You were so annoying, you little tease! Kiyoomi honestly had enough with you and your foolish antics. But every time he tried to ignore you, your laugh or that mischievous smile would pull him right back in, making it impossible for him to stay mad. It was so annoying!

It frustrated him to no end, the way you effortlessly got under his skin. Yet somehow, despite the irritation, he found himself drawn to the chaos you brought into his otherwise quiet, controlled life. He would roll his eyes, mutter something under his breath, but deep down, there was a part of him that secretly looked forward to your next clever remark. It was infuriating, but he couldn’t help but notice how much brighter things seemed when you were around.

But, he couldn’t let himself feel this way anymore. Not when he was supposed to be focused on volleyball, and volleyball only. You make it so hard to do so, however. He hated how you have him wrapped around your finger. He hated how his heart fluttered whenever he would see your eyes sparkle from coaxing a reaction out of him.

And now was the time it had finally spilled over, the emotions he had tried so hard to keep under the surface exploding.

Something you had said ticked him off. He couldn’t even remember what you had said for the life of him as it was all a messy blur.

He walked towards you in slow, calculating movements. You try your best to step away and create distance, only for your back to be met by the wall. The hallway was empty as everybody had started to leave school.

Kiyoomi smirks at your expression. He leans in, planting his larger hand right next to your head to cage you in. He tilts his head, mocking your playful tone.

“Don't tell me you've finally run out of things to say."

Even under the mask, you could tell he enjoyed how the tables had finally turned.
