Akaashi Keiji X Reader One Shots!

Again

Kuroo Tetsurou, practically perfect.

Incredibly smart and athletic, with a suave voice that could melt me instantly.

The adorable bedhead and the snarky grin never failed to brighten up my day.

I was so deeply intrigued by him.

Yet he, also was intrigued by himself.

His arrogance drove most of the competition away, except for me. I found it so alluring.

It was obvious that I was smitten for the boy, but I still tried to keep it a secret to everyone.

I was walking home from school one day when I saw him and one of my closest friends together. I don't blame Kuroo; my friend really was gorgeous.

I almost forgot how to breathe; it suffocated me. My heart clenched together and my stomach churned. Yet, I held in my tears until the same night.

I cried myself to sleep.

The next day, I had interrogated my friend on what happened. Kuroo had asked her out; but she said no.

I remember my shaky voice asking her why she said no when she told me what had happened. It was then that I knew whatever I felt for him would be unrequited.

Despite knowing so, I couldn't help but admire from afar. My eyes were stuck to him like glue; I couldn't look away no matter how hard I tried.

Kuroo had asked out one of my other friends a couple months later. She said yes.

It hurt.

It hurt, so, so much.

It hurt so much I forgot how to breathe.

I managed to put on a smile, congratulated her, and pulled her into a hug with my shaky hands.

I know that Kuroo knew that I liked him. What could he do about it, though? He didn't like me back, so it didn't really matter. He was free to do what he wanted.

Everything he did made an immense impact on me; he was the only thing that could turn my day around, for better or for worse.

I don't think he would ever know how much a simple smile could leave me flustered.

Kuroo had hung out with my friends more often, because his girlfriend had many mutuals with me.

I was always in a bad mood; jealousy, envy, and sadness enveloped me, yet nobody knew.

I grew silent; it was hard to talk. One day, Kuroo had asked me a question.

"Why do you stalk me? Please, just stay away from me."

Really, I never did stalk him. It was just bits and pieces I remembered from our small conversations.

I froze up when he asked me that. Humiliated, I left.

I stopped talking to most of my friends, due to Kuroo usually around.

Waking up from a good night's rest seemed so hard. I fell into a dark time.

But then, you, Akaashi Keiji, came along.

Transferred to my school in the beginning of the school year.

At first, it was a simple smile and a greeting in the hallway.

Then, we started to talk; more and more. I started to find myself wanting to get to know you better.

We started to hang out during breaks and then outside of school as well.

You had noticed that I liked Kuroo. You were an observant person, and my gazes lingered a little too long on him.
