When I first told him how I felt, I knew it was a long shot for it to come true. Being a second year student and falling in love with your Sensei is an unfair mixture, but all of that is behind me now. Yes, he's still my Sensei, but I am no longer a high school student. If I confessed to him again - now that I'm no longer a high school student... will he give me an answer? Two years ago, he couldn't, but today... today was going to be different.

I stood quietly next to Ritsa Hyūga, the Coach of the second Karasuno girls Volleyball Team. Hyūga had been asked by Himari Echizen, daughter of Professional Girls Volleyball coach and Hyūga's coach, Hiroshi Echizen to come in and coach the girls. Echizen's Senpai is a very famous volleyball coach for both boys and girls. But going back to what I really want to talk about. I stood next to Hyūga, watching another boys vs. girls match. They all seem to have a lot of fun when they face each other.

On the other side of the gym my eyes kept going to my old Sensei, Takeda Senei. What drew me to him, I still can't figure it out, but what I do know is that I'm at my happiest when I'm around him. That's why I wanted to get his answer today. I'm sick of waiting and wondering.

"I just want to be with Takeda Sensei..." I let it slip slight. Hyūga looked over at me with a not so surprised look in her eyes.

"Careful there Miyazono... Takeda will hear you if you keep saying things out loud like that.

"I-I don't know what you mean Hyūga."

"Come on Miyazono. Your obsession with Takeda was the worst kept secret two years ago. The only reason why you agreed to be my assistant was because he was going to be here too. There's no denying the fact that you really like Takeda Sensei."

The worst kept secret? Was it really? Did I make it that obvious that I liked Takeda Sensei? I must have been blind back then to not have seen it and I must have caused so much trouble for him in the end.

The whistle to end the days practice suddenly echoed. This was my chance to talk with him. To ask him for his answer after two years of waiting. Once everyone was gone, and Takeda and I were the only ones left I approached him nervously.

"T-Tkeda Sensei."

"Miyazono? Why are you still here? Is your ride late or something?" Takeda grabbed his duffle bag and placed it on his shoulder.

"I-I would like to ask you something. It's really important." I started tugging at the rim of my shirt. Acting as though I was trying to undo the seam.

"Sure. You live nearby right? I'll walk you home."

I stood there shocked for a moment. I didn't expect Takeda Sensei to walk me home. I thought we were going to talk right here and end it at that.

"Let's go Miyazono. I bet your parents are wondering where you are. What is that you wanted to talk about?"

"I-I..." I stuttered with my words. I had no idea that it was going to be this hard to bring it up a second time. It should be easier than it did before.

"Miyazono, is everything alright?"

"Takeda Sensei... do-do you remember what happened two years ago between us? The question I asked you?" I looked to Takeda Sensei to see a small blush sprinkle over his face.

"Miyazono, that happened some time ago. How could you remember something like that now?"

"Because Takeda Sensei I still feel that way towards you. Takeda Sensei I still love you deeply. Two years ago, you couldn't give me an answer because I was your student, but there's no reason to worry about that now. I'm out of high school, I'm a second year college student now. Please Takeda Sensei... please tell me."

I ended up grabbing Takeda Sensei by his lime green sports jacket. This was almost a repeat of last time. Breaking down in front of Takeda Sensei, begging for an answer to a love confession. I just didn't know what I'd do if I couldn't get an answer from him this time. Feeling I was about to burst into tears I felt warm arms wrap themselves around me.

"I'm sorry I couldn't give you an answer back then. It was something I couldn't do because of the situation two years ago. I cared for you back then and still care for you now Miyazono."

Still gripping onto his jacket, I felt a light kiss in on my forehead. I looked up at Takeda Sensei to see the usual sweet happy smile.

"Takeda Sensei... I-I LOVE YOU TAKEDA SENSEI!!!" I wrapped my arms around Takeda Sensei, gripping onto the back of his jacket. I love this person, I really do love him.

"I..."

I looked up at Takeda Sensei. It looked like he was trying to say something, but he couldn't seem to be able to.

"Takeda Sensei?"

"I...I love... I love you too Miyazono."

I stood slightly up on my tiptoes to reach Takeda's lips and lightly pressed my lips against his. I watched as his face blushed pink. I couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, I almost forgot..." I quickly rummaged through my bag. I had something I wanted to give him. "This is for you Takeda Sensei, happy birthday."

There was a moment of shock before he took the gift from me. With a smile he wrapped me up again in his soft but yet warm arms. I had him. I finally had my Takeda Sensei. After two years of not being able to have my answer I finally had him.

"Thank you Miyazono, and I'm sorry I took so long."
