~ Kasamatsu's POV ~

Throughout practice I increasingly noticed something wasn't right between the two. 'Are they hiding something?' I didn't want to think such thoughts but the way they're acting is too suspicious! So, I decided, I'm going to ask her after practice while we're walking home. I don't want to do this but... I'm curious as to what they're hiding.

It was after practice and we left together saying goodbye to the team. Kise's attempt was truly sad, and anyone could notice how hard he was trying. (Y/N) was too awkward around him, but so was he. 'This is making me even more curious! Argh! It's so frustrating!' I thought as I scratched the back of my head.

As we were walking in comfortable silence holding hands, I took a nervous gulp and decided to break the comfortable atmosphere. "(Y-Y/N).. I have something to a-ask you.." I said stuttering, feeling myself sweat. 'I'm sorry (Y/N), but it's really bothering me! Please forgive me if I make you upset!' I internally prayed. She looked at me curiously and replied, "Yes Yukio?" In her usual gentle voice.

"It's been bothering me, and my curiosity is getting more and more bigger. What happened between you two? Was it because of the talk you guys had after practice?" I asked, praying that she didn't get mad at me for being too nosy, and possibly breaking up with me.

She instantly paused, looking at me in what seemed surprise and horror. She then looked down at the ground, looking like she was going to cry! 'Oh god! Yukio look what you did! This is bad!' "You don't have to tell me! It's just It was kind of suspicious and I was concerned! I'm sorry..." I attempted to cheer her up and cover it up, but surprisingly she reacted different.

"Ah... I'm sorry, Yukio you deserve to know everything. It's not good to keep secrets in relationships huh? Sorry if I worried you... I... I need to show you something. But it can wait since it's getting pretty late. Are you free Saturday?" Her reply got me extremely nervous. I've seen this situation in movies, but it couldn't be right? 'Yukio what on earth are you thinking about! (Y/N) would never do that behind your back! That's horrible to even think of!'

I shook my head internally disapprovingly. "Ya... I'm free Saturday, so at your house? Or..." I tried to play it off cooly, but I bet it was in vain. "Yes, my house. I'm sorry this is happening Yukio... I really am... I didn't expect this to happen.." She said almost in a whisper voice, and I could tell she was on the verge of crying.

I instantly pulled her in for a hug, holding her as tight as I could, but being cautious as to not hurt her. I felt her arms encircle around my torso holding on just as tight as I am. I pulled one arm away to cup her face, so I could tell her straightforwardly. I whiped away her tears on her eyes, and gently caressed her damp cheeks.

"(Y/N)... Look at me. No matter what it is, I promise to continue loving you. Don't doubt my love for even a second." I looked into her ready eyes lovingly, causing her to continue to cry, but I'm hoping tears of joy? "Y-Yukio..." "Hey now, don't start crying again, I want to see you smile rather than cry." I playfully scolded her, which got me one of her bright smiles in the end.

We walked the rest of the walk home in pure bliss, walking as close as we could, holding hands. We got to her house, and I turned to her. "Remember, no matter what I'll love you." I said giving her a kiss on the cheek. She smiled and nodded, "I know now, and I'll do the same for you!" she smiled up at me.

Without noticing, we both were leaning in ever so slowly, and then it was like heaven. This wasn't our first of course, but we always treat it like it is. Gentle, soft, slow. We pulled away with both blushing faces, and said goodnight to each other and that we would text later.

Saturday came, and I was slightly nervous, but ready to accept all of (Y/N), even the mistakes she possibly could've made. I was ready to hear whatever happened that night, and ready to open my arms out for her to take security in. I arrived at her house, and the door opened to a woman, who looked a lot like (Y/N), in which I assumed was her mom.

"Oh? Are you perhaps Yukio?" She asked with a gleam of excitement in her eyes, I could tell (Y/N) got much of her traits from her mother. "Yes ma'am, that is me." I said as politely as I could, trying not to sound as nervous. She simply let out a laugh and replied, "Oh please, you don't have to be so polite! Call me (M/N)! Or even mom!"

"Mom! You're making him nervous! Yukio, glad you came." (Y/N)'s voice came behind her mother, and let me in. "Mom, we're going into my room, please refrain from bothering us." "My my, you're lucky your dad isn't home at the moment, he wouldn't be too pleased to hear that." (M/N) laughed.

As (Y/N) was taking me to her room, we heard her mother call back "Don't have too much fun!" Which caused us both to overheat. I was already super nervous, I've never been in (Y/N)'s room! And I'm getting ready to hear what she was going to show me.

We got into her room, and it wasn't anything too special, (F/C) walls and sheets, a couple posters here and there, and a television. "Well that was kind of awkward huh?" She slightly giggled, noticing I was still blushing slightly. "Y-ya, you're mom is very active, in a good way of course!" I said. "Ya she's always

been like that! Anyway... Yukio... Are you ready for me to show you?" She said hesitantly, and just as nervous as I was. But I decided to toughen up, for both me and (Y/N)! "Yes... I'm ready for whatever comes my way."

She got up, and searched through her closet, making me confused. 'She wants to show me something from her closet?' I asked internally utterly confused, but slightly curious and intrigued. (Y/N) pulled out a book, a yearbook to be exact, and it said 'Teiko Middle School' in big letters, the date from a year ago.

She noticed the look I gave her, and smiled almost sadly, and flipped to a page. She was looking through a class of students and pointed to one female. I got a better look at it, and noticed the similar features of the girl. "Can you guess who that it?" she said looking at the picture, almost ashamed, which confused me even more. "That's you isn't it?" I asked hesitantly, hoping not to offend her.

"That's right." She said nearly on the verge of tears. This shocked me and confused me even more! Why is she crying? She was cute back then just as she was now! "This... This ties into what Kise and I talked about that one day. We went to the same middle school, and I used to really like him. We even used to be somewhat close since we had all classes and sat by each other. But he changed, and when I tried to confess he shot it down like he didn't know me.

So that day he wanted to talk to me, he told me he figured out who I was, and apologized, and then..." She paused now a crying mess. I without a second pulled her into my embrace, and stroked the back of her back comfortingly. "You don't have to continue if it makes you upset. Please don't push yourself." I said gushing her cries.

"N-no... You deserve to know this! And I feel horrible for hiding it from you. He then confessed to me, and I told him I don't feel the same way as I did back then cause now I have you! But... I was so shocked.." She squeezed more into my chest as I continued to rub her back. 'So this is what she was so upset about?' I thought internally.

It was silent for a moment, but I broke the silence. "(Y/N)." I said softly, hoping to get her attention, but she continued to hide her face. "(Y/N)." I said more firmly hoping to get her attention again. She shook her head, "Do you want to break up now? I'd understand if you want to." "(Y/N)." "But I don't want to break up! I-I love you so much and-" I cut her off there, feeling my anger rise.

'How could she think so lowly of herself?' I thought in sadness. "(Y/N)!" I caught her attention in the raise of my voice causing her to snap out of it and finally look at me. "(Y/N) you expect me to break up with you over something so small? Is that what you think of my love for you?" I asked giving her a frustrated look, causing her to shake her head.

"(Y/N)... I said this before but I'm willing to accept everything about you, so what you didn't look like you do now? That's all in the past! You were still cute, and the same (Y/N)! Don't think for one second if you physically change, that I'll instantly break up with you! I'm not that shallow! And how could you think of yourself that lowly, you're the most beautiful human inward and outward! You mean the world to me! Please, believe in me, and have more confidence in yourself!"

I finished blowing off my steam, and snapped back to reality. I noticed she was looking me in shock and tears were leaking from her eyes. I looked at her in fear. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to raise my voice at yo-" before I could finish my sentence she tackled me to the ground in a big hug, which took me by surprise. "I love you." She said ever so silently, to where I had to lean in. "I love you so, so, so much."

(Y/N) whispered as she continued to hug me with all the emotion and strength she had. I just smiled, and pulled her in for a long passionate kiss, catching her also by surprise, but she requited instantly. After we pulled away from what seemed like eternity, we breathed heavily, foreheads together, looking into each other's eyes lovingly.

"Yes... I finally found the one."

Author's Note

Too sappy? Too fluffy? Too dramatic? I don't even know but I finished! I put all of this fluff into it while listening to romantic songs so hopefully it worked! It seems we have found the happy ending of reader-chan and Kasamatsu! You know I really never planned my story to turn out like this, and in fact started this story out kind of skeptical. Also I don't really plan on doing a happy ending/alternate ending for the other chatacter like I usually do for my stories, which makes me feel bad, but... There wasn't that much Kise action to be honest so.. but ya there's one more chapter coming for Kasamatsu, get ready!
