Chapter Text
Kagami was seating in his balcony while staring into the horizon and holding his cup of coffee with both of his hands. Kagami just stared into space without moving. When the sun rose to the horizon, he stopped staring into space and decided to finish his coffee. Ever since he injured his knees in his third year of high school, he started to have insomnia. Even though he consulted with a professional with regards to his condition, his insomnia seemed to get worse each year. And now, he reached the point where he couldn’t sleep for days. At first, the frustration of not being able to sleep as well as with his knee injury always built up so quickly that he always wept and thought that he was being so pathetic. But now, he felt nothing, and he got used to it. He embraced the feeling and starting to enjoy the empty and lonely feeling.
He looked at his clock and got up to get his cardigan, laptop and his glasses. He got a sudden inspiration after experiencing a writer’s block for almost 10 hours. It might not be much, but he thought otherwise. After graduating from university, he learned that time was precious, and he had to treasure and make full use of it. He put his glasses on and started to write for his new manuscript that he had to submit to his editor in five days’ time.
If his high school self saw him in this state, he would laugh since he always inspired to be an NBA player. He always thought about how his friends would react as well since he hadn’t met them for years and he didn’t tell them his sudden degree and career change as well as his permanent injury. He didn’t have time to think about this because of what had happened, it already happened, and he could never turn back the time and changed everything. The only thing he could do were to adapt and improvise. Anyway, he was content with the way he was living now. He had a decent job with a decent salary and a mediocre life. He made no trouble and had never been involved in any drama, unlike most people.
He kept on typing and when he looked up to see the time on his phone, it showed 10 a.m. “I’ve been typing non-stop for five hours? I guess time flew quite fast when you’re too engrossed.” He said while stretching his limbs.
Suddenly, his stomach growled so loudly and that was his cue to make breakfast. He switched on his speaker and put some music on. Sometimes, he liked to be distracted while cooking by listening to his favourite playlist. He decided to make pancakes with whipped cream and some berries at the side. He ate his breakfast while scrolling through Instagram. While scrolling through his feed, he stumbled upon some of his friends’ Instagram accounts. I see…so they keep their accounts updated, huh…
He stumbled upon Kuroko’s account and found out that he just posted a new photo. He froze when he looked at the photo. He’s engaged to Momoi? I didn’t know that. “The caption says ‘just got engaged today and planning to have a bachelor party with the guys. Can’t wait.’ So, he’s engaged now?! I wonder who proposed first…”
“Should I congratulate him? I don’t have his number anymore since I changed my phone and didn’t save his number. Maybe, I should DM him but after that, I’m sure he will force me to attend the party after not attending the reunion for so many years. Arrghh… I hate this, but I don’t do this, it will be quite rude.” Kagami mumbled to himself while staring at the photo.
“Here goes nothing then.”
Kagami: Hey Kuroko, I just saw your post that you’re getting engaged.
Congrats dude, I’m happy for you.
He regretted soon after he sent that message to Kuroko’s account but what had been done, it had been done, he couldn’t do anything. He kept on staring at his phone. Arrghh… Dammit, this is so suspense. I can’t take it anymore! And with that, he put his phone away and washed his plates before continued to work on his manuscript. If Kuroko does invite me, I hope he won’t be there.
