when he has a drop dead gorgeous basketball prodigy? A member of the GoM for Kami-sama's sake!
"So, you finally got your boy, eh?" I finally said, cracking a smile for Kise not to suspect something was off.
"Yeah... he had always liked me back. Can you believe it? Me?! Not Aominecchi or Kagamicchi! I still can't believe an angel like him loves me. He called me his sunshine... I am his sunshine senpai!" He told me, voice thick with emotions.
I can believe it, trust me I do... after all you are my sunshine too... I thought, sadly.
"Well, I have to get going. I have a project due soon and haven't started yet" with that I turned around and left the gym, ignoring Kise calling out for me.
When I reached to the school's gate I saw Moriyama waiting for me.
"So, you found out" he said.
"You knew?" I acussed him "That's why you didn't want me to come"
"You are important to him... but not on the same as Kuroko. You are someone he looks up to, as a leader. Kuroko... Well, Kise has always been obsessed with him- long before he came to Kaijou. You knew that, but I think you didn't want to see it" Moriyama told me.
"I... I... I just liked him" I broke down in tears.
I soon found myself wrapped by Moriyama arms, my face into his chest and him murmuring the same thing over and over again:
"Let it go, don't worry I will be here for you"
Sometimes loving hurts like a bitch.
