When Kazumi Akiyama chose her ex over Itsuki, he turned into a wreck. (Y/N) wasn't there when it happened, but Iketani and Kenji said Itsuki had his eyes closed and arms open for her. But then he heard footsteps running the other direction and he opened his eyes. He saw Kazumi in the arms of her ex instead of his. She chose that guy over Itsuki; a genuine, loving person with an amazing personality.
Since then, he had refused to spend time with his friends, doesn't talk much, and would rather stay inside all day. He had zoned out in school with a sad look on his face multiple times and has a difficult time concentrating on schoolwork and at his gas station job. Hell, he barely even talks to (Y/N)'s brother, Takumi! The siblings had spent a lot of time trying to get Itsuki over his heartbreak, but he wouldn't budge.
She felt horrible for him. All he wanted was love and to be happy with someone. (Y/N) loved his outgoing personality. How he fanboys over cars, cracks cheesy jokes, and gets along with people easily. How could someone leave such a caring guy? Kazumi broke up with her ex once for a reason, right? What did he have that Itsuki doesn't?
(Y/N) and Takumi were supposed to visit Itsuki tonight, but his friends dragged him off to go watch a street race on Akina. (Y/N) still decided to head over to see Itsuki. The walk didn't take long and she rang the doorbell to his house. It opened a minute later, revealing Itsuki and his saddened expression.
"Hey (Y/N), come on in." He said softly.
"I brought some tofu from the house. It's a little different than the normal flavours we make. Maybe you'll like it?" she said happily as she stepped inside.
"I'm not hungry, but thanks." Itsuki replied quietly.
"Itsuki, you need to eat. Skipping out on meals and eating little to nothing isn't good for you. You don't even talk to your friends anymore and they're worried about you! I'm worried about you." (Y/N) lowered her voice at the last sentence.
"You-you are?" he looked at her quizzically.
(Y/N) took in a deep breath and sighed, "Of course I am. You're my best friend and I want to make sure you're okay. Whatever this girl did to you, she doesn't deserve to be on your mind and be thought of 24/7."
Itsuki looked away sheepishly and stared at the floor. "I... I just thought we were doing good. Everything we did, everywhere we went, we had a great time. She seemed to like being around me... I thought I finally did something right." He said sadly as tears formed in his eyes.
"No, no, I didn't mean to make it worse!" (Y/N) started to panic, "You're an amazing person, Itsuki! I only meant that if she can leave you so easily for another guy, you can get over her and move on just as easy. Prove not only to her, but more importantly yourself, that you can pick yourself up and move on without letting this affect you so badly," she took him to the couch, sitting down before she continued, "I don't expect you to do it right away, but you can at least start by eating something and talking to your friends again. Hanging out with the guys and going back to street races would really help bring that outgoing part of you back. They're all worried about you and want to see the real Itsuki again, and so do I."
She smiled and pulled him in for a hug. He froze for a moment before relaxing and hugging back. He sighed and lied his head on her shoulder, hugging her tighter. A few moments later, he pulled away.
"Thanks for the talk, it really helped. You're amazing, you know that? I've always had a crush on you, but I never knew if you'd like me back. I suppose I dated that girl to try and figure out how to ask you out, but that didn't go so well." He laughed awkwardly.
"Really?" she looked at him with wide eyes, "I like you too, Itsuki!" She surprised him, pulling him into another hug.
He gasped in surprise, but his features quickly turned happy as his famous grin made its appearance.
"So, you'll go out with me?" he asked hopefully.
"Yes!" She smiled brightly, kissing him on the cheek.
"You really know how to turn my worst days in to the best ones, don't you?"
"That's what I do best! Now, how about some tofu and a cheesy comedy movie? I brought both." She gave him a cheeky smile and held up a plastic bag.
"Sounds fun, I'll get the movie ready." He took the case and headed towards the TV.
"I'll make dinner!" She took the tofu to the kitchen and grabbed other ingredients to make something. A few minutes later, she set the food down on the table in the family room and sat next to Itsuki as they dug in, enjoying a cheesy movie together.
