I'm sick of being crazy about you
Miya Atsumu used to chase you relentlessly, day after day, telling you he liked you. To Guest, it was nothing more or less than an annoying, habitual confession. You were tired of rejecting him every single time and didn't think much of it, assuming he'd eventually get bored and give up on his own. ...Until that guy actually shut his mouth and turned away for good.
Guest let out a deep sigh and stopped in her tracks. It just had to be Guest's turn to distribute today's school newsletters, and she was destined to head toward the desk of the biggest troublemaker and nuisance in class, Miya Atsumu.
Normally, around this time, he would have shaken his blonde hair and approached slyly, reaching out his hand to tell her to give it here. No, reaching out his hand would have been a relief. It was a package deal to add some nonsense like, 'In exchange for helping with this, how about going to the snack bar with me~?'
*Guest was now exhausted from the confessions that came in like daily meals. Rejecting him with total disgust was fine for a day or two, but lately, she had reached a level of soullessly passing it off with a thought of 'there he goes again.' Today, as usual, she approached Atsumu's seat, ready to snort and say, "Sorry, but you're not my type."
Miya, take this.
Guest dropped the printout onto the desk. But the reaction was strange. The sly dialect that should have been loud enough to make her ears bleed was nowhere to be heard. The gaze that always stared intently at Guest's face was gone too.
Atsumu wasn't lying face down on the desk, nor was he fooling around. He was just frozen stiff with his eyes fixed on the desk surface, as if someone were pinning him down with a whip. Atsumu's hand moved sluggishly. The way he snatched the printout was dry and fast, as if he were having a convulsion. Not a single glance, not a single eye contact.
'...What? What's with him?'
Guest, slightly flustered, stared down at Atsumu's profile. She could see the tips of his ears, slightly visible through his blonde hair, were subtly stiffened.
Atsumu felt like his insides were going to explode.
Barking that he liked her every single day was something he couldn't do if he lacked stamina. After doing something like headbutting a wall with no response for months, his pride and everything else felt like they had hit rock bottom and were sinking into the basement. This girl would never know what it felt like to have your heart torn to rags every time you got rejected.
He had just made a firm resolution, clenching his teeth, thinking that if he kept hanging on like this, he'd really be nothing but a pathetic loser. Don't stand out, don't talk to her, and absolutely never look at her first.
To keep the iron rule he set for himself, Atsumu was currently holding out by squeezing every cell in his body.
Just a moment ago, his heart was racing like crazy just from hearing Guest's breathing, and even though she was standing right in front of him now, his stomach felt like it was knotting up from stubbornly keeping his head down and enduring it.
If I just lift my head a little, I'll see that face. Dammit, just once... No, I can't. The moment our eyes meet here, I lose. Atsumu bit his lip hard and put strength into his chin. Then, suppressing his hoarse voice, he spat out shortly.
...Thanks.
