I was thinking of Kuroko no Basuke when this story came out of mind. Sorry if the story is not that great because I'm not good at expressing myself in words.
The reader is depressed and a quiet type. This occurred in Teiko era. (Image is not mine)Play the youtube video in a loop as background music. It will give you the feels.
----------------------------------------------
"(Name)-chan, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay", I said as I smile
But deep inside, I'm breaking apart to pieces
Why am I like this?
Why am I always alone and isolated every time?
Why am I alive if no one need or care for me in this world?
Why am I searching for the meaning of life? My life?
And why do I wish for death?
Those were the questions that are constantly spinning in my mind. Questions that continuously break my broken heart every passing day. Questions that slowly torture me death every second. Questions that makes me scream silently in the corner. And the questions which are still unanswered up until now.
It was getting dark as the clock ticks. '6:20 pm'. It's raining heavily outside the school, so classes are automatically suspended. And I am currently at the entrance of the school because I stayed a little bit in the library reading some fantasy novels that helps me escape the real world. However, after noticing it was raining cats and dogs outside the library windows, I quickly went to my locker to grabbed my umbrella.
And I found out it was missing. Again. It is alright, and I feel nothing about it. I'm already used to being taken advantage of any form of kindness towards people who need help and never return the favour or say a simple thank you. And also used to fake friendship because they just need your help.
However, everyone does that except for him. He doesn't take advantage or left me alone in the corner like everyone and always stay by my side as he asks if something is bothering me.
"(NAME)-CHII~!!!" Someone shouted from afar as the person runs towards me wearing that usual smile of him.
"Kise-kun......" I murmured.
"Don't you have an umbrella? If you don't, then we can share mine and walk to our houses since your house is just four blocks from mine." He casually invited wearing that goofy angelic smile.
Why can he always wear that smile that he regularly does for his fans? Isn't he getting tired of smiling?
"Thank you for the invitation, but I can just wait for the rain to stop." I replied making him abruptly responded to my statement.
"EHH!!! But it's raining heavily, and I wouldn't allow you to wait here until it stops. LET'S GO (NAME)-CHII~!!!" He happily chirped as he grabbed my right wrist and opened his black umbrella.
"But my parents is not even at the house waiting for me, so---"
"So it means that you can spend the day at my house. My sisters are not in the house either, so we can do what we want all day."
Why can't he just stop doing this thing for me?
******
"Sorry, (Name)-chii. I used my umbrella, but I still got you soaked under the rain." He apologised as he immediately opened the house's door with his spare key.
"It's okay. Umm.......Kise-kun?"
"Hmm?" He hummed in response as he lay his umbrella beside the wall and quickly run through the house to grab some towels from the laundry room.
"Would you mind if I ask to stay here for a bit since its getting worse outside?" I asked shyly because its the first time I would be sleeping over a friend's house.
"I wouldn't mind and would be great because I don't want to be alone in the house you know." He pouted. He looks so adorable when he pouts that you just want to hug him. "I'll just get some clothes so you can change. I wouldn't want you to get sick." He marched upstairs as I stand beside the couch since I am soaked, and I can't just sit on it with my wet clothes.
After some minutes, Kise went down and gave me clothes. His clothes. He gave me a grey sweatshirt and black jogging pants which were obviously too large for me.
"Kise-kun, isn't this too big for me?" I asked pulling the long sleeves of his sweatshirt making him blush as he gazes at me wearing his clothes when I stepped out of the bathroom. "Kise-kun???" I repeated while tilting my head to the side which made him even more embarrassed. Did I say anything wrong?
"U-um. I-It fit-ts y-you well. Y-you loo-ok c-cute." He commented as he covered his flustered face with his right hand as he looks at me.
'I want to hug (Name)-chii right now! She looks so adorable~!' Kise said in his mind
"T-thank you" I feel that my face turning red matching Akashi-kun's hair. It was a long silence when a loud thunder roared startling me in fear. "Kise-kun, can I ask of where would I sleep?"
"Ah! Upstairs!" He led me up there and pointed my room where I would sleep.
"Thank you again for everything." I silently whispered to him, as my lips curved into a small smile.
*****
I couldn't sleep as the thunder keeps roaring outside. I was in a corner where I cried silently remembering every sorrowful piece of my life.
Thunder. The loud booming sound frightens me as it made me remember what my parents and friends have always told me.
Worthless.
Useless daughter.
Ugly.
Dumb.
A piece of garbage.
It all comes back to me.
How I wish I could be dead. Why couldn't I just die?! No one appreciates my presence. No one cared and loved me. No one wants a useless garbage like me. No one.
Living makes me feel like I'm slowly killed by my agony and suffering. It hurts how I feel so worthless because I can't do anything right. It pains me to hear that I am a useless daughter from my parents because I can't follow everything they said. Also, hearing that I am a piece of garbage from my trusted best friends who left me alone as they have no use for me anymore. I can't live like this my whole life. I just can't.
I was crying when Kise suddenly opened the door looking for me. His eyes landed on my curled figure around the corner and walked towards me.
I quickly wiped my tears, but it keeps falling on my cheeks. Kise stopped in front of me and kneeled down with a worried look as he holds my cold hands.
"S-sorry *sniff*Kise-kun. D-did I bot-ther you?"
He didn't respond but instead enveloped me in a warm tight hug. I felt his warm body pressed on my shivering figure.
Then he stated the words I've been waiting forever for my whole life.
"Stop pretending that you're okay because I know your not. Stop acting like your happy when you're breaking inside. Stop smiling when I am aware that your crying in agony alone. Please stop it because it hurts me to see you like this"
"K-kise..."
"Shh." He grabbed my shoulders and stared directly into my eyes. "I know this is not the most appropriate time to do this but (Name), I like you. No, erase that. I love you. I was in love with you the first time I've laid my eyes you at that cafe. The way your lips curve into a smile makes me 100x happier and brightens my day. The way you're always prepared to help others makes me love you even more. But the way you cry silently in a corner makes me feel pathetic because I can't even approach you. I'm scared because I might say words that will only add to your sorrow. (Name), I love you. Please let me stay beside you. " He sincerely stated as he started crying in front of me. His gentle words make my heart race and feel loved, for once.
"I love you too, Kise." Then he immediately captured my lips into a passionate kiss after hearing the words he wanted to hear. Tears were falling on our faces, but I know that we both feel butterflies in our stomach bursting out. My heart continues to flutter against my chest within each passing second. It was a soft sensation as we feel warmth at each other lips.
"Thank you so much for saving me."
Kise smiled, but his smile is different to what I've always seen at the school. I've seen every kind of his smile. Gentle, adorable, nervous, embarrassed, enjoyed and awkward smile but now it was a sincere and loving smile.
"Can I kiss those tears away?"
*****
Extended ending:
(Name) was preparing to sleep when Kise climbed the bed and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"(Name)-chii, remember what I said before?" He seductively asked as he closes the gap between their faces.
"No. What is it?"
"No one is in the house except us. Therefore, we have it all to ourselves. "
I'll let your minds take over~...
