"Kuroko!" You shouted across the corridor.

The sky blue-haired boy looked behind and saw you. You quickly approached him. With a blank face,  he said,  "Is there something wrong, ______?"

You shook your head and smiled. "I just missed you!"

"Oh?" Although his face was blank, you knew he was smiling inside. You've learned how to read someone as unpredictable as he is. Especially since he had been your boyfriend for almost a year.

"Hmm? You don't seem happy to see me..." You pouted.

He smiled. "I'm actually very happy to see yo--"

Before the quiet boy could even finish his sentence, you grabbed his hand and ran off. "Good to hear!!!"

You ran past your fellow schoolmates, through the school's front entrance, and finally out the gates. Not slowing down, you continued to the plaza, where most of the shops were. You dismissed every confused look given to you by the onlookers.

"We're finally here!~" You gleefully exclaimed to your boyfriend. Waiting for a reply, you wondered if he actually was there. You turned your head. "Kuroko?"

"Y...yes... _..._____?" He panted. He had his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.
"Oh my gosh!" You had a concerned look on your face. "Are you alright?"

He looked up and gave you a small, tired smile.

You looked around and saw a bench nearby. "Want to rest first?" You pointed at the bench.
He nodded gratefully. You took his hand and helped him to the bench.

The both of you sat down and silence enveloped the atmosphere. You turned your head and looked at him. He was staring straight ahead. You sighed and your eyes fell to the ground in between your feet. You stared at nothingness for a few minutes, thinking to yourself, "Am I too tiring to be with? This happens everytime we go on a date..."

What snapped you back to reality was a new shadow that formed in front of you (and was progressively getting bigger) and the sound of footsteps. You looked up to see who was approaching. It was none other than your boyfriend. He was holding an ice cream cone in each hand, one was vanilla (He also prefers his milkshakes in vanilla.) and the other was your favorite flavor.

He stretched out the hand which held your ice cream cone. You laughed as you gratefully took it. He sat down again and proceeded to eat his cold treat. You smiled, "How, when and where?"

Although the question was vague, he knew just what was running through your mind. He wasn't your boyfriend for just two weeks, you know. He returned your smile with a smile of his own. "Lack of presence", he simply replied.

"But that never worked on me!" You protested. That was true. The reason why he was your boyfriend now was because you never managed to keep your eyes off him, especially when he was playing basketball. Let's just say he noticed you and became your boyfriend after a series of clumsy events.

"You weren't looking at me." He replied without hesitation. "You should eat your ice cream before it melts."

"I'm never taking my eyes off you ever again!" You jokingly declared, then you proceeded to lick the ice cream.

From the corner of your vision, you saw him smile.

----~•~°~•~----

"What!?" You yelled at your phone. "R-Really!?"

"Yep." The voice on the other end replied. "He said so himself."

"But..." Your voice trailed off sadly. "You sure it was him? You p-probably missed him or something!"

"_____, I made sure to ask him because I knew you would be interested." (Name of best female friend) assured you. Not that it was reassuring. "I even recorded his answer. You want to hear?"

"...Sure." You were afraid to believe it, but you knew you had to know the truth.

(n/bff) decided to make a survey. She asked all the guys in our batch one question, "What kind of girl is your type?" When she told you the results, you laughed. Some guys were way too shallow. However, when she told you his answer, you had mixed feelings.

"Alright, here goes."

You waited impatiently and did your best to lessen the drumming noise your heart created.

I prefer gentle girls.

You sighed. "Now what am I supposed to do?"

"We both know you're faaaar from gentle." She joked.

"This is not a laughing matter!" You scolded. "And don't rub it in."

You heard a laugh on the other end. "Oh ____, you're so precious. When it's about him, you get all serious!"

"Hmph!"

She continued laughing, but she eventually stopped. "You do know he loves you. He wouldn't stay to be your boyfriend if he didn't like you."

You blushed. "M-Maybe he's just being nice! He just doesn't want to hurt me."

"I don't know ____, being a boyfriend is a big responsibility. I'm sure he knows that."

----~•~°~•~----

"Be gentle, graceful and elegant... Be gentle, graceful and elegant..." You repeated the mantra to yourself. "Okay, ready!-- I-I mean, I am prepared."

"____?" You turned around to face the person who called you. It was (n/bff). "What are you doing in front of the mirror? Your boyfriend is waiting for you!"

You cleared your throat. "I'm very sorry. I shall be going now, (n/bff)." You could tell from her face that she was surprised.

As you reached the restroom door, you heard your best friend laugh. "I didn't know you were THAT affected!"

You felt your veins pop, but you turned around to face her with a smile. "Excuse me?"

She stopped to look at you and then continued laughing. "That's really creepy!"

You sighed and turned back to the door. You opened the door, but before you were out of earshot, your best friend gave you the best piece of advice you could ever get.

Unfortunately, you didn't take it.

You walked down the hallway and spotted your boyfriend waiting for you. Normally, you would run towards him. You decided against it though. You just walked towards him, forcing yourself to not speed up your pace.

He glanced at you and approached you to close the distance. "You seem to be late today. Did something happen?"

"YES. SOMETHING DID HAPPEN. ASDFGGHJJKLLL!" Your insides screamed. You shook it off however.

You smiled. "None. I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting."

"It's alright." He maintained the same blank face everyone(?) knew. "Let's go?"

You nodded and walked by his side. He never took his eyes off the path in front of him. Silence deafened your ears as you walked towards your destination. You longed to say something, but you didn't know what to say.

"You're awfully quiet today." He suddenly spoke up. You felt your skin jump at the sudden sound of his voice.

"Is that so?" You replied. "I'm sorry..."

He stopped walking and so did you. He sat on the nearby bench and gestured that you do the same. You sat down. He placed a hand on your forehead, and when he did that, you blushed.

"Hm... You're red but your temperature is normal..." He had a concerned look on his face. "Do you feel sick?"

"N-No."

He withdrew his hand. "Please ____, don't lie to me."

"I-I'm not."

He sighed. "Are you mad at me?"

What? What kind of question was that? "O-Of course not!"

"Then why are you different today?"

"I... I..." You were lost. How come this date felt so wrong? It wasn't like the other dates. It was supposed to be better! "I..."

He clutched your hand and gently squeezed it. "Yes...?"

"I... I..." Not being able to hold your emotions in anymore, you burst out crying. "I just wanted to be your type of girl!"

Kuroko pulled you towards him and wrapped his arms around you. "Why?"

"I-I just wanted to be gentle. You like gentle girls, right?" You continued crying.

He continued embracing you, not saying a single word.

"I wanted you to be happy!"

He pushed you back, his hands on your shoulders. Your (e/c) eyes met his light blue ones.

"I am happy, with you. Because ____..."

Your best friend's advice came back to you. "Just be yourself."  Why didn't I follow that advice?






"...You are gentle in your own way."
A one-shot! Yay! I finally managed to produce something!~ I hope you like it!
