Being the boy he was Ushijima had done his research on dates prior to Saturday so it would be the perfect day to improve Akari’s mood. He had asked Tendou for some help and advice only to be interrogated about the date the latter had no idea about despite being his best friend. When he explained to Tendou he was going with Akari to make her feel better Tendou wasn’t sure if he was disappointed that it wasn’t an actual date or if he was happy the younger was finally going on his first date before finishing high school. He was surely proud for Ushijima warming up to the loud and bubble girl who would spend her days adoring the large giant.
Ushijima dressed himself with a white shirt topping it with a blue sweater and black jeans. He made sure to take an extra jacket because he knew Akari would forget and get cold later on. Akari was far too busy twirling around in front of the mirror wondering if the outfit was good enough or not. “Yes, its fine. You’re going to be late.” Goshiki complained laying on her bed not even paying attention to what she was wearing as he scrolled around on Instagram. Before she could pick the faults in her outfit the doorbell rang indicating Ushijima was already here.
“You look very pretty.” He told the girl who blushed and stared at her feet. He then proceeded to hand her the flowers he had bought on the way just as Tendou had told him to. Akari thanked him placing them in a vase before leaving. Ushijima informed her that they would be eating at a local diner making sure that was okay with her. Ushijima was surprised that the girl hadn’t cracked any inappropriate jokes yet.
He expected to have a normal conversation like other couples but here they were discussing whether a straw had one or two holes. “I don’t care how handsome you are your wrong.” Akari huffed stabbing her chip with a fork and dipping it in ketchup. “Akari its one-hole look.” He sighed showing her his straw. Akari shook her head pointing to the two sides saying “Two.” Akari ended up laughing when she received weird stares from the waitress making Ushijima smile. “Omg you smiled.” Akari dramatically gasped cupping the boys face and pulling his cheeks up so his teeth became visible.
Just as planned the two had finished their late lunch and were walking to the park where the two could enjoy some ice cream. “When we get to the park push me on the swings okay.” She told Ushijima the plan in which she could get the swings before the other children. Ushijima nodded reluctantly not really wanting to scare children away with his height but remembered what Tendou had told him,
“Bastard Ushiwaka is that you. How did you get a girl before me?” Another voice huffed standing in front of the two with a face of disgust hands in his pockets. “Oikawa. To clarify she is not my girl she belongs to herself.” He explained to the brown-haired boy who looked back at Akira questioning her choice. “I’m courting him.” She smiled cheerfully wrapping her arm around Ushijima’s. The boy not being able to comprehend this started muttering out words like how and why glaring at Ushijima slightly.
“Why him?” he asked Akari who shrugged her shoulder leaning her head against Ushijima muscular arm happily. “Don’t worry if things wont work out I’ll court you next cutie.” She sent him a wink making the brown haired boy known as Oikawa slightly flustered. He nodded cockily before looking up at his archnemesis again with a scowl. “We will be going to Nationals this year, Ushiwaka.” He mocked the elders nickname by sticking his tongue out.
“You shall not. If you wanted to win you should have come to Shiratorizawa.” He informed rather calmly while Oikawa seemed to be turning red with anger. She looked up at Ushijima who looked down at her with an intense gaze making Akira let out a shy giggle. “ You tell him baby.” She punched his arm as a sign of support which the elder boy did not understand and decided to ask Tendou about it later.
Oikawa stomped away rather frustrated slightly looking like a angry bird and Akari looked at Ushijima who didn’t seem fazed. “I’m sorry about that. We shall continue our date now.” He informed her in a formal way making Akari laugh as he took her to the ice cream stand as planned.
