A Cozy Life With Pudding || Kozume Kenma

1 - Our Start

It's college. Pretty tough for anyone. Of course, you always try to do your best. You wouldn't been able to do your best without your boyfriend, Kenma Kozume. You first met him at your 1st year at Nekoma as the boys' volleyball team's manager. His personality is just like yours, shy and reserved. He wasn't very approachable at all. However, he had opened up to you during that same year. You opened a lot more and became more talkative with him. You both have a common interest. Games, of course. It piqued his interest in you and managed to become best friends until third year. "Until third year" was when you both started to go out...

—————

"Ahh... I don't really want to go to university. It will be difficult to meet now." You complained, giving a heavy sigh. A feeling of sorrow came to you, realizing that you might not be able to be with Kenma anymore. "What university are you going to, Kozume?"

Kenma gave you a brief glance with his cat-shaped golden eyes from his video games. He broke off his glance to back to his games and replied, "XXX University."

It shocked you when he gave that response. "Eh? I'm going there too!" The disappointment that showed up on your face disappeared with just that response. You gave a slight smile in attempt to cover your overwhelming happiness.

"It would be boring if I can't meet you anymore. I'll miss you." he said which surprised you even more. It was shocking that he never really opened all of his feelings to you. Somehow knowing that he will miss you brought you relief. You maintained your composure with the poker face, but a single tear escaped from your eye. Kenma noticed that tear which widened his eyes. His expression brought surprise to you and more tears trailed down. He put down his game console and hesitantly crawled over to you. You couldn't help, but sob. In embarrassment, you dropped your whole head down with your hair draping over to cover it. Your arms acted like an extra shield to him.

It was obvious that you didn't want to be seen and stuttered, "I-I'm sorry..." When he was about to reach over to you, he hesitated with a troubled expression. However, he no longer faltered and gently grabbed your arms. Kenma unfolded your arms that was covering your ugly, crying face. "I-I'm causing t-trouble... sorry..." He let go of your arms and reached for your hands. It surprised you once again by his unexpected actions. His right hand reached over to your cheek and used his thumb to wipe down your tears. His left hand was there to hold your hand for comfort. Your head finally raised up to look at Kenma's face. You felt comforted by his touch.

"Don't cry. I'm here if you need to hear your worries." Those comforting words warmed you and felt like crying more. "Ah, you're crying more."

You cried, "I'm s-sorry... It's just... I'm a lot more relieved to know we're going to the same university... I have to admit, but it would be really boring if we were separated. I miss you a lot. I really hate the idea to not see you anymore. I thought that 3 years at Nekoma wasn't enough with you. I still want to be here with you even after graduating. Games with you isn't enough. I'm being extremely selfish. I just want to stay here with you. I like you a lot." Your emotions flowed out and you felt like bursting out even more in tears. You're aware of how the words of 'I like you' can ruin the 3 year friendship you built up, but keeping in your ocean of feelings felt more hurtful.

You felt a hand crawling up to your (h/c) locks which brought your teary eyes up to look at Kenma's face. His cheeks were becoming red, as well as his exposed ear.

"(L/N), that's why I applied to the same university as you. I hate the idea of going our own separate ways, different universities. I thought that if I can follow you in university, I can be with you longer. I feel as selfish as well. I don't know how you can like someone with me who can barely show any emotions. I always wonder if you're happy with someone like me, but if you confess that you like me..." He gently rested his forehead on yours, gazing at your (e/c) eyes. "I like you too... even if I might not be a very good person, would you still go out with me knowing that?"

Your eyes started to tear up more and closed them up with the overflowing tears coming out of embarrassment. You covered your face with your hands and muttered, "I... still would." You can still feel that gentle touch that swept away your tears.

"It was the start of your relationship."
