You aren’t sure what it is but something is certainly bothering your
dear bestie. The boy (now man) you’ve grown up with is acting rather strange.
His face is even more scowlly than usual, a tenseness in his muscles that fills
you with unease.
“Tobio-kun,” you say slowly, “what’s wrong?”
Kageyama’s breath catches. His lungs burn, his heart aches; how
could he have let this happen? You’ve been right here, right here the whole
time and he never said anything! And now…now you belong to someone else. Or at
least you will, unless maybe…
In true Tobio fashion he looks you dead in the eye and blurts
out, “_____-chan, I’ve been in love with
you my entire life. Ever since the first day I met you.“ He sees your
eyes widen, your mouth opening and closing but no sound coming out. Before you
can get your voice to work he’s speaking again, “I know I’m an idiot, waiting
until now to tell you this, but…I
can’t let the rest of my life go on without having at least tried…even at the
last minute.”
You both glance to the diamond ring on your left hand. Tears
trail down your cheeks when you look back at him and he can see the answer in
your eyes. Because as much as Tobio means to you, you love Tooru.
