"I feel the same way," he says as he walks past you.

Your face heats up as you hear Tsukishima whisper those words to you. As he walks by, you turn around and stare in shock.

"A-Are you being serious?" you say loud enough for just him to hear.

Tsukishima stops walking and turns around to you.

"Why would I lie about that, Y/N?"

Without a second thought you run up to Tsukishima and hug him. For a brief moment, he hugs you back before suddenly pulling his arms down.

"OOO," you hear Tanaka sing from behind you, "what are you two doing out here?"

You turn around to face Tanaka, not realizing that you're still blushing.

"Y/N was cold and made me hug her," Tsukishima groans.

Immediately you laugh at Tsukishima's bold lie and walk inside, leaving both of the boys speechless. Once you get inside you make your way over to Kiyoko.

"Hey, Y/N," she says happily "how'd it go with Tsukishima?"

You smile at her, not wanting to give away too much too quickly.

"Are you two dating now?" she giggles.

"What?" you say defensively, "No! I only admitted that I like him and he-"

"Hold that thought," she says as she moves her gaze to someone behind you, "you got company."

You turn around and see Shoyo and Tobio running up to you.

"Hi, Y/N!" Shoyo beams.

"Hey guys," you say happily.

"Uh thanks for agreeing to tutor us again today," Tobio says as he bows.

"You'll both never learn, huh?" you giggle "I told you that you don't need to thank me because it's not a big deal."

As you laugh, you see a faint blush appear on the boys' faces. 

"Okay," they respond a bit nervously.

You watch as they walk away and hear Shoyo mutter something under his breath. 

"Boke!" Tobio yells at Shoyo while he smacks the back of his friend's head.

"Ow, Kageyama! It wasn't even my fault!"

When you turn back around for Kiyoko, you see her walking away.

Guess she's busy... Am I supposed to be doing something right now?

You look around and see the team warming up. Your brother hasn't arrived and Kiyoko is breaking down some empty boxes. As you're scanning the room you see Tadashi waving you over.

"Hey Tadashi, what's up?" you ask when you reach him.

He pulls you aside from the rest of the team, his blush returning.

"I-I just really wanted to say sorry, Y/N," he mutters "you know, for my behavior all day."

"O-Oh Tadashi don't worry about it, it's okay!" you say as you put your hand on his shoulder, "I'm sorry I put you in an awkward situation."

Tadashi nods nervously.

"Oh and by the way I want to talk to you about something later if that's okay."

"Sure," you smile.

You let him go and watch as he goes back to warming up with the rest of the boys.

After practice, you grab your backpack to leave for the day. As you stand up, you see Tsukishima standing over you.

"Oh hey," you say a bit confused "why are you standing over me like that without saying anything."

"Well I was going to," he yells.

"But?" you tease.

"But you turned around too quickly and didn't give me enough time to talk, like usual!"

"What?! You're the one who's always interrupting me," you snap.

"Says the girl who laughs when I try to get her out of awkward situations," he groans.

"Your excuses are horrible, Tsukki," you laugh.

"What did you just call me?" he growls.

You freeze at his sudden harsh tone. You watch as he takes a step even closer to you.

"U-Um I'm sorry," you stutter.

"Tch, that's what I thought," he says as he backs up.

"What was it that you were going to ask me?" you question shyly.

"Uh-"

You watch as Tsukishima's face turns light pink.

He's actually blushing?! That's so cute...

"Well," you push, "spit it out already."

"Can I walk you home?" he says calmly.

Confused by the change in his tone, you aren't quite sure what to say for a moment.

"Sure," you try to smile "but Tadashi, Shoyo, and Tobio are coming to my house after school so it'll be the five of us."

"They don't need to walk you home since I will," he says plainly.

"Oh well you see, uh, I told them I'd help them study today," you nervously reply.

"I knew it," he says as he rolls his eyes, "come on let's get the other stupid kids."

You allow Tsukki to pull you towards the other first years.

"Hi guys," you say nervously from behind Tsukishima, "Tsukki's going to walk home with us today if that's fine."

"Wha- really?" Shoyo asks as he clings on to Tobio.

"Oh cool!" replies Tadashi.

"Get off of me, dumbass," Tobio says as he tries to shake Shoyo off of his arm.

Once the five of you start to head out, you hear soft murmuring from behind you. 

"Aww," you turn to see Asashi say "it's so cute that our first years are walking home together."

"Yeah, the little ones are always so cute," Noya chimes in.

"Asahi shut up, Date tech is much better than you," you say before sticking your tongue out at him.

Asahi immediately shuts up and Shoyo pushes you out the door before you can cause any more problems. On your way to your house, you walk with Tsukishima as the other boys are ahead of you.

"So," you say as you look over towards Tsukishima "how was your day."

Tsukki sighs. "Why do you always ask such dumb questions."

"How is that a dumb question?"

"Because," he says while sounding extremely bored by your existence "you were with me all day so you know exactly how it went."

You watch as he turns to you and gives you the smallest smile, causing your face to heat up. Unable to look away, you continue staring into his golden eyes.

"Fine," he sighs as he looks at the boys in front of him, "today actually was a good day since you finally admitted your feelings."

Embarrassed, you don't give back any response. Suddenly you feel his hand reach yours and hold on to it gently. 

"Shut up Boke!" you hear Tobio complain to Shoyo "you're so dumb."

"Fine!" Shoyo replies "prove it then and race me!"

"Fine!" Tobio yells back "I'm faster so I'll beat you to prove it!"

"Y/N," Shoyo says as he turns around "who do you think is-"

Shoyo stops walking and stares down at your hand. Wondering what's wrong, Tadashi and Tobio both turn around as well. 

Tsukishima pulls you to continue walking. As you and Tsukishima walk past the others, he doesn't bother to give them a second glance.

"If you stop walking you're never going to get to Y/N's house," he lectures.

"Ready?" you hear Shoyo say from behind you.

You feel a quick breeze as Shoyo rushes past you with Tobio beside him. Feeling left out, Tadashi runs up to walk next to you. You smile as he catches up.

"Don't feel like racing?" you tease.

Tadashi shakes his head.

Once you get to your house, Shoyo and Tobio are nowhere in sight.

"Look," Tadashi points to down the road "they're still running."

"Didn't they notice my house as they ran by?"

"Guess not," Tadashi shrugs, "I'll go get them."

You laugh to yourself as Yamaguchi runs after the other boys.

"Y/N," you hear Tsukishima call.

You turn your head around to see him give you a serious look.

"Text me when you're done with those losers."

"Of course," you say as you smile at him.

Tsukishima puts a hand around your waist and slightly pulls you towards him. You close your eyes as he leans in to kiss you. You kiss him back gently before he pulls away.

"Bye," you whisper.

"See ya," he says before walking away.

"I'm bored," Shoyo groans.

"Me too," Tobio agrees, "I'm not going to understand any more information."

"That's because you aren't as smart as me," Shoyo teases.

"Shut it," Tobio snaps "you're the one who complained first!"

"Guys it's okay," you say to break them up "we can stop for the night. You all worked really hard and deserve the break."

"Thanks," Tadashi grins.

You stand up and smile at your students.

"You all know what you need to work on, right?" 

"Yep!" Shoyo agrees as he hops up.

Once the boys pack up, Tadashi taps your shoulder.

"Yeah?" 

"Uh, I was wondering if I could stay for a bit... But only if that's not inconveniencing you!" he says defensively.

"Sure," you giggle "you did say you wanted to talk to me about something anyway."

He nods in response. You turn to the other boys and hug them goodbye. As they walk out the door you see them stretch as if they're about to race again.

So much energy...

You shut the door once the others have left and turn back to Tadashi. You give him a huge smile before dragging him across your house.
