fifteen.

Yamaguchi gave a long look to Takahashi and Tsukishima's hands as they walked into class. He felt a smile tug onto his face before he placed his elbows on the table and watched as the two reluctantly let go of each other's hands to take their seats before class started.

He leaned toward Tsukishima with a smirk before saying, "So when did you confess?" He asked.

"Shut up, Tadachi," Tsukishima grumbled.

Takahashi turned in her seat, a blush still evident on her face, "He never confessed. I did," she said with a small laugh.

Yamaguchi smirked, "Oh? Really? And what did you reply?" He gave Tsukishima a sly look as his friend looked away, a blush forming on his face.

"Okay," Takahashi answered for Tsukishima.

Yamaguchi gave her a confused face, "What?"

"He just replied with okay," Takahashi smiled at Tsukishima, "A man of many words as you can tell," Yamaguchi started laughing and Takahashi joined in while Tsukishima gave them both a sour expression.

"Shut up, will you," he growled, "It caught me off guard, I'll come up with a better response later," he leaned on his desk and rest his head on his hand while looking out the window, determined to not let Yamaguchi or Takahashi see how red his face was.

Takahashi shifted so that her face was in Tsukishima's view, "Oh? Does that mean you'll confess to me?"

Tsukishima leaned back from her, blushing, "Hey," he mumbled.

Her face is too close. Does she even realize what she's doing? Doesn't want others to know my ass. She's so obvious. He glanced at Takahashi again and found her smirking. Damn. How can she be so shy one moment and then like this the next?

"Something wrong?" Takahashi asked.

"Yeah," Tsukishima rolled his eyes, "I don't get how you can be so flustered over holding hands but then be so confident the next moment?"

Takahashi blushed, "That's not it." she mumbled. Takahashi gave Tsukishima a long look before turning forward, "Forget about it, Tsukki," she shrugged, "It's not that big of a deal,"

"Mhm," Tsukishima said but made no further comment and something about that made the response that much more annoying. His lack of comment set Takahashi on edge and she had to reluctantly force herself to turn around to face the front of the class.

"So when are you going to confess?" Yamaguchi asked as the three were getting ready to head home for the day. Tsukishima gave him a confused look as they waited for Takahashi to grab her things from her locker in the back. Yamaguchi smiled and pointed at Takahashi.

"When are you going to confess to her?" Yamaguchi smirked.

"After my birthday," Tsukishima said.

"You're going to carry it out that long?" Yamaguchi sighed and shook his head, "She already confessed to you Tsukishima, she knows that you like her, just get the formalities over with and tell her you like her," Yamaguchi groaned.

Tsukishima pressed his lips together, "I just want some time to think about the right thing to say," he glanced at Takahashi, who had gotten caught up with one of the girls in the class talking to her. He watched as Takahashi's flustered smile matched her blush and her eyes flickered to Tsukishima.

Takahashi's face went red and she ducked her head, laughing nervously as she spoke to the girl. The girl smiled at Takahashi and glanced at Tsukishima before whispering something to Takahashi. Takahashi's hands flew to her face covering them as she turned and stuck her head into her locker to hide her face.
