[ Backstory 2 ]
Last day of school

"You sure?"
Ohta said

"Why not, it's for the best. I'll tell him before we part ways"
You smiled and walked away to find akaashi

"Oh Y/N! What brings you here?"
He said, sitting at the courtyard behind the school

"Akaashi" "I like you"
You exclaimed, giving it your all

He paused and took a deep sigh.
"I'm sorry.. I'm already dating someone else"

"What.."
You took a step behind and started to tear up, but you took a deep sigh and raised your head high

"I'm so sorry I couldn't tell you right away"
He said

"Aha.. Nah it's okay, things happened"
You gave him a big smile, and ran away. You were embarrased, I honestly just wanted to dissapear in that moment

You knew he was lying, you knew he liked you back. But why..? Why did he have to lie about such a thing? Or maybe I was the one lying to myself, saying he liked me back but the truth is that he didn't.

[ The ceremony began ]

You sat next to Ohta and fixed your hat

"How'd it go?"
He said

"Not what I'd expect"
You said, looking down, emotionless

"Oh.. I see"
He said, he didn't bother you for the moment because he knew what happened

[ Akaashi's POV ]

He was seated across the room, staying away from the two. I'm starting to regret what I'm about to do.. but it's for the best, yeah?

You know,, nothing has made me sadder than imagining myself not seeing you ever again.

"Ohta, see you in the future, maybe"
You said

"You too.. senpai"
He tried so hard not to cry, you just gave him a big smile. He started to tear up

"My.. You're such a crybaby Ohta"
You chuckled as you hug him tight. You started to tear up as well because you know this is the end of our friendship.

Everyone started to pack up, you and Ohta decided to walk home together. For the last time.
You met eyes with akaashi and you immedietly looked away.

How do you know when it's over?
Maybe you'll meet him in the future, or maybe not. Not ever, or maybe a light will bring us back together. You don't know what the future holds.

"He lied didn't he"
Ohta whispered

"Most likely"
You replied blankly

I see the way he looks at her. Like she's the best thing that's ever happened to him, but I see the way she looks at him, with fear in her eyes that he could walk out at any moment.

I know that look.

Afraid to lose someone you loved. But if only she could see the way he looks at her. Losing her would mean he lost his whole world.

I'm starting to regret what I said to her, I didn't thought about it, I need more time. I didn't thought I girl like her would ever love a guy like me. It was a mistake, hurting you

I should've confess back. Now I'll regret this day with my entire life.

"Yo akaashi, you okay?"
His classmate patting him by the shoulder

"Ah.. yeah"
He mumbled

"Say, the petite girl from class A-2, rumors said that she confessed to you by the courtyard. Did you say yes??"

"Ha? Of course I said no. Why would I ever date her"
He said, he always runs away at reality. He just wants to escape in that time

"Tough luck huh"
They said, they pat you by the shoulder yet again. And proceeded to walk away

"Akaashi-senpai.."
Ohta standing right behind him, witnessing all of it.

"Ohta?"
He said, shocked. Then he gazed at you noticing that you were about to cry, his eyes widened

"Y/N"
He felt uneasy

"What did I ever see in you?"
You said blankly, you grabbed Ohta's arm and walked away.

There's a reason for everthing. A reason we met, a reason you lied, a reason I kept hanging on, a reason you didn't care, a reason I ignored everyone who knew better, a reason for what you said, a reason for what I did, and even a reason for pain. Right now, that reason is beyond me. But someday, when I meet the right person; the guy who will treat me right, cherish me, and love me with everything he has, then will I know the reason. And then maybe I'll be able to find the strength to say, "thank you"
