Receiving Practice

Chapter 11

(748 words)

Neither Yamaguchi nor Tsukishima went to lunch, not that they were very hungry after eating breakfast so late. They both decided to sit in isolation and think instead.

'I should have just kissed him instead of running away like a coward. None of this would be happening if I wasn't so lame!' Yamaguchi thought with a sigh.

After the green haired boy had spent a little over an hour overthinking the situation, he still thought that he was in the wrong. Little did he know that his tall boyfriend was thinking the same thing.

'Maybe if I just had been patient or just asked him then he wouldn't have run away.' Tsukishima thought, 'You haven't even been dating for two days and you already caused conflict.'

The blonde just prayed that Yamaguchi would still want to date him, though he had his doubts.

*3:00*

Oikawa had decided to reach out to Kuroo to see if he had known anything about the situation, being Tsukishima's captain and all.

"Hey Tetsu-Chan!" Oikawa exclaimed when he happened to pass the teen when they were walking to the gym to get some extra practice in.

"Oh, how's it going 'kawa?" He asked and waited for the pretty boy to catch up with him.

"I'm doing ok, but sadly Yama-Chan and Tsukishima seem to be having some issues, do you know anything about it?"

Kuroo nodded his head in understandment.

"Yeah, Tsukki was getting pretty emotional earlier when he was venting to me, he was really beating himself up about it." The captain sighed.

"Wait, beating himself up?" Oikawa started, "so did he think it was his fault?" The brunette investigated.

Kuroo nodded his head firmly.

"Oh well, Yama thought that it was his fault! So they both blame themselves for it I guess." He said, slightly laughing at the two first years misunderstanding.

Kuroo's let out a small chuckle as well.

"Then this should be easy to sort out I hope." He said and smiled.

"I'm sure we can get them to talk during dinner, make sure to bring Tsukishima, even if you have to force him. And I'll bring Yamaguchi!" He exclaimed with a bright, shiny smile.

"Perfect!" Kuroo smirked.

*With Yamaguchi*

Yamaguchi, who was still alone in his spot, had decided that sitting for so long probably wasn't good for his legs so he stood up and started to go on a short walk. His legs were starting to hurt anyway.

He calmly took a stroll around the training camp, admiring the pretty trees that surrounded him. Just as the freckled boy was about to turn the corner, he spotted a familiar face about 20 feet away. It was none other than the last person he wanted to see, Tsukishima.

Yamaguchi instinctively pressed his back against the stone wall to avoid being seen. He was about to tip-toe away to cower back into his special spot that he has been sitting in for the past few hours, when he heard the blonde's voice from the distance.

"I screwed up so bad, I'm sorry Yama." The familiar voice was faint, yet Yamaguchi could just make out the words.

'What- wh- is Tsukki blaming himself?' Yamaguchi asked himself, confused.

The boy was contemplating whether to leave or not, but eventually decided to listen and try to find out more information. When nothing else happened, he stepped out from the wall and walked next to Tsukishima.

The blonde didn't know that Yamaguchi was there with his head in hands but could tell someone was there from the creek of the old, wooden bench.

"Go away Kuroo, I don't want to talk." he muffled into his hands.

Yamaguchi nervously cleared his throat and attempted to speak but his mouth just kept opening and closing, not knowing the right words to say.

"Uhm, a-actually, it's me." He twiddled his thumbs nervously together and Tsukishima shot his head up quickly.

"Yamaguchi?!" He exclaimed!  

A/N

Ignore the fact that this is so short, it seemed like a good ending point and no one really cares. I've kinda been making a big out of how long my chapters are but just cause there longer, doesn't make them better so :/ We also now have a lot of views and votes which I really appreciate that you stuck with this story for so long. I was planning for this to be like 10 chapters but now it's looking more like they'll be around 15 so stay tuned!
