Floating Away With You

Chapter 34- Prom (I)

(Y/N's POV)~

~SMALL TIMESKIP~

Prom. Today is my long awaited prom day. Satori's coming to pick me up. We decided to match. His tie would be red and my dress would be red.

My phone rings.

"(Y/NNNNNNNNN)!!!!!!!!!" Ali screeches on the other end of the line. I swear I'm gonna go deaf because of her.

"Yes?" I answer, shook.

"I need help with my outfit and makeup." She says, a little bit a shame behind it. This is the first time she comes to ME for fashion help. Usually it's the other way around.

"ILL BE THERE IN 5!" I yell and hang up.

I get to her house and flings her door open, yanking me inside.

Her room was a MESS. Dresses and hair clips and shoes EVERYWHERE.

"Ali, you need to clean your room first." I sigh, putting my hands on my hips. She nods slowly with a defeated look on her face.

After 20 minutes the room was spotless again.

"Ok! (*Claps*), are you and Tomoyo planning on doing something? Like matching or whatever?" I go through her closet.

"Hmmmm i don't know, he just told me to dress hot." She shrugs. I chuckle to myself.
Of course he would say that.

I reach into her closet to pull out a long blue dress, tight at the top and flowing at the bottom, white and yellow flowers around it.

"Does this work?" I ask.

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmm..." she takes a moment to think.
"What if I cut it?" She asks with a mischievous smile.

"WHA- CUT IT?!?!!!!!????" I exclaim.

"Yeah... So it's shorter." She shrugs, walking over to her desk to get her scissors.

"ARE YOU KIDDING!? What if you don't cut it straight? What if the string unravels, leaving you naked!?!" I panic.

"Calm. Down. I've done this before!" Ali says, laying the dress down on the bed and started snipping the skirt part.

"I can't stand this." I throw my hands in the air, leaving the room.

Ali stayed there cutting her dress with a smile and her tongue sticking out in concentration.

(Tendou's POV)~

Ushijima comes walking into my house unannounced.

"Uh, hey Ushiiiiiii!" I smile.

"Hey. Semi told me to check up on you." He answers with a blank expression.
"What? Why?"
"Cuz prom. Show me your outfit." He says.
I didn't expect something like that to ever come out of Ushijima's mouth.

I get up off of the couch and lead him to my bedroom where my suit's sprawled out on the bed along with a tie, pants, and matching gloves.

"Looks good. K bye." Ushijima waves and walks out the bedroom door.

"WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH, wait a second!" I call out, tugging on his shirt.

"Hm?" He turns around with a tired look.

"Who's your date?" I wiggle my eyebrows slightly, leaning in close to him.
He pushes my face away and scoffs.

"...*cough* *cough* Yachi *clears throat*..." Ushijima says while scratching his ear.

"WHA- YACHI!?!?! THE SAME YACHI IM THINKING ABOUT?!?!1!" I yell in disbelief, this caught me very off guard.

"Yeah..." he sighs, hiding his face.

"Wait, how tall is she?" I ask after an awkward minute of silence.

He stays quiet for a second.

"...4 foot 10..." He gives me an embarrassed look.

"EXCUSE ME SIR HOW TALL ARE YOU!?!?!" I ask.

"6 foot 2." He answers sternly.

"THATS LIKE A TWO FOOT DIFFERENCE!!!!!" I laugh, jumping up and down.

"SO!?" Ushijima raises his voice.

I stop jumping and stare at him.

"Do you like her?" I poke his cheek. He swats me away.

"I don't know." He shrugs.

"Then why'd you ask her to prom?" I sit down on my bed.

"...She asked me to prom and I was too scared to turn her down because she's so small." Ushijima answers nonchalantly.

My mouth hangs open with awe.

"She- You- Wait till Semi hears this." I laugh pulling out my phone. Ushijima whips around and lunges at me, pinning me down to my bed and yanks the phone out of my hands.

"Jeez save the moves for Yachi will ya?" I laugh, brushing myself off.

He gives me a deadpan expression and throws the phone back at me.

"So you do like her?" I ask.

"I don't!" He yells.

"You don't?" I nod. "So you like Semi?" I grin. This was intended to be a joke.

"Well... Yes." He answers.

GUESS THAT WASNT A JOKE TO HIM!

"Ohhhhh that makes soooo much sense!" I laugh.

"Yeah yeah shut up. I'm not looking forward to this prom." He sighs.

"Aw Ushi you'll be fine! Me and (y/n)'ll take care of it." I smile. He smiles at me and that makes me happy.

"Oh wait, one question, when we were at the beach didn't you say that Yachi and Kyoko were "good"?" I ask.

"Good at volleyball... That's not what you guys were talking about?" He asks confused.

"PFFT- Nope." I laugh my head off. He still doesn't seem to clue in... until now.

"OH MY!" He gasps, putting a hand over his mouth.

"Yup." I smile at him.

This is the first time me and Ushi have had a real conversation bro-to-bro since... quite a while. I can't even remember the last time.

"Well I better get going." Ushijima smiles at me while waving.

"Yup, see you tonight!" I wave back and fall backwards onto my bed, clenching a ring in my hand that I had hidden under my pillow.

Prom is going to be fun. Memorable. Amazing.

We'll all remember it for years to come.
