155There always is that strange longing I get if I stay away from it for too long. My heart seems to pump even slower than it already does and my mind always seems to wander to the land beneath the rabbit hole.
You want to know who I am? Well, I could tell you now, but I think I'll wait a bit later. It's been years since I've had someone to talk to. Let's make this a game.
If you are able to tell me who I am by the end on the story, then I will let you leave. Until then, you will forever be stuck in here with me.
Kuroko Tetsuya was by no means loud. Nothing about him screamed attention that so many human beings seem to crave. He had a faint presence, making him invisible to most, soft yet blank features that didn't make his appearance stand out. Pale blue eyes and hair that seemed to fade the more you looked at them and a quiet and introverted personality sealed the deal.
And the boy liked it that way. He preferred not to be in crowds or have everyone's attention. He liked fading into the background while no one notices him. Or at least that's what he tells himself every day, once before breakfast, twice before lunch and once again before and after dinner. Why he would go to such lengths to convince himself, we shall never know, but what we do, is that Kuroko is very shy, but also very lonely. Because no one notices him, he has no one to confide in, no one to make him laugh, no one to make him smile, no one to tell him that he isn't just a ghost that no one cares about and ignores.
After trying to make a friend for years, he finally gave up. Accepting that no one can notice him, Kuroko stopped trying to get people to notice him. His life slowly faded to grey as the once vibrant colors of the world slowly melted away into nothing.
And no one knew.
No one cared.
The boy stayed in his large room, ignored even by his own family. No one seemed to have the time for him or was willingly to give their time for him.
I suppose that was when he finally began to fall.
Thank you to Akasuki Fatale and clarit for pointing out the formatting problem. I don't know what happened, but hopefully it won't happen again!
