TSUKISHIMA KEI is known for his resting bitch face.
it's enough to make the first-year girls cower in fear as he walks past them in the hallways.
when he's got his headphones on, head bowed, with a threatening aura around him, people know not to even talk to him. and no matter how many times tadashi tells him to not scare off the first-year, kei insists that he doesn't do it on purpose. (he does.)
but you? you prided yourself in knowing you would never be on the receiving end of those stares.
you prided yourself in being the only person who was able to tell when he dropped this façade; when his gaze subtly shifts when he looks at you. the way the furrow in his eyebrows smooth out faintly, the way he stands a little straighter, the way his lips turn up at the corners a little.
you prided yourself in knowing, in the privacy of kei's room, what it looks like when he truly smiles. a smile where there's no mockery in his eyes, where the slight upturned corners of his mouth stretch to reveal an expression of mirth.
and to be honest?
you had no idea what they were talking about when they said that tsukishima kei had a resting bitch face.

» FOLHAS SECAS — capa teste
⟅03.12.2023 — depois de fazer muitas capas cheias de texturas e flores, eu pensei em: ok, vou fazer uma capinha mais clean, só que dessa vez vai ser clean mesmo! O resultado me deixou muito chuchuco pq eu amo esse tipo de tonalidade mais puxado pro marrom alaranjado e o resultado não poderia ter me deixado mais satisfeito (esse título está muito impecável, não me toquem pq eu não estou bem). Eu não pensei em nada para essa capa, só imaginei o título e fui criando encima disso pq estou muito sem cabeça para criar no momento :D
» FRIMOUSSE — capa teste
⟅19.11.2023 — pode parecer uma capa mais simples mas pensa numa bicha que demorou pra ser feita sô! Nunca vi tanto rolo acontecendo pra essa capa não sair que misericórdia gente, estou quase me aposentando dessa vida de capista. E sim gente, uma capa de tsukiyama pq estou carente e preciso de algo mais fofo para essa semana começar daquele jeito que eu gosto. Talvez não seja muito trabalhada comparada com outras capas que fiz esses últimos tempos mas ela vai ser um xodó desse blog por ser um comfort ship que eu tenho (e pensar que já odiei esse ship, tempos sombrios esses, não recomendo).
P. S.: Eu simplesmente amei o plot que criei para essa daqui, o que é uma pena :'))))

Not just Kenma is someone who watches twitch stream. Secretly, Tsukishima watches them too. He is bound to watch 'Just chatting' streams, but also 'Phasmophobia'. He also tries to stop watching Minecraft streams and videos, always saying they're childish, but he has a hard time to actually stop watching them. It's just the nostalgia that hits...
Edits note:
Happy New year..? I think it's been a whole year (or more) since I've uploaded something here. I had projects in that year, but due to getting a new phone, I lost my process of my drafts. Tho I gotta say that I haven't been writing anything great/much at all this last year. I would say I'm inactive, but I'm not fully away. Tumblr is always on my phone, although I'm not reading/writing much here anymore lmao. :) thank you all for the support <3
Let's just stay tuned? I hope y'all are alright :)

Summary: You ended up wearing a green bean costume to school the next day. Why? Ugh, don’t ask.
A/N: Looking up April Fools pranks for this fic was just about the best research I’ve done for a story in a while. Hope you like it! (Again, thank you guys so much for the likes and follows, they make me so happy I almost screech and scare the shit out of my parents!)
Word count: 1245
“Kei, there’s no way your teammates are that stupid.”
“Oh yeah? You wanna bet?” You did, and you really thought you would win, too. Oh, how wrong you were.
It was April Fools, and Tsukishima came up with a simple prank to test just how oblivious the Karasuno volleyball team could be. Before practice began, you were to bring in a box of original glazed-donuts to the second gym. Nothing too special, it’s just that on the top of the box you wrote “Happy April First!” in bright green letters. The fear and anxiety in the team captain’s eyes was instantaneous.
“Hey guys, I brought in donuts for you all!” you announced cheerfully, setting down the closed box on one of their metal benches. Even Kiyoko, who had been seated there, stood quickly and watched the donuts with suspicion. Chuckling behind your hand, you joined a smug Tsukishima near the entrance and waited for the show to begin. At first, the whole team had been ecstatic about the gift and thanked you loudly, but smiles dropped off each and everyone’s faces one-by-one the closer they stepped to it, evidently reading the note on top.
Giving your boyfriend a pointed look, you gestured to his teammates and whispered, “See, I told you they wouldn’t-” you were cut off by the sound of the box opening, and whipped your head over in surprise to see the culprits. It was Hinata and Kageyama, glancing inside in wonder at the deliciously glazed pastries.
You gawked at the sight, but Tsukishima’s smirk only grew while he folded his arms and leaned against the wall comfortably at the scene. “Guys, wait!” Daichi warned, his arm reaching out in protest, but he was too late. The rest of the team watched in horror as the ginger and the blueberry inhaled the donuts without so much as pausing at their captain’s exclamation, licking their fingers and shouting a “Thank you!” at you before returning to the court. Visibly shaken at the spectacle that had just occurred, Kiyoko reclaimed her place on the bench numbly as the rest of the team returned to practice with bewildered expressions. They were all lying in wait for side-effects that would never appear from your innocent box of treats.
You were appalled. “No hesitation. They didn’t even notice. I can’t tell if they’re fearless or just stupid,” you mumbled.
Tsukishima patted your jaw closed and gave a shit-eating grin. “The latter. Definitely the latter.”
Refusing to take the loss, you looked up at him and bargained, “Double or nothing?”
~~~
Your boyfriend’s second prank was… admittedly crueler. You assumed he was still pissed at Nishinoya and Tanaka for hitting on you at the first game you had ever attended of his, but you didn’t mention your theory. Plus, this trick would be enough revenge on its own. It was the next day, and you and Tsukishima had spent an hour last night painting two onions and caramelizing them like apples, only to carry them into school and drop them off at the desks of the two flirty dimwits under the guise that they were from the gorgeous Kiyoko herself. At first, you thought the plan failed. The school alarm hadn’t sounded in warning that the pair had spontaneously combusted at the gifts, and you didn’t hear a loud commotion in the halls from them running around like excited, headless chickens.
“Be patient,” the blondy murmured in the desk next to you. “It’ll happen at practice. I know it.” Huffing out a breath, you dropped your chin into your hands and zoned back in on the teacher’s droning. History was mind-numbingly boring; you just wanted to win the bet right now!
~~~
Walking hand-in-hand to volleyball practice directly after school, yours and Tsukishima’s gentle teasing was interrupted by wobbly shouts. “Kiyoko, you’re so amazing!”
You both recognized the voices and exchanged looks before running up to the open doors of the gym. Wow, what an embarrassing scene. Nishinoya and Tanaka were writhing around on the ground with overjoyed expressions and happy tears, hugging the disguised caramel onions to their chests in front of a highly confused team manager.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but get up off the ground.” The pair instantly hopped up at her monotonous command and whined after her as she walked away. Both schooled their expressions into utter seriousness and faced each other before intertwining their arms.
“We eat these caramel apples at the same time, in honor of our goddess Kiyoko.” Nishinoya’s face was humorless and dark as he held the unwrapped onion up to his own face. You cringed at the thought while your boyfriend began to snicker under his breath.
“Agreed, brochacho.” Tanaka nodded along, and together, they both took large bites of their unsavory treats, freezing up at the first taste.
Tsukishima grabbed onto you for stability while he wholeheartedly cracked up next to your ear. His howls echoed throughout the gym while you covered your mouth at the sight. In just two more bites, they had swallowed the onions whole with shadows on their faces. You were going to throw up, you just knew it. At last, the pair separated slowly and stared down at their empty sticks. They didn’t seem appalled or disgusted at all. Rather, they looked… stupefied.
“Kiyoko, those were delicious!” You flinched at the outburst as the pair suddenly skipped their way over to the unsuspecting third year and began to excitedly circle around her like a ritual. While she complained at their actions, your boyfriend was now roaring with laughter, his whole body shaking with each chuckle as he shoved his face into your shoulder to calm himself. You were still mystified by the stomach-churning show you had just watched. And finally, just when Tsukishima’s cackles began to slow, you moaned at your defeat.
“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” you whined in disbelief, “Did they seriously just eat whole onions? What the hell is wrong with those guys?!”
“I ask myself that question every day,” Tsukishima disclosed to you, pulling away to wipe off his glasses with a rag found in his pocket. Grumbling under your breath, you sigh before turning to him and placing your hands on your hips.
“All right, all right. Fine, you win. What do you want me to do?”
Returning his glasses to his face, his eyes flashed behind the lenses while he smirked deviously. “I thought you’d never ask.”
~~~
I wanna die, you thought to yourself as your face bloomed with telltale embarrassment. Keeping your head ducked, not that that would help hide you, you walk through the gates of Karasuno and make your way into school, small giggles trailing after you. Finally, you spot your boyfriend at the same time he easily notices you. Utterly miserable, you lazily drag your feet over to him, seething from inside your costume but staying silent nonetheless. It’s not like you could plan his murder out loud, after all.
Snickering victoriously, Tsukishima cheekily wrapped his arm around your shoulder. “Who’s the string bean now?”
*GIF not mine*
Summary: You’ve got a bad habit. You know that. So why does that blond smartass in your class keep ragging you about it?
A/N: I’m tired, but I didn’t wanna forget this idea. I wasn’t even gonna write tonight, but we already here, so… voila. (Btw, thanks for the follows and likes!!)

“Slouching’s bad for you, you know.” Kei Tsukishima, the tall, skinny, blond volleyball player who sat in the desk next to yours, remarked. At first, you thought it wasn’t him who spoke, as he hadn’t even looked at you when he said it, but you knew his arrogant voice. It was one of a kind. When you glanced at his blank face, it was directed towards the bag on his desk, obviously searching for something as his long fingers sifted through papers.
“So?” you retorted lamely, your head upturned at him with a raised brow. Though, you couldn’t care less how you sounded. You just wanted to return to studying for midterms, but his sudden blurting made you feel obligated to respond.
“So don’t slouch,” he shrugged simply, pulling his headphones up over his ears and leaving the classroom for lunch. Scoffing confusedly, you shake your head and return to the books, subconsciously straightening out your back and dismissing the cracks that ran through it.
~~~
Eyes anxiously scanning over the test, you nervously searched for any mistakes you may have made on the answer sheet. Your forehead dripped with sweat, and your breathing grew heavy. Crap, why did tests always rile you up like this, especially the important ones? This sucked. Flinching when the alarm sounded, signalling you were out of time, you hesitantly rose from your desk and dragged your feet to the teacher’s desk, handing her your test with shaky, unsure hands before returning to your seat and ducking your head into your arms. The footsteps around you from your fellow classmates gathering their things and exiting the classroom did nothing to block out the snicker from beside you.
“You really should stop slouching so much. You’re going to ruin your posture.” Tsukishima, again, single-handedly irritated you once more in the blink of an eye. What an amazing ability he has for pissing you off.
Huffing out a breath, you reluctantly twisted your head to face him, muttering, “What’s it to you, glasses?”
“Just saying it’s a rather unhealthy habit of yours,” he mused, flashing you a small smirk while swiftly pushing his glasses up his nose. Returning his expression with a sarcastic smile of your own, you ran your middle finger down the side of your face discreetly before dropping your head back into your arms exhaustedly. Chuckling under his breath, the blond’s footsteps echoed throughout the room as he walked away, leaving you alone in your self-degradation over your estimated test results.
~~~
The boy just didn’t seem to know how to let things go. He had criticized you for your slouching in the last year more than he had ever conversed with you in the twelve years that you have known him. That’s right, you and Tsukishima have been going to the same schools since you were both in diapers. Truth be told, you weren’t friends, but you weren’t complete strangers either. Plus, he always seemed to be a lone wolf, at least until Yamaguchi came along. So, even though he rarely talked to you before your first year of high school, his tolerance of your slouching habit seemed to have reached the end of its rope. He haughtily reamed your ass over it every single time he got the chance. Finishing the remainder of your homework for the day? Oh you bet he’s just a-waitin’ over your shoulder.
“Would you like some advice?”
“Is it to stop slou-”
“Don’t slouch.” Insert your groan here. Was that the only Japanese this guy knew?
Maybe you’re just contentedly discussing movies with your friends? Yep, he’s got something to say.
“Hey, YN, what’s that one series called again?” he interrupted, “‘Slouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?’”
“‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,’” you had corrected him tightly, jaw twitching in irritation. Eventually, you hit your boiling point; but hey, a little threatening never hurt anybody… right?
Four days ago:
“Hey YN?”
“Ughhh, what Tsukishima? What, what, what?”
“Stop slouching so much.”
“I swear I’m gonna strangle you one of these days, beanstalk.”
Two days ago:
“Don’t slouch.”
“Excuse me?”
“Don’t slouch so much. You look like the cat of a witch.”
“Oh my Go- you know what? I’m gonna castrate you. Slowly, at first, and then I’m gonna kick it up a notch. Just for you, beanpole.” You thought it was a grand idea, but he only laughed in your face and walked away. This guy’s gonna be the reason I have a drinking problem.
Yesterday:
“Don’t sl-”
You threateningly pointed at him with serious, wide eyes and raised brows. “I will snap you like a twig.” A chuckle. That’s all you got.
Finally, you had it. It was almost the end of the school year, and you just wanted to know why, even coming up with a theory of your own. But the question you believed you had the answer to still stood. Why did he keep bugging you about an issue that was definitely only yours to fix? So you caught him after school, and told him what you thought of his constant lectures. After all, they had kept you up all night last night, and maybe you had gone a little crazy, but you think you finally figured out why he was doing it.
“Hey.” You were following him down the steps of the school. “Hey Tsukishima!” you called, barely avoiding tripping over your own feet.
“What?” he responded gruffly, turning around to stare at you with obvious annoyance.
“I think I’ve figured out why you keep telling me to stop slouching.” Smiling victoriously, you nodded your head affirmatively at your own statement.
“Oh really?” he challenged with a heightened brow, a lopsided grin slowly forming.
“Yep. You’re just trying to tell me to stand tall. No matter what happens, what grade I get, or how I do on a test, you want me to keep my head high and my back straight. Before I figured that out, I thought it was annoying. Now, I think it’s really sweet of you-”
He rolled his eyes before he interrupted you with pink-tinged cheeks. “Psh, that’s not it. I just don’t want my future wife to have a hunchback when we grow old together.”
Oh.
Ohhhhhhh.

He hugs you randomly Tsukishima x reader
Kei isn't the type to shower you with physical affection. He would kiss and hug you occasionally or when you'd meet. So, when he randomly kissed you, without warning or reason, you got caught off guard and maybe your heart stopped for a few seconds.
you were in his house chilling, casually. you both were on your phones. you accidentally caught a glimpse of his lock screen. it was a picture of you and him, eating ice cream on Valentines day.
"aww that's us" you say rolling beside him. "yeah how cute" he replied sarcastically pretending not to care but, the blush on his cheeks said otherwise.
"never knew Tsukki could be such a simp" you teased. "truly loving someone doesn't make me a simp, no?" he replied.
you suddenly felt yourself falling deeper, your heart rate increasing. he turns towards you, smirking, knowing well of the effect he had on you. "shut up" you huffed. "it's usually me saying that" he replied, smirking bigger. "so how was practice today?" you tried to change the topic. "ehh alright. I hurt my fingers again" he complained holding up his hand, inspecting them. you took his palm and placed a small kiss on the back. out of the blue, he looks straight into you, a few seconds feel like minutes, he leans in. lips together as if they were conjoint. you were startled. Kei Tsukishima kissed you, without warning. was this even him? after what felt like you were on Cloud 9, your lips parted. "I just realized I should kiss you more often." he admitted. your mind replayed the same scene for the rest of the day and in the dark of the night, all in the back of your mind.
SCENARIO: You planned on surprising Tsukishima by showing up at his practice. You may not go to the same school, but you still spent most of your time together, but nationals were approaching and he was practicing a lot, which also meant you not being able to see him. So, you planned it out with Yamaguchi, who gave you the address to the school.
You opened the door to the gym and you gawked. You had never seen Tsukishima practice so hard before. Sure, he had his moments where he would work hard but it still awed you. He was practicing his blocks with a tiny orange haired guy who was spiking. You were even more shocked when you saw the tiny orange hair kid jump and spike the ball. You saw a look of disappointment in Tsukishima’s face when he could not block the spike. You took note of this expression because he hardly showed any other expressions apart from his signature poker face or some may even call it his listless face.
Before Tsukishima could even notice you, Yamaguchi called you and waved at you, you waved back and everyone stopped practicing to stare at you. Tanaka and Nishinoya being Tanaka and Nishinoya, ran towards you and started asking you all kinds of questions starting from “WHICH SCHOOL ARE YOU FROM!!!” to “MARRY MEEE!!!!”
You were taken aback and stepped back a little but you managed to say in a frail voice “um... I actually came to see Kei”
And that was when matters became worse as all the boys, particularly TANAKA, NISHINOYA, KAGEYAMA AND HINATA started exclaiming as to why in the world would someone want to meet Kei Tsukishima, not to mention such a pretty girl.
You blushed and tried to find Tsukishima who sighed as he made his way towards you and called out your name, almost immediately you made a bee line towards him and buried yourself in his chest. “I missed you” you said as you snuggled into him even more. He sighed “me too sweetheart, but you could have at least informed me that you were gonna come” you looked up at him (obviously since this boy is 190cm and you were a smol girl at just 165cm) guiltily and apologised, slightly pouting. You had not even realised the way his team mates were ogling at you guys. Your cute moment was only broken when Tanaka exclaimed “WHY DOES HE HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND WHILE WE ARE ALL SINGLE??? HELL, EVEN KAGEYAMA COULD HAVE HAD A GIRLFRIEND AND I WOULD NOT BE THIS SURPRISED.” and everyone nodded...... even Kageyama (LMAO)
You being they shy little kid that you are snuggled into Tsukishima even more and mumbled something, he lifted your chin so that you would directly look into his eyes and he said “what was that? what did you just say, love? Be clear.” “I got everyone some cookies and brownies that I baked yesterday at night. Since, all of you were working so hard, so I got them.” you whispered to Tsukishima, not feeling comfortable in talking to everyone.
“She says she has got you guys some brownies and cookies to eat, she baked them yesterday. If captain allows we could take a break?” Tsukishima asked as he turned towards Daichi who just nodded his head. Tsukishima looked at you and told you to get the basket in which the baked goods were placed and you obliged, as you distributed the baked goods you could not help but notice the way Tsukishima looked at you, the loving gaze that you missed. It was one of your favourite expressions that Tsukishima makes to you, not that there were many to choose from. You smiled at him and approached him, he slightly patted his leg silently asking you to sit on his lap and you obliged, even tho you were a blushing mess. If an outsider sees your relationship with him, they would probably wonder as to why a girl like you was dating such an expressionless man like him, but this was because they did notice the way his eyes followed you and how he would adjust himself for you, these small things were only noticed by people who were close to Tsukishima. He may be a man of less words, but he was literally the definition of ‘actions speak louder than words’
Obviously, after noticing this little interaction the Karasuno Team squealed and cooed at you guys which just made you blush even more, while Tsukki just sighed and continued eating the cookie he had in his hand, and feeding you. After this, you just stayed in the sidelines where Yachi and Kiyoko were sitting and they asked you about how Tsukishima treated you, how he asked you out and honestly, you enjoyed their presence. After practice ended Tsukki approached you and you automatically got up and held his hand, waving goodbye to the two managers who smiled and asked you to come over tomorrow. You nodded and waved at the other volleyball players who smiled at you and thanked you for the food you made for them.
You held your boyfriend’s hand as you walked with him and he asked “Did you have fun?” you nodded talking about how it was so cool watching him play and how it was so cool talking to his managers and it was just FUN. Tsukishima could not wipe that soft smile off his face because you just looked too cute talking and he just was a softie for you.
He walked you to your house and as he was bidding goodbye, he said “I am sorry if you felt neglected, you can come again of you want, I can pick you up from school and you can study in the volleyball court while we practice” You looked at him in awe, he did it again, he knew you did not have many friends in your school, he knew you felt lonely, he just knew.
You smiled at him and nodded and said “I would love to” and he pecked you on your cheek and forehead, as he was about to go you stopped him and he raised his eyebrow, you blushed and said “You can stay with me tonight, you already have your set of clothes here” and he just looked at you with unreadable eyes, but you could see a tiny smile on his lips as he agreed to stay with you.
Maybe dating the poker faced boy was not that bad at all. After all it was pretty obvious that he loved you and was willing to provide you with all the love and care in the world. You just had to be observant and close to Tsukishima to notice it.

ex!suna rintarō x singer! reader
hello im sorry u haven’t uploaded, i just started senior year and i have to keep my average to be able to achieve a scholarship
i made an edit bc for some reason the first two ss didn’t appear, idk if i didn’t upload them bc i was falling asleep??
suna hasn’t slept with anyone since his last time with y/n which was a year and months ago, but he felt that if he did it he would betray her
he also genuinely cannot bring himself to find any other girl attractive, he hasn’t tried but even if he did, he will fail
i read a fanfic abt tsukishima once where he could only get it up (if ykwim) with the reader, when he tried to sleep w a girl it wouldn’t get up, and i love that idea so it will probably be the same for suna(that fanfic is also the reason why i love exes to lovers)
suna also never tried to get laid bc in his mind hes still y/n’s, and he always had his hopes of getting back tg, he had never thought about the fact that she probably would get over him
thats bc suna knows he will never get over her, so he didn’t think she would
guess who suna wants to get laid by
atsumu and osamu are not being rude, they genuinely think y/n got over suna already (even though thats not the case)
osamu used to really hate the idea of his best friend dating his sister and they both forgetting abt him, but after seeing how in love they were, he became their biggest supporter
the count of days is how many days have passed since their breakup

HELLO NEW UPDATE, so i kinda forgot reader was a famous singer but i promise she will live the famous lifee
so, since atsumu is rlly famous he has found a lot of insane girls who would do anything for his money
y/n is in denial because she uses the hatred as a mechanism to cover the hurt
or well in more detail if she hates him then she doesnt feel sad or thats what she thinks
honestly i havent planned what their break up was but i have an idea and just telling yall everything could have been saved if they both knew how to communicate
tsumu and samu are really nice and lovely brothers to y/n
kei called bc y/n said she wanted to talk about suna and honestly he still roots for them
but y/n ended up mentioning him once and talking about a lot other stuff for three hours straight
ofc kei listened to everything hes a good listener but he wont admit that he doesn’t mind that shes yapping his ear off
as yall have noticed in most chapters just one important thing happens and the next is humor, i want it to feel natural and not too rushed and i also love crack smaus so yes
they call y/n kid and kiddo even though shes 8 minutes older than atsumu and 13 minutes older than osamu

they just like their girls a little bit insane
y/n loves flirting with omi even if he never reciprocates, she does it to mess with his brother
atsumu is 100% against her dating his best friend after seeing how it turned out when she dated osamus best friend
y/n hasnt visited the twins apartment in a year because shes scared shell run into suna
im trying to make atsumu a lovable brother, because everyone always makes him annoying and i love atsumu :(
osamu changed the topic to his ex on purpose, he knew suna would get really sulky if they started talking about y/n in a serious way
y/n is a bit cray cray but its okay cause suna luvs it

suna used to hate tsukishima because of how close he was to yn
like he would get really jealous and insecure
like suna was sure tsukishima and yn were in love with each other and it was only a matter of time for them to realize it and for yn to leave him
i do not blame him, remember they even call each other platonic soulmates? well he thought the platonic part was temporary

Practice was in full swing.
The gym pulsed with life—shoes squeaking, volleyballs echoing like thunder against arms, and shouts bouncing between walls and bodies. Every member of Karasuno was locked into their rhythm, sweaty and determined, moving like cogs in one beautifully chaotic machine. Even Tsukishima and Kageyama hadn’t snapped at each other in a full ten minutes. A miracle.
You stood just off-court, your well-worn notebook tucked under your arm, scribbling quick notes with your favorite pencil. It was smudged with graphite and bite marks from weeks of you chewing the eraser, but it had personality. The court rotations were finally clicking, and Daichi had asked you to track when fatigue set in for Hinata.
Yachi stood a few feet away, stopwatch in hand, glancing nervously between you and the court like she could already feel a storm brewing. You didn't blame her. You'd been with this team long enough to sense disaster. And it was always when things were going too well.
On the court, Kageyama and Hinata were locked in a rally that looked more like a battle. Kageyama’s sets were razor sharp, and Hinata—well, Hinata was grinning like someone had just given him permission to fly.
You looked down to scribble a quick note when your pencil slipped through your fingers.
It bounced once against your shoe, then rolled straight onto the court.
“Seriously?” you muttered, bending to grab it.
One foot stepped just slightly over the line. Just enough.
And from across the gym, like the harbinger of doom:
“Kageyama! Toss me something crazy!”
You looked up.
Hinata was airborne. Silhouetted in the gym lights. Hair tousled, arm cocked back, grinning like a man possessed.
Oh shit—
CRACK.
The volleyball connected square with your face before you could flinch. Pain exploded behind your eyes. Your feet left the floor—literally. Your notebook flung into the air like a paper bird.
You hit the ground with a full-bodied thud. Hard.
Silence followed. Absolute and deafening.
Then—
“OH MY GOD I’M SO SORRY!” Hinata shrieked, rooted in place like he'd just committed an unforgivable sin.
“Hinata, you dumbass!” Kageyama barked across the court, the set still lingering in his hands.
Tanaka skidded to a halt next to you, eyes wide. “You flew!”
“Like three feet off the ground!” Noya yelled, already by your side. “I haven’t seen airtime like that since that one pancake save!”
“Shut up!” Daichi barked as he sprinted over.
“Tanaka, Noya—back off!” Sugawara snapped, dropping to his knees beside you.
You blinked, dazed. Your head was throbbing, your ears ringing, and your face—oh god, your face hurt like hell. When you touched your nose, your fingers came away red.
“Oh, cool,” you muttered. “Nosebleed.”
Kiyoko was suddenly there, calm and terrifyingly efficient. She didn’t speak. She simply pressed tissues against your face with steady fingers, her other hand gently cupping your jaw to keep you from tilting your head back.
“Don’t move yet,” she said softly.
Yachi was crying. Not loudly—just little hiccups of panic as she dropped to her knees beside you, clutching the stopwatch like it could save your life.
“She's bleeding,” she whispered. “There’s so much blood…”
“She'll be fine,” Ennoshita said gently, crouching beside her. “It looks worse than it is.”
“Yeah, I’m fine,” you groaned, trying to sit up. “Just give me—”
You braced your palm against the floor, feeling the coolness of the gym through your fingertips. Your legs shifted underneath you, muscles tight with tension but fueled by sheer stubbornness. Slowly, you pushed off the ground and began to rise.
For half a second, it felt like you had it under control.
Then everything spun.
The gym floor rippled beneath your feet, tilting like a boat on rough water. Your vision smeared at the edges—colors blending, lights flickering. A low, sickening throb pulsed behind your eyes, then rushed like a wave toward your temples. You sucked in a breath, trying to steady yourself, but your knees buckled sharply.
A startled gasp slipped from your mouth as your body tilted sideways, gravity pulling you down faster than your brain could keep up.
Sugawara and Daichi caught you in unison—each locking an arm around your back with practiced, urgent precision. Like bodyguards. Like anchors.
“Okay, no,” Sugawara said, breath tight as he shifted his stance.
“Absolutely not,” Daichi echoed, voice firm as steel. “Sit. Now.”
They guided you back down to the floor as if you were made of glass.
Asahi hovered a few steps away, nervously wringing his towel. “Should we call someone? Get the school nurse?”
“She’s not on shift right now,” Kinoshita said, pulling out his phone. “Should I call the front desk?”
“Can’t we just carry her?” Narita asked, eyes wide. “I mean—not like drag her, but—gently?”
“She’s not a sack of rice!” Yachi exclaimed, clutching your notebook like it was her emotional support item. “We can’t just—lug her around!”
“I can carry her!” Asahi offered, visibly panicking. “I mean, if—if she wants. Or not. But I can! I swear!”
“No!” You and Daichi said simultaneously.
“You don’t have to drag her to the nurse’s office,” Tanaka muttered, half-serious, half-pouting. “We could just… y’know. Roll her in something.”
“Like a blanket burrito,” Noya added helpfully.
“Shut up!” came Daichi’s bark again.
Behind the main group, Tsukishima stood with his arms crossed. “That’s what happens when you step onto the court during a rally.”
Yamaguchi, crouching beside him, frowned. “She looks pretty hurt, Tsukki.”
Tsukishima shrugged but said nothing else.
“I didn’t mean to,” Hinata said suddenly, his voice soft, wavering. “It was just one more spike. I didn’t think…”
You tilted your head toward him, barely mustering a tired smile beneath the tissues. “Nice spike, though.”
He looked like he was going to cry.
“We should get her to the nurse,” Ennoshita said again, glancing toward the exit. “Even if no one’s in, it’s quieter there.”
“I’m coming too,” Kiyoko said, standing and brushing off her skirt. “Yachi, grab her bag.”
Daichi and Sugawara gently pulled you to your feet again, this time slower, with careful pauses between every movement. You leaned against them, breathing through the dizziness as they helped you to the door.
Behind you, the gym buzzed in confused silence.
“You’re too brave for this world,” Tanaka whispered with reverence.
“She’s got that dog in her,” Noya added solemnly.
“SHUT UP, YOU IDIOTS!” Daichi yelled over his shoulder.
As the doors closed behind you, you heard one last frantic voice.
“I’ll bring a fruit basket! I’LL MAKE TEA!” Hinata shouted, his panic echoing across the gym.
You groaned. “Please don’t.”
Hello!! I just want to say before I request anything that I absolutely ADORE your writing. You’ve quickly become one of my favorite writers! I’m constantly checking to see if you’ve posted LOL please keep it up! <3
if it’s not too much trouble, could I request us doing face-masks with Tsukishima or Akaashi? Either or both is fine, I have zero preference!
Thank you in advance mwa mwa !!
🌱
This is adorable and I am in LOVE. I literally just spat this out lolol Me being a favourite writer of anybody is a dream 🥹 Thank you for enjoying my work!! I'll make sure to post just for you 🥰 I hope you enjoy <333 --
It started with a panda.
Or rather, it started with you, lounging on the couch with a ridiculous animal-print face mask plastered to your face, scrolling through your phone like nothing was out of the ordinary. You wore it like a second skin—completely unbothered, completely at peace.
And then Tsukishima walked in.
He froze halfway through the doorway of your shared apartment, one brow raised as he took in the sight of you in your oversized hoodie, face glistening with a panda-shaped sheet mask.
“...You good?”
“Thriving,” you said simply, not even bothering to look up.
He didn’t respond right away. Just dropped his bag by the door and walked in with that usual lazy gait, eyeing you like you were some sort of cryptid he wasn’t sure how to handle.
“You look ridiculous,” he said eventually, standing behind the couch now, arms crossed.
You peeked up at him with a smirk. “That’s rich coming from someone who used to wear sport goggles indoors.”
He narrowed his eyes at you. You stuck your tongue out.
“Is this one of those self-care things?” he asked, nose wrinkling slightly as he stared at the mask. “Like cucumbers-on-the-eyes and bath bombs?”
“Exactly that,” you nodded. “Except these ones are more fun. They have animals on them.” You pointed to the half-empty package on the coffee table. “You wanna be a tiger or a polar bear?”
He stared at you.
You stared back.
“Absolutely not,” he said flatly.
“You’re doing it.”
“No, I’m not.”
“Yes, you are.”
You were already peeling one of the masks from its packaging with careful fingers, holding it up like a peace offering. It was orange-striped with little ears on top. Then you reached behind you and grabbed a matching tiger-print headband, complete with pointy ears.
"And this," you said, holding it up triumphantly. "To keep your hair out of your face."
He looked positively scandalized. "There is no way I—"
"Oh, you are," you cut in, already nudging it toward him. "C'mon, Kei. Don't you want the full experience?"
He looked at the headband, then at you, then back at the headband like it personally offended him. But when you wiggled your brows at him and smiled with full confidence, he muttered something under his breath and snatched it from your hand.
"You owe me so much for this."
"Add it to my tab."
He rolled his eyes but said nothing as you helped him unfold the mask and carefully place it over his face.
“Okay, hold still. It has to line up with your eyes… okay, a little to the left—no, my left… there.”
You leaned back to admire your work. Tsukishima, volleyball star, tall and smug and forever exasperated, now sat beside you wearing a bright orange tiger face mask that made his scowl look ten times funnier.
“...You look adorable.”
“I look like a joke,” he said dryly.
You took a photo.
“Delete it.”
“Never.”
Despite all his complaining, Tsukishima stayed there with you for the full fifteen minutes, arms crossed and huffing dramatically every so often. But he didn’t move. And when you started scrolling through your phone again, his thigh pressed just a little closer to yours.
And when the timer went off and you both peeled the masks off with grossed-out noises, you glanced at him with a grin.
“So?”
“So what?”
“Do you feel refreshed and radiant?”
Tsukishima rolled his eyes. “I feel sticky.”
You laughed and leaned over to kiss his cheek. “You’re glowing, tiger boy.”
He shook his head but didn’t push you away. In fact, a small, reluctant smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Maybe face masks weren’t the worst way to spend a lazy evening.
By third year, you'd think you and Tsukishima would've grown out of it—that exhausting little game you two played. Bickering like it was a sport, tension so thick the rest of the team had stopped trying to intervene. Kageyama used to flinch when you raised your voice. Yamaguchi had once tried to play mediator until Tsukishima shut him down with a look. Now everyone just let it happen. It was routine. Expected. Like the sun rising or Hinata yelling.
But even routines fray when they go unchecked.
Practice had been winding down when Yachi leaned in closer, her voice hushed just enough not to carry over the sound of the guys drilling serves. You were both by the bench, pretending to organize water bottles, but really—you were gossiping.
"I mean… he’s cute," she said, trying to hide her smile behind her clipboard. "And he’s nice. The captain of the basketball team asking you out isn’t nothing—you could give it a shot, right?"
You rolled your eyes, glancing toward the court—though your gaze snagged on a tall blond figure for half a second too long. "Yeah. Maybe. He’s handsome, smart, polite."
It was a lie.
You didn’t want nice.
You wanted someone else.
Someone whose voice grated on your nerves, who always had a snide comment for everything you did, who knew exactly how to provoke you and never held back.
You wanted someone who made you feel something.
Now the gym was quiet. Yachi had left twenty minutes ago, and you were the only one left locking up.
Or so you thought.
The doors creaked.
You turned, already annoyed. "I'm about to lock up—"
Tsukishima.
He stood in the doorway like he owned the place, one strap of his bag over his shoulder, golden eyes steady. Annoyingly calm. He didn’t even flinch at your tone.
You rolled your eyes. "Forgot your headphones again? Or do you just enjoy making my job harder?"
He didn’t answer. Not with words.
Instead, he stepped closer, his gaze sharp. Too focused.
Then he said it. Like it wasn’t the most jarring thing to say after a week full of snipes and insults.
“Don’t date him.”
You blinked. “What?”
“I said,”—he stepped closer—“don’t date him.”
You stared, mouth parting. You hated the way your pulse jumped. Hated it more because it was him.
“…Are you serious right now?”
His jaw clenched, but his voice stayed even. “Yeah.”
You laughed. Sharp. Bitter. “What, you get to talk shit to me every day and then play jealous boyfriend when someone else shows interest?”
“It’s not that.”
“Then what is it, Tsukishima?”
Silence.
And then, finally, something cracks in his expression. Not a smile. Not exactly. More like surrender.
“You drive me crazy,” he muttered. “But you’re all I think about.”
That shut you up. Just for a second.
He looked away first. “I’m not asking you to like me back. Just… don’t date him.”
You folded your arms, heartbeat loud in your ears. “That’s a shitty confession.”
He glanced back, and for once, his smirk was small. Almost nervous. "Would you have taken it seriously if I said it any other way?"
You paused.
“…Maybe.”
He scoffed lightly, shaking his head. "And Captain of the basketball team? Even you know you could do better. Guy probably thinks a free throw line is romantic."
There was bite in it. Smugness too—the kind that always laced his voice when he thought he had the upper hand. But underneath the jab was something messier, unspoken. Something that sounded too much like 'I care' for either of you to ignore.
But you laughed, and as you stepped past him, you caught a fistful of his collar and yanked him down just enough to crash your lips against his—firm, unrelenting, like every argument you two had ever had boiled down into a single moment.
His breath hitched, but he didn’t pull away.
You broke the kiss just as abruptly, brushing past him with heat still prickling at your cheeks.
“Just take me out this Saturday, asshole.”
Gurllll
So we're in college and tsuki get dragged into a party, but he ends up chilling in the back just drinking or smoking and listening to music
That's where we first spot him,and like we knew each other from the high-school team but not really know each other y'know?
Then they end up talking and chilling and playing some gamesss like truth or dare or sm
Idk I'm kinda imagining it just chilling and having deep conversations and talk about things in common
Gorl I gotchu ;p ~~
Tsukishima had no idea why he was here.
Correction—he knew exactly why. Yamaguchi had guilt-tripped him into coming, saying something about how he needed to "expand his social life" and "stop being a recluse." He hadn't been able to argue much when he was already agreeing just to get his best friend off his back.
Of course, Yamaguchi wasn't even here. Some excuse about having an early morning study session had conveniently surfaced at the last second; Leaving Tsukishima alone at a party he had no interest in attending when a better use of his Friday night would be staying in his dorm with his headphones on, zoning out to some documentary about prehistoric marine life.
All he felt was betrayal.
This was the same useless chatter, the same shallow interactions, the same pointless noise that made him want to walk right back out the door. He leaned against the back wall, drink in hand, half-listening to whatever trash playlist was blaring through the speakers. His gaze occasionally flickered over the room, not because he was interested in anything but because it gave him something to do other than stand there like an idiot.
He didn’t recognize most of the people here. He barely cared to. Drunken laughter rang in his ears, a couple stumbled past him, and someone yelled something incomprehensible from the other side of the room. His patience was already wearing thin. His foot tapped against the ground, a subtle tick of irritation.
Then, through the shifting bodies and dim, flickering lights, his gaze caught on someone who was familiar.
You.
You were weaving through the party, clearly uninterested, your expression giving away just how much you didn't want to be here. There was something oddly reassuring about that—someone else in the same predicament. A memory clicked into place after a few seconds. Second-year. Same class. You'd sat a row over by the window, always making snide remarks under your breath whenever the teacher said something ridiculous. He'd smirked at a few of them but never actually talked to you.
And now, here you were. And you’d seen him too.
Your eyes met across the room, a quiet recognition passing between you. Then, without hesitation, you started making your way over. He briefly considered looking away, pretending he hadn’t noticed, but it was already too late.
"Hey... Tsukishima, right? We had a class together in second year." You stopped beside him, tilting your head slightly. "Never thought I’d see you at a party. Let me guess—you lost a bet?"
He huffed, taking a sip from his drink. "Close. My friend thought I needed to ‘socialize more.’"
You deadpanned. "That’s disgusting. I’m sorry for your loss."
A snort left him before he could stop it. "Yeah, well. He’s not even here."
You raised a brow. "He ditched you?"
"Told me he had ‘studying’ to do." Tsukishima made air quotes with his free hand. "Like that wasn’t his plan all along."
"Brutal." You leaned against the wall beside him, arms crossed. "And yet, here you are. Holding up your end of the deal like a good little soldier."
Tsukishima rolled his eyes. "For now."
You smirked, turning your gaze back to the chaotic mess in front of you. "This place is awful."
"Yeah." His gaze flicked over the crowd, unimpressed. "Not sure what’s worse—the music or the people."
"Tough call," you mused. "The music is bad, but at least it doesn’t try to hold a conversation with you."
Tsukishima let out a quiet, amused exhale. "Fair point."
A beat passed before you sighed, shifting your weight. "You wanna get out of here?"
He glanced at you, gauging if you were serious. He wasn’t usually the type to just leave somewhere with someone he barely knew. But this was unbearable. And you? You at least had a functional brain in your head.
His brows lifted slightly, but he didn’t hesitate. "God, yes."
Neither of you said anything more as you slipped through the party, out the door, and into the cold night air. The shift was immediate—the tension of the party dissipating the moment you stepped onto the sidewalk, the dull hum of the city streets far more tolerable than whatever chaotic mess was happening inside.
You walked without a real destination, just following the quiet rhythm of the night, side by side under streetlights casting long shadows across pavement. The city wasn’t asleep, but it was quieter now, the occasional car passing by, a few other night-walkers making their way home.
"So, what’d you do to deserve being dragged here?" he asked, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"I thought I could be like everyone else our age." You sighed dramatically. "Clearly, I make poor choices."
Tsukishima huffed. "Yeah, you and me both."
Silence stretched between you, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. The streets were mostly empty, the occasional passing car throwing streaks of light across the pavement. You kicked a stray pebble down the sidewalk, watching it bounce before speaking again.
"So, are you still doing that volleyball thing?"
Tsukishima looked at you, unimpressed. "Wow. Stalker much?"
You rolled your eyes. "Yeah, totally. I spend all my free time keeping tabs on people I barely spoke to in high school."
Tsukishima let out a quiet scoff but found himself smirking despite himself. "Right. Of course."
You nudged him lightly with your elbow before switching topics. "So, what’s your major?"
He glanced at you, wondering if you actually cared or if you were just making conversation. "Geology."
You raised a brow, a knowing look crossing your face. "Dinosaurs, huh?"
Tsukishima tensed. "What? No. Rocks."
You let out a low laugh. "Sure. Totally not related."
He rolled his eyes, but the corner of his lips twitched. "What about you?"
"Oh, I don't really have one. I prefer to just float. You know, jack of all trades and that jazz."
Tsukishima found that slightly funny, though he didn’t show it beyond a slight shake of his head. "So you plan to graduate with nothing, then?"
"That’s the dream."
The back-and-forth was easy, natural. Neither of you felt the need to fill every silence with meaningless words, and yet, the conversation kept flowing. Complaints about professors, stupid classmates, the absurdity of group projects—somehow, it all felt lighter when it was shared.
At some point, your steps slowed, and you both lingered near a street corner, neither of you saying anything for a few beats. A breeze rolled past, cool against the lingering warmth of the night, and you rocked back on your heels before tilting your head slightly to glance at him.
"You know," you started, drawing out the words, "I half-expected you to be a bigger ass."
Tsukishima blinked at you, arching a brow. "And I expected you to be less annoying."
You let out a low laugh, shaking your head. "So we’re both disappointed. Great."
Tsukishima didn’t answer, but he huffed out something close to a laugh, subtle but there. The conversation had been nothing but casual snark and easy complaints, but there was something oddly comfortable about it—like the banter wasn’t just passing time but filling a space that neither of you had realized was empty until now.
Eventually, you stopped at the entrance to the subway station. You looked up at him, hands stuffed in your pockets, shifting slightly on your feet before smirking.
"I like complaining about things with you," you said, voice lighter than before. "Let’s do it again sometime."
And then, just like that, you turned and disappeared down the stairs.
Tsukishima stood there, watching as the train rumbled to life, departing into the tunnels with you on it.
A sigh slipped out of him, and he muttered to himself, "... yeah... me too."
Then, like an idiot, it hit him.
He didn’t ask for your number.
Great.
Tsukishima Kei had always been a man of quiet focus. He wasn’t one for unnecessary emotions on the court, and even in a high-stakes match, his expression rarely changed from that of mild indifference. It drove some of his teammates crazy, especially during moments like this—tied score, final set, the pressure mounting like a heavy storm cloud over the court.
The crowd roared around them, the energy in the gym palpable, but Kei remained as impassive as ever as he stepped up to serve. The ball rested in his hand, his fingers flexing over the synthetic leather, calculating the perfect trajectory. He took a breath, tuned out the noise—
And then he heard you.
“LET’S GO, KEI! YOU GOT THIS, BABY!”
Your voice cut through the chaos like a knife, loud and unwavering, filled with pure, unfiltered enthusiasm. It was the kind of cheer that had heads turning—not just in the stands, but on the court as well. The sideline players of the Sendai Frogs exchanged looks, one of them letting out an amused snort.
On the bench, the sideline players of the Sendai Frogs nudged each other, exchanging grins.
"Man, they're such opposites," one of them chuckled.
"Seriously," another added, shaking his head. "I bet he just tunes it out entirely."
Kei, however, did not react. Not outwardly, at least. He merely exhaled, tossing the ball into the air, bringing his arm back, and striking it with precision. The ball sailed over the net, untouched, an ace. A perfect point.
You erupted from your seat. “WOOHOO! THAT’S MY HUSBAND!”
Your cheers drowned out the announcer’s call, your hands clapping wildly as you beamed at the court. The energy was infectious, even drawing a smirk from one of Kei’s teammates.
“He really doesn’t deserve someone as fun as her,” a player on the bench teased.
Kei, who hadn't actually heard the comment, still felt like he was being talked about. His gaze shifted toward the teammate in question, sharp and unreadable. The player stiffened slightly under the weight of the look, laughing nervously. "Uh—never mind."
Though his expression remained neutral as they reset for the next point, you didn’t miss the slight twitch at the corner of his lips—a flicker of something, almost imperceptible, but you knew better. You knew he heard you. And you knew, despite his attitude, he didn’t mind.
The match pressed on, the tension thick in the air. Every point was fought for, the score inching closer and closer to victory. You kept cheering, never once faltering, your voice the constant, unwavering backdrop to Kei’s unshakable calm. Each time he stepped up to block or assist, you felt your heart race, willing him to succeed. Even when he wasn’t actively playing, your eyes remained glued to him, catching the subtle movements—his sharp gaze, the way his fingers curled into his palms, the way he subtly adjusted his position to anticipate the next play.
One of the opposing players served a near-perfect ball, fast and aggressive, but Kei anticipated it. His block was perfectly timed, and the ball slammed to the floor on the other side of the net. The referee signaled the point, and the crowd went wild.
“YES! THAT’S MY MAN!” you shrieked, standing up so fast that the people next to you startled.
“Hey, sit down, you’re blocking the view!” someone called playfully, but you barely heard them. Your entire world was on the court, watching Kei as he straightened, not even celebrating the way his teammates were.
And then, the final point.
A perfectly executed play sealed the win, and before you could process it, the Sendai Frogs were celebrating. The crowd erupted in cheers, but none were as loud as yours.
“YES! WOOOO!”
The players exchanged congratulations, the team huddling together in exhausted relief. Kei, as always, stayed a step behind the others, rolling his shoulders as he walked toward the sidelines. But his eyes flickered to the stands, just once, just enough for you to catch it before he looked away.
Your grin stretched even wider. He didn’t need to say it. That glance alone told you everything.
Tsukishima Kei was not a man of grand gestures or loud emotions. But you were, and that was okay.
Because when the dust settled, when the match was won, and the crowd began to disperse, Kei walked straight toward you. And in that split second before he passed by, his fingers brushed against yours—a silent acknowledgment, a fleeting moment of appreciation just for you.
You didn’t need anything more than that.
But you still made sure to yell one last time as he walked past, just to see his ears go a little red.
“I LOVE YOU, KEI!”
His teammates howled with laughter as he groaned, dragging a hand over his face.
“…I regret everything.”
And yet, as he walked toward the locker rooms, his fingers lingered just slightly against the edge of yours, as if to say he didn't regret it at all.
Tsukishima had never been the jealous type.
Or so he liked to believe.
But as he stood a few feet away from you at the museum’s fundraising gala, swirling the last bit of whiskey in his glass, he couldn’t help the slow simmer of irritation building in his chest.
Some guy—some obnoxiously confident guy—was standing way too close to you.
Tsukishima watched as the man leaned in just slightly, flashing a charming grin, his hand gesturing a little too animatedly for whatever mindless conversation he was trying to impress you with. You were polite, nodding at whatever he was saying, but Tsukishima caught the way your fingers curled slightly against the fabric of your dress—the telltale sign that you were uncomfortable.
His jaw clenched.
Tsukishima was a logical man. He knew you weren’t interested, knew you were his in every way that mattered—but that didn’t stop the irrational flicker of annoyance coursing through him.
So he drained the rest of his drink, set the glass down on the nearest table, and made his way over.
“Excuse me,” his voice came out smooth, a fraction lower than usual as he slid an arm around your waist, pulling you firmly against his side. His hand rested just above your hip, fingers pressing into the fabric of your dress in a silent claim. Mine.
You blinked up at him, momentarily surprised, before a small smile tugged at your lips.
The man, however, didn’t seem to take the hint. “Oh, I was just having a great conversation with—”
“She’s not interested.”
There was no venom in Tsukishima’s tone—just a matter-of-fact finality that left no room for argument.
The man blinked, looking between the two of you before finally stepping back with a sheepish laugh. “Ah… right. My mistake.”
He made some excuse to leave, and as soon as he was out of earshot, you turned to Tsukishima with an amused look. “Jealous, Kei?”
He scoffed, adjusting his glasses. “You’re delusional.”
“Oh, sure,” you teased, poking at his chest. “That wasn’t possessiveness at all.”
Tsukishima exhaled sharply, but his arm around your waist didn’t loosen. If anything, his grip on you tightened.
“…I just didn’t like how he was looking at you,” he muttered.
Your teasing softened. Tilting your head, you leaned up, pressing a kiss to the corner of his mouth.
“I only look at you, you know.”
Tsukishima’s eyes flickered to yours, something unreadable behind his gaze. Then, as if satisfied with your answer, he let out a small “Tch,” and pulled you even closer.
“…Good.”
Tsukishima adjusted his glasses, that infuriating smirk curling on his lips as he glanced your way. “You know, for someone who talks so much, you don’t actually do much worth noticing.”
You let out a sharp snort, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a real reaction. “Says the guy whose biggest skill is standing there and pretending he’s better than everyone.”
He tilted his head slightly, the smirk deepening like he was enjoying every second of this. “Pretending? That’s cute. I didn’t realize you thought I had to try.”
You crossed your arms and stepped closer, eyes narrowing. “Wow, you're exhausting to be around. Is it lonely being this much of an asshole?”
His chuckle was dry, almost condescending, as he leaned in just enough to make your breath hitch. “Oh, don’t worry about me. It’s nice having peace and quiet—something you clearly wouldn’t understand.”
Your glare sharpened, but you refused to back down. “Yeah, because your personality screams ‘quiet and peaceful.’ You’re just bitter because I don’t let you get away with your holier-than-thou act.”
Tsukishima’s lips twitched, his amusement barely contained. “Bitter? Please. If I cared what you thought, I’d have to actually take you seriously first.”
You met his gaze, your smirk finally matching his. “Sure, keep telling yourself that. We both know I live rent-free in that big head of yours.”
His eyes narrowed, and for a moment, his smirk faltered before coming back sharper than ever. He leaned down slightly, his voice dropping to a low murmur. “Living there? Don’t flatter yourself. You’re more like an annoying commercial I can’t skip.”
You stepped even closer, now toe-to-toe with him, your voice just as low and taunting. “Funny, because for someone who doesn’t care, you sure love watching.”
For a moment, neither of you moved, the air between you practically crackling with tension. His gaze flickered down to your lips, then back up to your eyes, his smirk wavering in a way that almost looked—what, unsure? No way. This was Tsukishima, the king of snark. But the silence was heavy, loaded with something neither of you seemed willing to name.
“Uh… Am I interrupting something?”
Both of you jumped, heads snapping to the side where Yamaguchi stood awkwardly in the doorway, clutching a volleyball and looking like he’d rather be anywhere else. His wide eyes darted between the two of you, a light pink dusting his cheeks.
“What are you—” Tsukishima started, his usual dry tone already creeping in, but Yamaguchi cut him off, holding up a hand like he was afraid to hear more.
“Don’t even explain. I’m good. I just… Daichi’s looking for you two, so, uh… maybe deal with that? Whenever you’re done… whatever this is.” He disappeared around the corner so fast it was like he was never there.
You blinked, heat creeping up your neck as you realized just how close you and Tsukishima were standing. He stepped back first, casually adjusting his glasses like the moment had never happened. You, on the other hand, couldn’t resist.
“Guess that’s your cue to stop glaring at me like I ruined your life, Tsukishima,” you quipped, raising a brow as you crossed your arms.
Tsukishima shot you a sidelong glance, his usual smirk and condescension firmly in place. “I only look like that when someone’s wasting my time.”
You scoffed, turning on your heel with a grin. “Yeah, sure. Keep telling yourself that.” You headed down the hall, leaving him to follow, still glaring at your back.
