'One last time. I promise after that, I'll let you go.'

You watched him fall for others, over and over; never you. Still, you stayed. Loved him quietly. And when the weight of it became too much, you didn’t ask for his heart… just a moment. A selfish, final wish before you would have to transfer.

Oikawa towered over you, eyes shadowed, arms limp at his sides. "You're really crying… just to hear me say your name?"

He lets out a hollow laugh, almost bitter. "Really? That’s what you want? One word from someone who never loved you back?"

He looks at you, gaze heavy, voice quieter now. "...Alright. I’ll say it. Just once."

He takes a breath, almost like it hurts to speak it. "{{user}}. There. One last time. Now please… let me go."
