She doesn't know it.

Two people.

Two people are in love with her.

She's pretty oblivious, always denying the hints thrown at her, only because she believes that it's impossible; it's impossible that they like her, but they do, and she still doesn't know it.

Only time can unravel things, and it's only a matter of moments before anything at all can happen.

--

He's supposed to be strong.

He's supposed to be the leader who makes all the tough decisions and chooses the path he won't regret.

And he is.

He's been strong for his life, but not just because he's supposed to be, but also because he will admit that he enjoys being the leader at times.

He's got his good qualities (boy were those muscles a gift) and his steady personality.

But he's not as strong as everyone takes him to be.

Even great people have their weaknesses, and his was a girl.

--

He's rumored to have a soft heart,

He's rumored to be real tender towards others, always patient, always kind, sensitive to others' feelings and sure to watch over everyone and make sure nobody gets in trouble.

And he is.

He's really friendly, and is definitely someone you'll want to be friends with; he's not very fake either, and he's quite genuine and honest.

Though he's got all the soft stuff, he will surely not hesitate to stand up for the people he loves because he knows he can't afford to see his loved ones hurt.

It's his nature.

Through all of the above, however, he can't really seem to be able to bring himself to reach for the one he does truly love, and he slightly despises himself for not being able to achieve such a simple thing.

It's much harder than it looks, but he's trying.

But he can't seem to try hard enough.

--

"Suga, I'm lost."

"What's wrong, Daichi? (f/n) again?"

"Yeah..." the brunette murmured.

"Ah. What's up?"

"Argh. I don't know, Suga. I'm starting to feel so awkward and flustered and ugh, it's crazy,"

"There, there. She hasn't noticed it yet," the silver-head reassured him.

"Yeah. Yet,"

"How negative."

"Suga—"

"Ah. No negativity."

"But—"

"Ah."

"Hey I—"

"Nope,"

The captain groaned with a slight smile.

"Gotcha,"

"Suga!"

"Daichi,"

The captain groaned once more, punching his friend playfully on the shoulder.

"Just be honest with her. If she rejects you," Sugawara started.

I'll have a chance.

"I-If she rejects you, then there's always someone else."

--

"Michimiya, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, Sugawara. You did what you could,"

"But," he mumbled, restraining his tears as hard as he could, "we're not getting anywhere because of me,"

"T-That's not true! I-It's not your fault. A-As long as we know (f/n)'s not in love with Daichi, we've both got a shot!"

"But Michimiya..."

"Hey, don't feel sad, okay? We're both trying,"

"I wish I could do something,"

"You are. Don't be so hard on yourself,"

"No I'm not!" he cried, "I can't even talk to her. I can't approach her. I can't tell her about my feelings. I can't. I-I just can't,"

"S-Sugawara,"

"I don't know what to do anymore. It wasn't supposed to be like this. It wasn't. I fell in love. But I didn't ask for pain,"

"We both did," Michimiya sighed, "if only things were easy,"

"I feel so useless,"

"You know you're not,"

"Every time he talks to me about her, I always end up feeling my heart twisting up in knots."

"You're not the only one," she murmured, "I feel like crying when he calls for me, only to ask for advice,"

"No way. He did that?"

"Twice or thrice already,"

They both let out exasperated sighs.

"Daichi's in love with (f/n). You're in love with Daichi. I'm in love with (f/n),"

"But who does (f/n) like?"

--

"I've called you guys here because you two are the ones I believe who I can depend on for help like this. Thank you, guys," Daichi bowed.

Michimiya and Sugawara gulped.

"N-No problem," she nodded, trying her hardest not to run away like she always would.

He stayed silent.

"I'm doing it tomorrow. I am going to confess to (f/n)," Daichi announced.

"G-Good for you," Sugawara stuttered.

"Good l-luck," Michimiya murmured.

"Huh? What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Not at all, Daichi. We're h-happy for you. All the best," Sugawara smiled.

You're a liar, Koushi.

"I'm full on s-supporting you," Michimiya agreed.

You wish you're in (f/n)'s spot, don't you, Yui?

"I seriously appreciate this guys! Thank you, really! Thank you!" Daichi smiled back, bowing again.

"It was no problem." Sugawara stated.

No problem? You can't fool yourself.

--

They're both in Sugawara's living room throwing a pity party for themselves.

Because throwing a pity party is always easier with someone who shares the same pain.

At least for them.

Tears are everywhere; there are about a hundred tissues in the trash can, and both of their eyes are kind of red.

They know they should just keep their heads up high at this point, but they can't seem to, mainly because they're just so tired already of having to deal with pain they had never asked for.

Perhaps they did deserve it, for being such selfish people, for being liars, for not being genuine with their words.

They know they should be happy for their friend, they should be supporting him, they should be executing some kind of wingman's plan, they should.

But they aren't.

Because they both have their own selfish desires they want.

They're horrible for doing this, and they know it.

They're not sure if both of their floods of tears were because thing weren't going their way, or because things were going well for their friend, and they weren't being as supportive as they should've.

And as for cliché possibilities, they're not going to fall in love with each other because of the situation.

No.

Michimiya and Sugawara have already discussed it earlier, that they wouldn't fall for one another either, because that would put their efforts in vain, and would make all their tears pointless.

They could have not possibly lived with that kind of guilt.

Because they are horrible people, but they hate that they are.

"I'm sorry, Daichi."

--

"Hi, Daichi. You asked me to stay here before going home?" (f/n) asked, offering a warm smile to her friend.

"U-Uh! Oh yeah! U-Um... uh-huh! I sure did!" he answered, scratching the back of his head, obviously a blushing mess.

"So, what's up?"

"W-Well... oh man. This is a bit harder than I thought."

"I'll wait for you, take your time!"

"Y-You see, (f/n). I-I... I like you. I like you a lot. Like, like like. The love kind of like. A-Ah, I sound so stupid now..."

Her eyes widened.

"I'm so flattered that you like me in that way. I am honored," she gulped.

"B-But..?" His worst fear had started coming true.

"I l-like someone else."

"O-Oh. I see. May I ask who this is, if that's not too much?"

"S-Sugawara-san..."

"NO!"

The silver-head had jumped out of his hiding spot (where he was watching, for the captain had begged him to be there for 'extra courage' quote unquote), shadows covering his forehead.

"N-No, (f/n), you can't like me. You can't. Daichi... his feelings..."

"What's going on here- oh my gosh," Michimiya had walked in suddenly, as if on cue.

"G-Guys, what are you doing?!" Daichi yelled.

"Nonono. This can't... I'm a horrible person." Tears started forming on the sides of Sugawara's eyes, as he knelt down, shaking.

"What? What's happening? I'm c-confused," (f/n) mumbled.

"S-Sugawara! What are you saying! You should be happy! She like you back-" Michimiya shook her friend, but then quickly covered her mouth with tears threatening to flow down her face.

"S-Suga?! You liked (f/n) all this time? YYou should have- so then- wait. Oh no. I hurt you, didn't I?" Daichi reached a hand out, but pulled back.

"Sugawara... likes me?" (f/n) gasped.

"I don't know.

I don't know anymore!

I'm 'supposed' to be happy, which I'm not, because I can't. I can't accept this. I don't want Daichi to feel bad because of me. I can't force feelings. I don't want any friendships to be ruined. I didn't ask for this, I didn't. I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have came here, I should have controlled my feelings before jumping out, I should have thought about what to do. But here we are now. We're all messed up because of some stupid love triangle, or love square, whatever.

We were all blinded by love. And now, nothing will ever be the same."
