Kenjiro Shirabu Wants to Confess to Me

Please read the content warnings, thank you! ovo Hope you enjoy! [Shirabu Kenjiro x Matsushima Wakaba] In our second year of high school, my childhood friend, who had an incredibly different side to him, confessed to me. But I only thought of him as a friend. It was quite a dilemma. Shirabu Kenjiro lowered his head and said gently, "Then can I pursue you, Wakaba?" He held my hand tightly. I nodded, and my hand felt a little hot. My heart... did too. * I'm a flutist in the marching band, and he's the setter for the volleyball team. I'm a humanities student, and he's a science student. Unless we'd gone out of our way to make it happen, our high school lives should have had nothing to do with each other. But... Whenever I curled up in a corner of campus and daydreamed; whenever I sat alone, biting into a dry croissant; whenever I didn't want to go home because the house would be empty... Shirabu would always pat my shoulder and say, "Let's do it together." If we're together, we won't be lonely. "Kenjiro..." I stared at him with my somewhat vacant eyes. "How about we just get married?" "Huh?" I saw his cheeks turn red enough to explode. His expression was so funny, too. * After that, for some reason, Kenjiro always seemed listless. When I learned that Ushijima-senpai was the reason he kept zoning out, I taught myself how to spike and cut for half a year. At the school sports festival, I made an absolutely amazing shot. Like the protagonist of a hot-blooded shonen manga, I recited my line: "Kenjiro, if Ushijima-senpai doesn't value your sets, then set for me from now on." "I'll spike every single one!" Shirabu Kenjiro: "..." Shirabu Kenjiro: "Wakaba, did you misunderstand something?"

[Emphasis] My beloved childhood friends and mutual salvation OOC, very OOC. Love is wonderful, but it makes people stupid. Two people with strange ways of thinking fall in love. Basically, this is a fluffy little story I wrote for fun, so there will be lots of logical errors. I have no outline and write whatever comes to mind. If you get on my wavelength, I'll be so happy.
