■Y/N's POV■

I'm standing in front of my office, the bench that I used to sit on was full. I fiddle the handle of my luggage nervously. Today I'll go back to Atsumu san's place. I'm really happy that I could repay his kindness, moreover, I'm happy to be able to stay longer by his side.

Someone tapped my shoulder and I excitedly look back. But it's not someone that I'm expecting. It's not Atsumu san.

Takato: Y/N... I... can we talk...

Y/N: Nijima san... I uh...

Takato: we don't have to go somewhere... we can just talk in here... just a minute... please

I look up as Nijima pleads at me. Today Nijima looks different. His eyes not hiding something.

Y/N: um.. okay...

Nijima clears his throat and then suddenly he bows his head. Startling me as I become flustered.

Y/N: Ni... Nijima?

Takato: I'm sorry...

I was stunned the moment he said that. In the past few months, Nijima too always apologizes to me to makes me follow him. But right now, it's not the same. It's unlike how he used to apologize just to lure me in. The look in his eyes, he's genuinely apologizing right now. 

Takato: I... was afraid that you'll be taken away from me... that's why when you refused me back then... I got infuriated... I can't help but think that someone else will claim you... sorry, I mistreated you Y/N.... forgive me... come back to me.... please.

I feel a tug in my heart, seeing him like this making me feel sad. Nijima was a gentle person, to begin with, and that's how I was attracted to him in the first place, but my feeling wavering since he changed months ago. Moreover, lately I

Y/N: Nijima san.... I... forgive Nijima san...

Nijima's face lits up as I said that. I, really am forgiving him. Because no matter how bad our relationship in the last six months, we used to have good memories since we're just colleagues and when we start going out. But

Takato: you really forgive me? thank you Y/N... thank you so much Y/N... This time, I'll...

Y/N: Nijima san... but I... I must apologize too... I, can't go back with you... my feeling for you... it's not like before... I'm sorry...

Atsumu san's face flashes through my head.

I can't lie....

My feelings are changing...

Since months ago.... 

And recently... my heart wavers for another....

■3rd Person POV■

Y/N looks at Takato's face as she became weary that Takato might be angry, but what she saw makes her hitch her breath instead. Takato looks at Y/N, a painful smile plastered on his face. Takato reaches a hand and cares her cheek gently. 

Y/N flinches at Takato's gentle touch and he senses it, so he pulls his hand away. Y/N felt guilty and about to say something, but Takato talks first, stopping her from saying anything.

Takato: I... lost you didn't I? 

Y/N: Ni... jima san...

Takato lifts his hand in front of Y/N, and Y/N looks at his hand and at Takato's face as he's waiting for Y/N to shake his hand.

Takato: I... hope I can at least be a good friend for you now... can you at least still call me by my name... as a friend?

Takato gives Y/N a reassuring smile, making Y/N's heart aches a bit. Y/N reaches and takes Takato's hand in hers. Y/N looks up at Takato and gives him a smile.

Y/N: I... would like that.... Takato san...

The two shake hands as they made up but now as friends. 

Just then Y/N was yanked back as a strong arm snaked around her body from behind. A familiar scent hits Y/N's nose and she looks back up to see a pissed-looking Atsumu. Atsumu is glaring at Takato, and Takato could see the difference between How Atsumu glares at him before and now. 

Atsumu: I warn you before, not to bother her again didn't I?

Y/N spun around and looks up at Atsumu, gaining his attention. He looks at her with worried.

Atsumu: you okay?

Y/N: uh... Atsumu san... you... you got it wrong... Takato didn't do anything just now...

Atsumu: Takato?

Hearing Y/N say Takato's name makes his heart clenches. He becomes uneasy, afraid that Y/N and Takato getting back together.

Atsumu: you... are you forgiving him already?

Y/N: yes... 

Atsumu could feel a tug in his chest as he watches Y/N smile a little. She looks happy.

Y/N: we've made up... we're friends now...

Atsumu was startled by what he heard. He looks at the smiling woman in front of him.

Atsumu: just... friends?

Y/N tilts her head a little.

Y/N: uh... yess... we are friends... 

Atsumu was screaming inside, as he is somehow relieved. Y/N and Atsumu's attention was directed at Takato as he starts to speak.

Takato: well... that's it... um before I leave... Y/N I want to thank you...

Y/N looks at Takato, confused. Atsumu glances at the confused girl and turns his gaze back at Takato.

Takato: thank you for helping me with the document... you... really are a kind person...

After saying that Takato turs on his heel, back facing Y/N and Atsumu as he's about to leave.

Takato: well... I'll take my leave then... 

Y/N watches as Takato leaves, staring at him with some sort of feeling. Atsumu sees this and he becomes jealous. He grabs Y/N's hand, startling the girl. Atsumu also grabs the handle of Y/N's luggage.

Y/N: Atsumu san?

Atsumu: Let's go home...

Y/N could feel that Atsumu's pissed by something. He looks grumpy when he's driving. Suddenly Atsumu talks.

Atsumu: what do you help him with?

Y/N: oh... it's from the other day...

Y/N tells him about what happened, and Atsumu listens to every single word she said.

■Atsumu's POV■

So she helped him out when he's being tricked by his colleagues. Does she still have feelings for him? that's why she help him out?

Atsumu: Y/N... do you... ( clear throat) perhaps, still have feelings for him...

Y/N looks down at her lap and plays with her fingers.

Please don't look cute when you're making me nervous waiting for your answer...

Y/N: I... Takato asked me to get back together with him...

shit...

Y/N: but... I... my feelings are no longer the same... it's already been like this for months... I feel like a bad person for rejecting him...

Atsumu: I'm glad you're a bad person...

Y/N: huh? did you say anything Atsumu san?

Crap did I say that out loud?

Atsumu: uh nothing...  So... why did you reject him?

Y/N suddenly turns her face away and looking out the window. I could see that the tip of her ears are red.

Y/N: I... I just... don't feel the same...

Atsumu: well, it's normal... based on how he treated you lately... you don't need to feel bad about it...

I turn my gaze to the road again.

I don't really care about the reason...

As long as she's not getting back with that man...

Well...

Not with any man...

I'm glad that guy is just a friend...
