"Did you lose your blue game thingy?" _____ asked, "I thought you used to play with that a lot."
"I finished them. It gets boring to replay it too." Kenma said.
Video games are nothing compared to the happiness I get from _____. Why should I bother bringing them? She raised my standards up. Anything that used to make me feel happier before has turned bland and tasteless now. Kenma thought.
"Oh that makes sense." _____ said, "Hey Kuroo-san, do you play video games like Kozume-kun?"
He chuckled, "Oh no, I don't usually play them. They're fun, but there's other things I enjoy a little more."
He's referring to volleyball isn't he? _____ thought.
"Do you like video games _____ chan?" Kuroo asked, _____ nodded her head. "Well you could go on an arcade date with Kenma sometime or something." He snickered.
Their faces heated up.
"Shut up." Kenma looked away. That would be, amazing. A day with _____. But, why would Kuroo suggest it? It makes it sound like I asked him to say that or something and I just couldn't ask myself...
"You-you didn't have to say it like that!" _____ exclaimed.
Kuroo laughed. He was sure Kenma had a crush on _____. It was pretty obvious. They would be cute together too.
"Why not though? You guys both like them right?" Kuroo asked.
"Well, it would be fun! But uh, Kenma might get bored of it or something."
"Nah, Kenma wouldn't if you're there. Right?"
"Yeah..." He muttered.

"Oh, thank you for walking _____ home!" Her mother exclaimed, "Are you her volleyball friends?"
"Yeah!" Kuroo said, "I'm actually the captain. My names Tetsurou Kuroo. This guys our setter." He pointed at Kenma.
"Kenma Kozume." He introduced himself
"Oh I know you now! I'm glad you're friends with _____ again." She smiled
Kuroo was about to add something but Kenma glared at him so he stayed quiet.
"Well, we gotta head to our own homes ourself. See ya!"
"They're very well mannered. I see you're hanging out with Kenma again. I see him around here a lot." _____'s mom smiled.
I never see him around here what do you mean-?
"Yep! I'm glad to be friends with them." She chuckled. "They're fun to be around."

(Kenma POV:)
1 hour. It's been 1 hour ever since I saw her.
The more I talk to her, the more I want to be around her. But... I can't go to her house right now. I feel like I'll go crazy without her damn it! I just want to talk to her, to see her-
That's right. I should've thought of it earlier. I pulled out my cellphone. My hand shook. What do I say to her? Do I ask her how she is? Would it annoy her? What does she like? Wait she plays games right? Yeah... but what do I do? Do I suggest a game? Do I ask to play one online?
I threw my phone down. Why can't I do this right!?
I called her.
"Oh hi Kozume-kun!!!"
"Hey."
"Why'd you call? Did you want to study or something?"
"No, I was wondering if you could recommend me a game."
"Oh!! Ok, ok. Uhhh like what system?"
"I have a PlayStation 4, Switch, and a laptop."
"Oh, I think you might like this one game. It's a JRPG with a turned based system, it's really pretty and I think another version came out recently! It's called Persona 5, I think you'd like it."
She sounds so excited. It's so cute, I love it.
"Where'd you get your copy?"
"GameStop, but you can borrow mine! I finished it. There's multiple save files you can use. I can drop it off right now I think!"
"Oh, ok."
"What's your address again? I don't remember it."
I texted her my address.
"419..." She muttered, "Okk!! I'll be over soon!Bye!" She hung up.
I felt something different this time from her call. I could feel myself longing for her, more and more.
I was so ecstatic when I found out it saves the call. I listened to her voice on repeat until she I heard her knock.
"Hi Kozume-kun, here's the game. It's not the Royale one though." She handed it to me.
"That's fine." I replied. What do I do now? Do I invite her in? She came over here, what do I do-
"Do you want to go to a arcade sometime this weekend?" She asked, "Preferably Saturday."
"Oh, sure. What time?" I asked.
"Um... I guess 11? Is that ok?"
"Yeah sure." I didn't have any plans, any that I would've had weren't important enough for this anyways.
"Oki, see you tomorrow Kozume-kun!" She dashed off.
I examined the case, she touched this... Right after, I remembered. I went through my back, taking out her drawings, and other stuff I was able to take.
Putting them in my drawer, there they were. It could've looked like trash to anyone else, but these are special.
A mechanical pencil, lollipop stick, and... strands of hair.
Amazing. Being able to spend time with _____, and having so much stuff of hers. It makes me feel content.
But should I tell Kuroo about my plans with her? There doesn't seem to be harm in telling him, but I don't want him to tell others.
Then, I remembered them. And I remembered I had bigger things to take care of.

A/N:
I'm sorry for the shorter chapter! Also sorry it was really weird, this was probably one of my not as good chapters (but writing at 3 AM might've affected that.)
Hopefully you guys enjoy it! I really love writing this book, so I hope you love reading it!
