I Can't Fall in Love Without You #log3

So here we were with two different people and with equal stubborn minds, meeting here both because of a little 'set up' Carlos, Shirakawa, Itsuki and Harada made. “Why are you here?” you asked Mei, a little bit pissed off because you knew this was Carlos idea for sure. You should've trusted your instincts more, because you knew there was something fishy when he came up and said there was something urgent and you need to follow him.

Who knew something urgent meant you were going to be kept up inside of this storage room with Narumiya Mei for two hours. Or really? Did you really didn't know that was mei going to be here? Probably in the back of your mind you knew and your body just followed because you missed Mei so damn much. Though you weren't going to admit it so easily.

“I could say the same to you!” Replied Mei back with a high tone, he darted his eyes anywhere else except your eyes. Because when he met them, he knew he would lose it and succumb to his feelings. As if he would allow that to happen! He was Narumiya Mei, the King there was no way he would let his head hang low even more to someone as mere as you.

After minutes of silence and grumbling (mostly by Mei) about how he was going to kill his team after this, you finally broke the silence. Because admit it, Mei wasn't going to speak first even if you were going to be trapped in this for eternity. “Got any idea why are we trapped in this closet Narumiya?” Pang! That was his heart sounded maybe when you called him with his last name instead. Oh yeah, right, you weren't together anymore. “Dunno” Mei shrugged nonchalantly, not wanting to speak with you.

“Come on Narumiya, don't be such a child” you scolded him, a little bit piss off because he and his pride so damned stubborn. “Highschoolers are kids!” you knew he said this line to Itsuki a few days ago, he never changed did he? “But mature enough to think on it's own and not acted selfishly by not admitting they're in fault” you retorted back, good retort by the way! Because Mei responded instantly.

“I'm selfish? You were the one who left me to hang out with your losers friends!” “Why was I always the one who needed to approach you first?! And when I got tired then it was my fault?!” you screamed at him, the anger that had been built up for months begun to come out. “As I said, I was in season and baseball is my priority so you need to understand me” Mei said, as always defending himself to death.

“Relationship is a two way street Mei! It won't work out if I was the only one who gives, you just keep taking and taking until there was nothing inside of me!” Shit, you called him by his first name. But hey, he wouldn't notice it right? He was afterall consumed by rage too. “How can you say you were the one who kept giving?! Then where the hell have you been when I struggled with you know what? You were having fun with those losers in summer like a peasant, you were my girlfriend you should-”

“I should what? Nannying you like a royal baby sitter?! The world isn't centered around you, this relationship shouldn't centered around you Mei!” “You knew what you were getting for when you entered this relationship with me, so it's not my fault” This was getting tiring, same old Mei, same old excuses. “Then you should've dated one of your fangirls not me!” “Fine! The first year girl from brass band is a lot of cuter than you after all!” okay, maybe you awere the one who said the fangirls line first but it still damned hurt to hear he prefered someone other than you.

“Why are you still being a damned brat?! If you wanted to then why the hell are you not?!” Mei was the one who taken aback right now. “W-well, I will if they let us out!” “Okay then, but don't come back running to me if she break up with you after a week!” “I accept that! She will at least be there when I need her, not like you who was fooling around!” “Oh, now you said you need me?! Weren't you the one who said 'I didn't need you anyway' Eat your own shit Narumiya” Then you stormed off to the back of the storage room while Mei just stood there silently for the first time having nothing to retort back to you.

“Oi” this time he was the onw who approached you first after a good silence for about ten minutes. “Go away Narumiya” you replied, head facing the other direction. “C'mon, let's talk” “No, because a talk with you will always end up with a fight and you are always the one who's going to be right” “This time it won't be like that” “...do whatever you like” then mei sat down besides you on the floor with your face still not facing him and him to the other direction too.

“I guess this is partly my fault too. Ck, I'm sorry” he mumbled loud enough for you to hear. you still didn't want to respond to him so you kept your mouth shut. “When are you going to look at my direction?” Mei said frustatedly because you still refused to see his face. So he moved to kneel in front of you, you immediately turned your face away but he was faster to grab your face to look at him. “No, look at me. Not to the other way but to me!” He screamed, so you complied and looked at him straight to his eyes. “Fine if that's what you want Narumiya, after all you are the king, am I right?” Mei winced at your words.

“Don't make this so hard, do we have to yell and scream again for you to call me Mei again?” Oh, so he noticed. You forgot how observant he was, even during your fight. “What do you want to talk then, Mei?” You made sure to pronounce his name a lot of stronger, it was kind of fun to see Narumiya Mei like this. “Look, I-, I'm sorry for what happened with us in the past and I...” Mei started looking at the ground under his feet, he couldn't bare to see your face.

“You're what Mei?” “I should have been more attentive but I got jealous because you never looked that happy with me and I made that rash decision in the heat of the moment” “You should've been Mei, but there's no point in talking about this any longer, we're not together anymore” You kept taunting him with that nonchalant attitude looking like this didn't matter to you eventhough deep inside you swore you were freaking out.

“What I'm trying to say is, I miss you and I need you more than I thought so please take me back! I- I can't say baseball isn't my top priority anymore but I promise this time I would treat you right, I would be more attentive and not burdening you all the time with my childish tendencies, so please don't fall in love without me...” His voice was breaking and when he lift up that face to met your eyes with his, you saw tears were threatening to spill down on his face. Was this Narumiya Mei breaking down in front of you? You wanted to laugh to snicker at him, but you couldn't because there were something burning streaming down on your face. “I'm sorry too Mei, I am” You answered burrying your face in your hands while Mei wrapped his arms around you engulfing you to a warm embrace that you missed for months.

“We're going to make it this time, we're definitely going to make it” Mei whispered softly and you just nodded your head. The peaceful moments didn't last though, when Carlos barged in loudly ruining the perfect atmosphere you both had. “Oops, looks like a ruined a moment. Anyway you both had to come out” Carlos said, Mei and you immediately got up. Mei started to cuss Carlos with ever word he could think of in the top of his head. You just giggled, its been a long time since you last saw this scene. Then you both came out, returning back to the ground before you set your feet inside the storage. But this time there was a diffrence, because Mei's hand was gripping yours tightly this time.
