Plot: Melody is a student in Shiratorizawa and caught the attention of Ushijima.

"Hey pres!" A fellow classmate runs up to you. "Could you tell the teacher that I'll be passing the assignment late?"

"Why?" I look at her while my hands were busy doing paper work for the student council, as the secretary of the student council should. "Sir gave it to us a week ago."

"I couldn't understand a thing he discussed!" She pleaded with me. "Pleaseee?"

"Alright I'll tell him but no promises." I reluctantly agree.

She then thanks me profusely and goes on her merry way. I let out a sigh for another thing will be added to my list of things to do. Not only was I doing secretary work for the student council, but I was managing the mens volleyball club as well. Picking up 2 boxes of paper stacked on one another I head on to the teachers office.

I mean I got myself into this mess but I enjoyed every bit of it. It was a great learning experience since next year I would be a 3rd year.

"Hey Melody!" You hear a voice call out. I could barely see a bunch of spiky red hair peek out from my point of view. "Do yah need help?"

"Tendou?" I ask just in case.

"Yep that's me!" Then someone takes a box off of the stack.

"Oh! You were here too Ushijima." He merely nods as he takes the box. "Thank you." Tendou takes the other.

"We were on our way to the gym when Wakatoshi here saw you struggling." Tendou teased as we walked side by side.

"I just wanted to help." He states plainly but a light pink colors stains his cheeks.

"Well thank you to you both." I chuckle. "I'll be able to arrive on time to the club and help you all."

We arrive at the teachers office and they set down the boxes of papers. I told them to go ahead because I needed to speak to a teacher. They said their temporary farewells and left the room.

The teacher was now reprimanding me because a student asked for a move in the deadline. I calmed my mind and spoke calmly to him as he continued to raise his voice at me. The other teachers were silently sending glances our way. This teacher was known to lash out at students for the pettiest of reasons. No one could really hold him back. I just wanted to disappear right then and there.

It got to the point that he was so mad that he threw a book at me, my head was directed as the floor so when I looked up the sharp spine of the book hit my forhead. I felt warm liquid drip to the middle of my eyebrows. Finally, he sent me away due to that accident but without first mumbling that it was my fault. Like what?

As soon as I closed the door to the teachers room I saw Tendou sitting on the floor and Wakatoshi leaning on the wall across the door with my bag on his hand. Both were already in their jerseys.

"Yo Mel-" Tendou suddenly jumped up. "You're bleeding!"

"Yeah. I don't have a hankie with me." I sigh tired of everything that just occurred. "Thanks for bringing my bag but I gotta go to the nurse." If she's still even there I sigh again.

"Here." Wakatoshi fishes out his neatly folded hankie and places it on my bleeding forehead. "I'll go with you. The nurse might have headed home. Also don't worry its clean."

"Oh?" Tendou smirked. "I'll go tell coach you'll be late! Go on ahead." He walks away giggling.

"What was that about?" I press the hankie on my forehead, but grunt in pain. "Ughhh."

"Let's go." Still holding my bag, he grabs my wrist and pulls me along.

We were kinda close since we entered Shiratorizawa at the same time. We were even seatmates during our 1st year. That was kinda how we started to become friends and became even closer as we entered the volleyball club.

He opens the clinic doors without a nurse in sight.

"Sit on the bed." I follow his word and just sat on the bed.

While he was searching the cabinets my mind began to stress itself out. I recalled the shouting the teacher did, the school work, the secretary work, and just pressure all around. I began to tear up and before I could hide it a large cloth sat on my head. It was his jersey jacket.

"You can cry if you want." He places the first aid kit down and looks away. With his back facing towards me.

"I'm sorry...." I tried to stop the tears. "I didn't mean to-"

He suddenly sits down and faced me with his eyes full of concern.

"It's okay to cry when you're stressed." He places both his hands on my cheeks as he wipes my tears away. "It shows you how strong you are holding all of those emotions in."

"Wakatoshi..." I couldn't help but feel a little bit warmer in my chest area.

"Let's clean that wound." He lets go of my cheeks and awkwardly pats my head.

We spent a comfortable silence together as he does whatever needs to be done on my forehead. He was gentle the entire time unusual from the brute strength seen during his games.

"Won't we be super late?" I ask.

"I'm sure Tendou told coach." He finishes up and packs the stuff back in the box.

I look at the mirror to see a sobbing mess though I stopped crying a few minutes ago. His jacket was so large on me that it almost reaches my knees.

He was placing the box from where he got it when I called out his name. Before he could turn around, I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged his back.

"Thank you for today." I mumble hiding my face on his broad and muscular back.

He didn't answer right away (he was processing what was happening).

"I-uh." He stutters. "It's fine..."

I could feel him take a few deep breaths. He gently breaks apart my hands and faces me while holding both my hands. I could barely keep a straight face as I was too flustered to even think. A small smile appears on his pink face as he full-on hugs me.

"I don't want to see you cry or be sad."

I wrap my arms around his back making him only hug me tighter.

"Sorry to worry you. I was overwhelmed." I mumble as I bury my face on his neck. A few seconds passed but my thoughts ran miles. "I think I like you." I unintentionally spat out.

He stiffens and pulls away. His face now red and his eyes wide in surprise.

"I like you too." He composes himself and breaks eye contact. "For quite some time."

- Time skip -

Both of them enter the gym with very visible red faces. His jersey jacket still on Melody and a violet-colored scrunchie on Ushijima's wrist. Tendou notices right away and howls.

"FINALLY!" The whole team collectively roars along.

The whole team knew about the two of them but very securely kept it under wraps or else Ushijima might get mad.

"Kids these days." The coach sighs with a smile. "EVERYONE BACK TO PRACTICE!"

"YES!!!" The two new couple shouts as well.
