When Minaguchi was walking home he picked up a flower, he didnt think much of it, he just liked the color.
A few hours later, he can’t sleep. He sighs and then finds the flower he picked up, he sat up and took the flower. He then ripped off one of the petals “they love me.” He whispered. “This is so stupid” he thought to himself, but still continued. “They love me not.” He rips off another petal, this goes on until the last petal. “They love me not…” he lets go of the rest of the flower and just lays down. He thinks about the flower. It’s just a stupid thing that means nothing, yet he’s still thinking, what if they really don’t love him? He sighs and goes to sleep.
When he woke up, he had a headache, he probably fell asleep pretty late. He went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He feels like shit. He decides to skip school this day. He goes back to bed. When he wakes up he checks his phone, there are a few notifications from the volleyball group chat. It’s them asking where he is. He opens up his phone and answers “Just felt a bit sick today mb” then he turns off his phone and goes to make himself breakfast, or was it lunch because the time is 12pm? Eh, whatever.
After a few hours, Minaguchi was just sitting around listening to music in his room, then he hears his door open, it’s Nagao and Ryuya. “Hey Sho,, we heard you were a bit sick so we brought you some things we know you like,,,” Minaguchi smiled, if they didn’t love him, they wouldn’t do this.. I guess the flower was just a lie.
They all hung out for the rest of the day. Minaguchi didn’t mind. They were the people he loved most. He wouldn’t say that to their face though. He’s to scared of rejection. Maybe he will. Someday.
