It's A Secret Not A Lie (Tsukishima Kei X Reader)

Chapter Twenty-six

~Third Person P.O.V~

(L/n) sat on the ground crying silently in her sleep not knowing what was going on around her. "Hey Kid.. Yohoo" the brown haired setter called after hearing small sniffles while heading to the bathroom. "Hello" he said again approaching the (H/c) haired boy shaking him lightly until he woke up.

~(Y/n) P.O.V~

I felt myself being shaken expecting someone from my team to be there when I opened my eyes. My eyes fluttered opened to meet dark brown eyes that belong to no other than Oikawa Tooru. I pulled in a deep breath feeling like my lungs where closed "W-what?" I mumbled "You okay, you where crying and crying is not a good look it makes you ugly" he chirped with a smile, I groaned unsteadly breathing sitting my head back on my knees. "So why where you crying?" He asked taking a seat beside me "None of you business" I mumbled "Fine but allow me to introduce my... even though you probably already know who I am I'm Tooru Oikawa captain of Seijoh or better know as Aoba Johsai" he hummed "(L/n), assistant manager for Karasuno" I said opening my eyes to stare at the ground "Hm interesting... I didn't see you during the match is this the reason trying to catch up on beauty sleep cause it worked man you look good.... but of course I look better" he smiled "You really are a narcissist aren't ya?" I asked turning my head to him raising an eyebrow. "I suppose some would call me a narcissist but I'm just confident in myself" a smirk found it's way to his face as he spoke.

I heard running coming down the hallway "(F/g/n)!!!! Where are you?" I heard a voice yell as it got closer "Pipsqueak!!" A second voice called monotonely "I'm assuming there calling you... so you should go... Pipsqueak" Oikawa smirked standing up holding a hand out to me. I took his hand allowing him to hold some of my weight as I stood up. "Ugh, (L/n) your gonna make us late go-" Tsukishima said cutting himself off seeing me standing there with Oikawa. "Sorry am I interrupting?" Tsukki said slightly gritting his teeth "Nope not at all" the boy with the brown hair chuckled "But glasses... you should watch your 'Pipsqueak' before someone else scoops him up" Oikawa smirked turning on his heel walking away "Until next time (L/n), and remember crying makes you ugly, your to cute to have tears running down your face" after saying that he tossed a closed eyed smile my way vanishing around the corner.

Tsukishima looked at me with his eyes darkening slightly "Where have you been? I've been worried I didn't see you at all during the match... Yachi told me that Lilith pulled you outside to talk are you okay?" He asked lowering his voice his eyes meeting mine as they softened. I smiled hugging him "I'm okay, I'm just glad you're here" I mumbled into his chest taking in the fact that he was really there. I felt his arms rap around my torso pulling me closer to him in a comforting way, the warmth of the hug feeling like the sun shining onto your bare skin on a cold day warming you up making you feel safe.

"Tsukki! (N/n)! Where did y'all go!" Yamaguchi voice echoed drawing closer. Tsukki grumbled slightly pulling back a little "We're over here Yamaguchi" he yelled before turning his attention back to me "Are you sure your okay" he asked holding me by my shoulders "Yes I'm okay I promise, how did the game go?" I asked changing the subject "Good good but we still lost" he said nonchalantly.

I looked at him frowning "What..." the word left my mouth as I looked down 'we worked so hard... how did we lose we where supposed to go to nationals' I thought to myself "Don't think to much about it... after all it is only a game" Tsukishima's voice flatly spoke pulling me from my thoughts. I put my head down ignoring his comment "There y'all are, are you okay (F/g/n)..." Yama's voice was soft and caring "Yea Tadashi I'm fine... Tsukki just told me that we lost I'm just a little upset" I said giving a sad smile "That makes... since..." Yama frowned tears appearing at the ends of his eyes "We should probably go" Kei spoke up pulling both Tadashi and I out of our thoughts.

The bus ride was silent everyone heart broken at there loss. I looked at my hands during the ride frowning 'where did we go wrong.... ugh if I was watching the game then I could see what we needed to improve on to help us win next time' I thought seeing a hand sliding into my own. I looked to my side seeing Kei holding my hand staring at nothing in particular with his headphones on.

At the restaurant everyone was quietly crying while they ate making my heart ache. I felt a few tears roll down my cheeks as I sat in between Nishinoya and Tsukishima. "Stop crying" I heard Kei whispere barley audible. After eating I sat next to Kei on the bus for the rest of the trip home "Kei..." I mumbled I seen him look at me signaling I got his attention "Is it okay if I lay on your arm I'm kinda tired and it's uncomfortable to sleep on the window" I looked at him with pleading eyes hearing him sigh "Yea it's fine come here" he said with a small fond smile rapping his arm around my shoulder "Sleep well (L/n)" he mumbled "You to" I spoke quietly with a yawn. I felt him quickly place a small kiss on my forehead before pulling back on the dark bus befor laying his head on my own 'I love you Kei, I'm sorry I let you and the team down today. If i told you guys more stuff to practice then maybe we could have won today' I thought letting my eyes flutter shut.
