Silver Hearts | Sakusa Kiyoomi

41 | bittersweet

His mask may have been covering half of his face, but his eyes showed enough emotions for people to tell. Sour and almost unapproachable.

"You're finally awake," Komori laughed, a little too loud for Sakusa's comfort.

Sakusa scowled. "Shut up. You should have woke me up before you left."

"Well, you're here now. No need to get mad. (Y/N) is here, you should be jumping with joy!"

"I'm not mad, and what does (Y/N) have to do with—"

Komori raised his brows as a suggestive look adorned his face. Sakusa sighed. He felt sluggish. His movements were slower than usual, and his body felt heavy.

(Y/N) snickered at the interaction between the two. "Now, now, it's our last day in Hokkaido. We can't ruin it."

"You're so right (L/N)!"

That recognizable voice popped out of nowhere, slightly startling the trio. Before anyone could say anything, Matsushima had rested his arm onto Komori's shoulder. "Hey, hey!"

"Matsushima! It's been a while. We haven't seen you this whole trip." (Y/N) cheerfully greeted as usual.

"Yep! It's been pretty fun so far. I really wanted to go skiing, but the teachers wouldn't let me." Matsushima clenched his fist and brought it up to his chest as if he was dramatically crying.

"I'm sure you did lots of fun things that could replace skiing though. Anyways, what brings you here so suddenly?"

"Ah, I'm here to congratulate you two."

As soon as he said those words, all three of them cock their heads in bewilderment.

"What are you talking about—"

"You know, you and Sakusa." Matsushima pointed between the two.

Immediately, Sakusa glared at Komori, who could feel the gaze burning into his head. "I promise it wasn't me!"

"Sorry, I may have heard your conversation last night. I couldn't help but listen in." Matsushima nervously laughed, rubbing his neck in the process.

"How much did you hear?" Sakusa asked, words dripping with venom.

"Only the confession part, I swear."

(Y/N) couldn't help but bury her face into her hands again. The embarrassment was just too great.

"Why were you even out so late?" Komori couldn't help but interject with a question.

"I was hungry, you see." Matsushima cheekily grinned.

"That late?"

"It's never too late for food."

Komori deeply sighed. The secret between Sakusa and (Y/N) was in the hands of the most unreliable person he had known. A blabbermouth that couldn't keep a single secret for life.

"Don't worry about it. I'll keep my lips shut!" Matsushima performed a zipping motion with his hands along his lips and threw away what was presumably a key.

Sakusa could only give him an ice-quiet glare, knowing his ability to keep a secret was almost comparable to a kid. No, a kid could keep a secret better than him. Komori nervously laughed. So much for that statement.

"Well then, I better get going now. Shiroma-kun is probably looking for me now. See ya!" Matsushima waved at the three before scurrying off to find his friend.

For a moment, the three stood in silence. (Y/N) was still busy languishing about the moments before. Sakusa stood there, contemplating his life decisions and how he should keep Matsushima's mouth shut for good. Komori couldn't help but keep silent. The aura Sakusa was emitting made him think about his words carefully.
