The morning after your outing with Kuroo, you walk to school as though everything was perfectly normal. However, that feeling ends once you turn into your classroom and suddenly feel yourself get pushed back into the hall.

"What the hell, Tsukishima?" you yell.

Without an answer, Tsukishima starts pulling you down the hall. You look down to see he's grabbing tightly onto your wrist.

"What are you doing, dumbass?" you try to call out, but again do not receive an answer.

Eventually, Tsukishima stops in an empty hallway and pushes you up against a wall.

"What wrong with you?" you ask.

"The date-" Tsukishima groans.

"Shut up," you say as you push him away from you "it wasn't a goddamn date and you already know that."

What an asshole, dragging me all of the way out here just to ask me about Kuroo.

You start to walk down the hall to get back to your classroom.

What's his deal anyway?

You stop and take a deep breath. When you turn around, you see that Tsukishima actually looks upset. You sigh and walk back over to him.

What's the big problem? Why does everybody care if it's a date or not?

"Look Tsukishima," you try to say empathetically "I made it perfectly clear to Kuroo that it wasn't a date so you don't need to be so overprotective, okay?"

"What the hell did you just say to me?"

"Uh, Tsukki I-"

"Did Kuroo tell you to say that?"

"What the fuck? No! Why would he tell me to say that?"

Yesterday when Y/N left Kuroo to go back into the gym before their 'date', you look for Kuroo outside the gym.

Where the hell is that asshole?

You walk around the gym and find him on the side. As you turn the corner, you see him smirking at you.

"Hey Tsukki-dude how you doin'?"

"Shut up," you groan.

Without hesitation, you walk up to him and grab him by his shirt.

"What are you going here?" you ask impatiently.

Kuroo smiles. "I'm about to take Y/N out, that's all."

"Lay one finger on her and you won't get to see her again," you say as you let go of Kuroo.

"Man," Kuroo says as he puts his hand on your shoulder "you're so overprotective, you know that?"

"You don't get to make that judgment," you reply as you walk away, back into the gym.

As you walk back inside, you see Y/N standing near the door. You try to compose yourself and not look at her, but accidentally send her a glare.

"Tsukishima!" Y/N calls out to you as she approaches.

There's no way I can talk to her right now.

As you ignore her, she places a hand on your arm.

"Are you okay, Tsukishima?" she asks as though she really cares.

Dammit. I can't deal with this right now.

You immediately pull your arm away from her.

"Your date is waiting," you harshly remind her.

"I-It's not a date," she says sadly.

You look down at her, but she avoids your face.

I can't tell if she has feelings for him or if she's just hiding them for my sake.

"Whatever," you scoff as you pick up your bag.

I wish I could just talk to her about it, but I've got no idea how to bring that kind of shit up.

You freeze a moment as you contemplate telling her off again, but push past and leave the gym.

"Did Kuroo tell you to say that?" Tsukishima growls.

"What the fuck? No! Why would he tell me to say that?"

You watch as Tsukishima relaxes a bit.

"D-Did you have fun?"

You begin to hear a bit of sadness in his tone, but you're not sure why.

"W-Well yeah, but seriously it was just as friends," you defend to try and convince him again.

Tsukishima breaths out deeply, causing your body to tense up out of fear for what he's going to say next.

"Kuroo better not have even touched you," he mutters before walking away.

"T-Tsukishima," you call out weakly.

You stand in the empty hallway stunned by what you heard Tsukishima say.

Dammit, am I seriously into Tsukishima? Why'd I almost get chills hearing him say that?

You run down the hallway, hoping to find Tsukishima. You weren't sure exactly what you were going to tell him, but you wanted to find him anyway. Eventually, you get to your classroom and see he is already sitting down.

I guess I'll wait until I figure out what I want to tell him...

Before practice starts, Kiyoko walks over to you. "Hey Y/N, you walk home right?" she asks as she makes her way towards you.

"Yep, I live nearby," you tell her happily.

"Oh good. Will you walk home with me today?" she asks.

"Of course I will!"

"Also, Y/N, why was Kuroo here yesterday?"

"Well, uh, I went to hang out with him," you say quietly.

"Was it a date?" she asks calmly.

"No no no, it wasn't like that. It wasn't a date!" you say nervously.

"Date?" Shoyo questions as he runs up to you "Who did you go on a date with?"

You look around the room anxiously to make sure Tsukishima wasn't listening to the conversation. Your eyes land on Suga and Asahi who look like they're both interested in your answer. You can't help but feel your cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

"Date?" Tanaka and Nishinoya yell out from behind you, causing you to jump.

"No I didn't go on a date with anybody," you defend yourself "it's just a misunderstanding guys."

"Oh is that why Kuroo was here yesterday?" Asahi asks.

Goddammit, Asahi...

"You're right Asahi," Kiyoko nods "I did see Y/N with Kuroo yesterday, too."

"You guys," you mutter as your face turns bright red "it wasn't a date!"

"I'm going on a date with Kiyoko after practice," Tanaka proudly tells the group.

"Shut up Tanaka you liar," Suga laughs.

The rest of the group groans and walks away, knowing the conversation is going to turn into a Kiyoko simp-fest.

"Tanaka," Kiyoko turns to him and calmly states "that's not happening."

You giggle as Kiyoko walks away.

"Aw it's okay Tanaka," you say while patting his shoulder "don't give up."

"S-She talked to me," Tanaka whispers excitedly.

"Y/N-can," he cries as he hugs you "you're so sweet. I wish you weren't dating Kuroo."

"Get off of me dummy," you groan as you push him away from you "go back to practicing your shitty spikes."

"Shitty!" he yells out to you.

"Just go!" you complain as you push him to the center of the gym.
