Ushijima has autism in this one and he isn't really treated kindly for it. Just a warning.
Tendou took a deep breath, staring at himself in the mirror. Then down to his wrapped fingers. He breathed out slowly. "Okay... no big deal. It was a tease. No big deal Satori."
"Satori! Out of the bathroom! Now!"
The red head quickly got out and grabbed his bag. "Sorry! I'm going now!"
He hurried out of the house and down the sidewalk to a house two streets away. He knocked on the door and waited. Ushijima opened the door and walked out on the porch, closing the door again.
"Hey Wa-kun!"
"Good morning Tendou." Ushijima stared at him. "Your eyes are red. Do you need eye drops before we leave?"
"My eyes are naturally red though! No need to worry about me!"
"No, your sclera is irritated."
"I have no idea what that means but cool."
Ushijima sighed. "The white part of your eyes is called the sclera."
"Ooh. That sucks, doesn't it?" Tendou smiled and turned. "Come on! We have to go to hell!"
Ushijima followed him. "You know you don't have to call places that you don't like hell, right?"
"Yep."
Ushijima reached for Tendou's hand, going to hold it like he did every morning on the way to school. Tendou pulled his hand away though. Ushijima frowned. "I am trying to hold your hand."
Tendou glanced away before taking his hand out of his pocket. "Alright."
Ushijima took it gently and rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb as Tendou had taught him to do. Affection and words were difficult for Ushijima but hand holding was the one thing that he could do without being unsure about him.
Tendou looked at Ushijima and smiled. "Sorry about that."
"It's okay." Ushijima gave him a small smile.
Tendou looked forward and stayed quiet. As they got closer to the school he tried to pull his hand away again. Ushijima started to get upset, not understanding what he'd done wrong for Tendou not to hold his hand now.
"Please stop."
Tendou pulled again.
"Satori stop pulling away I didn't do anything wrong." Ushijima urged.
Tendou frowned. "Let go. If I pull away it means to let go. You know that."
Ushijima let go. "But I don't understand...?"
"I don't feel like holding hands right now, okay?" Tendou walked off.
Ushijima stood there for a moment, trying to figure out what happened. He hadn't made Tendou mad, right? He never really made Tendou mad but was he mad?
Ushijima didn't understand other people's emotions very well so hearing Tendou even get slightly upset made him confused. It made him feel a little itchy and upset too. Ushijima walked up to the club room and changed before going into the gym.
"Good morning Ushijima-san!" Goshiki called out.
"Good morning."
Semi looked up. "Hey. Do you mind taking the net out of the storage room?"
