I found myself enjoying Kiyoomi-san's company while strolling in this crowded theme park that we're in. Though he has his usual scowling, masked-on face, I could tell just from his eyes whenever I meet his gaze that he's having fun somehow.
"Do you want to rest for a bit? I doubt that those three idiots will settle down any minute now." Akaashi-san said apologetically to us, pertaining Hinata, Atsumu-san and Bokuto-san who's like a wild animal that got out of their cages since this morning.
I was about to say that it's fine when Kiyoomi-san answered.
"Then just message us where to meet for dinner. I'll go ride in Ferris Wheel with Kei first." He said that made me look at him.
Akaashi-san teasingly smiled at me and nod before he left us. I could feel my face burning in embarrassment on how he deliberately ships me with Kiyoomi-san. In all of my high school friends, I could say that Akaashi-san is the only person I consult with my issues outside volleyball.
That's why he knows that I'm having a convenient relationship with Kiyoomi-san just like how I had it with Kuroo-san before. He also knew what I feel for Yamaguchi that's why I don't understand why he starts shipping me with this perverted germaphobe. Besides, he knew that I will never ever engage myself in a serious relationship with the same sex.
There are only a few people who wanted to ride the Ferris wheel since it's getting dark and most of the people who visits the theme park probably ride it first, so we didn't wait long in line. I don't know why I feel so nervous when the Ferris wheel starts moving. I'm not afraid of heights and I'm used to being alone with him, but why does it feel different?
I tried to avoid looking at him but my eyes won't stop staring at his now bare face watching the scenery below. I really like it when he's not covering his face with that mask of his but the sight of him watching the sunset with a serene expression is the best sight that I've seen so far.
"Kei... Stop looking at me like that. You're stirring me up." He said with a wide grin on his face when he looked at me.
I frown to hide my embarrassment. "I'm not staring at you!" I exclaimed that just made him laugh.
It doesn't make sense why I find his laugh amusing lately. Maybe it's because he only does things like this when it's just the two of us or maybe...
Stop it! You're not falling! You're just being swayed because you're lonely! My mind stopped me from thinking farther.
"I'm having fun...spending time with you like this. What about you? Did you have fun?" Kiyoomi-san asked that made a mess in the blood flow of my heart, making my heartbeat exceeds the normal range.
I am sure that it is not the same feeling I have for Yamaguchi. It feels different. It's warm, blissful and serene but at the same time more alarming. Because I don't feel like running away. And that's what scares me more, because I might break that one and only rule that I made for the both of us.
I don't feel like ending what we have now even in the future.
"I had fun." I said in almost like whisper way without looking away from his gaze.
He smiled. "That's enough. Knowing you had fun... it was worth it." He murmured the last set of words but enough for me to hear.
He remained silent until we meet up with our friends for dinner like nothing happened so I did the same. Although his silence is killing me because I can't read what's going on his mind. He acted normal during dinner and talk to me from time to time asking random stuffs about my volleyball team that made Akaashi-san teased me through text.
From: Bokuto's Keiji
You look good together.
Shut up!
Hahaha! You sure you won't fall to that perverted germaphobe of yours? You looked like you already did, to me.
I WON'T! AND I'M NOT!
I bet yams didn't even crossed your mind today.
Stop it Akaashi-san!
You can't make me. Cause you looked like you're having fun, Tsuki.
Well, you guessed right about it. I had fun.
But it's not because of him alright!
It's just, it's been a while since I went out.
With my friends.
But you two really looked good together. Change my mind.
Stop it! Don't give weird ideas to my already tainted mind!
Hahahahaha! Admit it Tsuki, you're falling.
I said I'm not! Okay? I don't know. Argh!
I'm not! I won't fall in love with him.
Are you convincing me or yourself?
Whatever. Just don't run away this time.
Not all relationships with the same-sex won't work out.
You'll never know if you haven't taken the first step yet.
I want you to be happy too, Tsukki.
And...
And?
I want my ship to sail smoothly.
I couldn't help but smile to that message of his. I bet some people didn't know how playful Akaashi-san is, and how much he loves to act as a matchmaker. I wanted to ignore his last message, but he kept on spamming me with text if I don't reply right away that's why our conversation about me and Kiyoomi-san continues until we called it a night. Only Atsumu-san plans to stay the night in Hinata's so we all walked to the train station to part there since we all have different routes.
"My train is here. I'll go ahead. Take care!" I said when we arrived at the train station just at the right moment for the train routed to my apartment came.
I thought that Kiyoomi-san will go back in Tokyo with Bokuto and Akaashi-san since we don't plan anything after this. That's why I was surprised when he gets on the train with me leaving our friends in awe.
"Are you planning to leave me alone?" Kiyoomi-san asked in a dangerous tone without looking at me. He has his mask on but I could tell that he's mad about something.
"We don't have any plans after this so I thought you'll go home after." I answered him acting complacent to his change of mood.
He didn't say a word after that and even though it's making me anxious the whole time, I can't really tell why his mood changed when he was acting just fine earlier. I wanted to make a conversation but his silence is making it hard to speak.
Did I mess up or something?
He remained silent until we got into my apartment that's why I was caught off guard when right after we enter my apartment, he grabbed me by the hand and pinned me with his body and the door behind me, leaving only a small space between us to breathe.
I am taller than him but right now, I feel smaller while he's looking at me with those piercing eyes of his, making me perturbed to his actions.
I fucked up, Ain't I?
"What's my rule Kei?" He asked that made me mentally cussed myself when I realized what I did wrong.
"No phone when we're together." I replied calmly even though I feel like my knees are getting weak with the way he looked at me right now.
He looked dangerous... Dangerously hot.
"Who was it? The person who could make you smile like that?" He asked but before I could even answer, my phone rings and Yamaguchi's name flashes on screen that made his glare into void.
"What do I expect? Of course, it's him." Kiyoomi-san said with disappointment written on his eyes and move away from me.
"It's not what you think." I tried to explain but he just looked at me blankly. The kind of look that he used to give to someone he's not interested to interact with.
"It doesn't really matter what I think, Kei. We're just fuck buddies. So, whoever you wanted to spread your legs to, doesn't concern me at all."
I feel like I've been slapped so hard in the face with his spiteful words. I feel like crying. I want to punch him but I won't give him the satisfaction to see me hurt, to see me get affected with his words.
I smirked at him. "Exactly. Whoever I text doesn't concern you at all. So, don't act like you own me. Or are you falling in love with me so you're acting like a jealous boyfriend now?"
He just looked at me blankly and spouted me these words before he left and leave me with an excruciating feeling in my heart that I never did once felt with Yamaguchi before.
"Why? Do you think I will fall in love with a fucked-up person like you?"
