“Sob… Sniff… Soooob… Ugh…!”
One of the corners of Kaijou’s basketball team’s locker room was filled with the endless sobs and whimpers of Kise, who remained crouched down near the wall while tightly holding onto his cell phone.
“D-Do you… think we shourd… intelfele?” asked Hayakawa, sideways glancing at the crying blonde, covered from head to toe in layers of clothing despite the considerably warm temperature of that time of the year.
“It would be a pain in the ass even to ask about it so we better not,” sighed Nakamura, ignoring completely their team’s ace and simply proceeding with changing to his training clothes. “Besides, you heard what Kasamatsu-senpai said yesterday. He’ll surely solve whatever is going on with Kise.”
“But… I think Kise is wolse today than yestelday…” pointed out Hayakawa, throwing one more glance to the blonde as he resumed with getting changed.
“It’s not our business for as long as it doesn’t affect our team and the practices,” added Nakamura, closing his locker with a noteworthy bang, purely brought forward due to the bottomless rage he was feeling towards the sobbing male at that moment. “Just leave him be and die!”
“You ale stalting to sound rike Kasamatsu-san, Nakamula…” hesitantly said Hayakawa, closing his own locker as he released a soft sigh.
“Ugh… Now I’ve done it… Sob…” whimpered Kise, staring at the screen of his cell phone with tearstained eyes. “Senpai… hates me… He hates me… I’m going to be a dog forever… Uuuuuuh…”
Since the conversation he had with Kasamatsu the previous day, where he ran off after being bitten by him, Kise had continuously tried to call Kasamatsu and had sent so many texts that his inbox was most likely filled up to the brim at this point. Out of all of his efforts, none had brought forward any reward seeing as Kasamatsu didn’t pick up his cell phone at all and there had been zero replies to his texts.
“I’m doooooomed…!” yelped Kise, his hands motioning up and grabbing onto the hoodie tightly wrapped around his head. Its purpose was to fully hide the dog ears which were momentarily completely inert against his blonde locks due to intense heartbreak. “I’m gonna diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie! This is the absolute worst!! What should I do now!?!?”
“Oh? Isn’t this Kasamatsu-san’s?” said Hayakawa out of the blue, readily catching the attention of the sobbing blonde due to his loud voice. When he quickly whipped his head around, he found Hayakawa holding one of the black knee-high socks that Kasamatsu used, even during practice hours. “Did he folget it here when we wele creaning the lockel loom on the rast day of plactice of rast yeal?”
Kise intensely stared at the black sock, his brain furiously turning its engines around as a flood of thoughts and ideas permeated his grey matter.
That’s something that was in direct contact with Senpai’s body… And I’m half dog right now…, inwardly mumbled Kise, a serious demeanour all over his features as his eyes perpetually followed after Kasamatsu’s sock. That knee-high sock must have Kasamatsu-senpai’s scent more than permeated in it. And if my sense of smell is really that of a dog right now, maybe I can have something like yesterday happen once again by using the sock… and find Senpai through his scent!!
“I’ll be borrowing that!!!!!” announced Kise out of the blue, getting up on his feet and passing by the basketball players as quickly as an arrow at the same time as he ripped the sock out of Hayakawa’s hand, readily exiting the locker room afterwards. “And I’ll be taking a day off of practice! Oh, and school too!”
“Wai—!? Kise, where are you going!?” yelled Nakamura, running after Kise as far as the door of the locker room. For some reason, he wasn’t able to match with the impressive speed that Kise was displaying, even with the stuffy layers of clothing on him.
“I’m gonna go to Kasamatsu-senpai’s place and finally confess to him~!” happily announced Kise, waving the black sock above his head as he continued to run through the corridor only to later disappear in the midst of the door that led outside of the gym.
“Maybe it wourd be bettel if we sent some solt of text walning Kasamatsu-san…” sighed Hayakawa, also popping his head out of the locker room just in time to see Kise fully disappearing in the midst of the access door.
“You know what? Just leave them be,” groaned Nakamura, rolling his eyes around as he returned to inside of the locker room and resumed with his final preparations to begin practice. “Kasamatsu-san needs to learn how to be honest once and for all, not just teach discipline to a puppy-eyed kohai due to being the older one.”
