the date

a/n if u like mha please check out my new todoroki fic :) thanks for 3k and 4k reads my loves.

H/s = hairstyle you typically wear your hair in.

You groaned, gritting your teeth and attacking your head with the comb, this time with more arm strength than before. "Fucking cooperate with me," you grumbled as you violently raked through your unruly h/c locks, desperately trying to get your hair to just do what you wanted it to. But of course, that would not happen because the universe did not want you to just have a nice day with your crush devoid of any problems.

After some yelling, frustration, and a whole lot of hair product, you finally managed to get it to look at least halfway decent, deciding to go with Old Faithful and do a h/s. You looked at yourself in the mirror, appreciating how you had managed to look nice enough for a (study) date with your crush but not too nice that he would suspect that there was a reason why you had dressed up this much. After giving yourself a once-over to make sure that your hair looked good and you hadn't worn your T-shirt backwards and not let your jean pockets turn inside out, you took out your phone and attempted to take a picture of yourself in the mirror, despite it having not the best camera on Earth. You sent the photo to Tadashi, with an added message: "How do I look?"

You could always count on your best friend to respond to you at his earliest convenience. And luckily for you, he had given up the only plans he had for the day for your sake, so he replied right away.

Tadashi

You look great, f/n!!

Tsukki's gonna be so in loveeeeeee!(≧◡≦) ♡

You snorted. Tadashi loved his emojis.

You

I highly doubt he will be but thanks Tadashi(￢_￢) 

Tadashi

Hush! He will! 

I'm going to text him now and tell him I can't make it

HAVE FUN!! GOOD LUCK!

(づ￣ ³￣)づ

Virtual good luck hug!

You

You're too cute Tadashi

Thanks for the good luck, I'm gonna need it(⌒_⌒;)

And so, with Tadashi's well-wishes, you finally set off to meet the object of your affections. You could only hope that he wouldn't abandon your date upon learning that Tadashi wasn't going to be there, but you knew that he probably would. Tsukishima did everything reluctantly, and barely did anything against his own will. As you made your way to the nearby coffee shop, you listened to the pitter-patter of your own footsteps and tried not to worry too much about the outcome. This was completely fine. No cause for concern whatsoever. 

The coffee shop was a new one that you had never been to, but you had seen a few online reviews saying that their strawberry shortcake was to die for. You hoped to try some, and thought that that may be a reason to get Tsukishima to stay, since you'd heard him offhandedly mention that his favorite food was strawberry shortcake before. You had to admit, it was a pretty cute choice of favorite food for a guy with such a nasty, unpleasant attitude.

When you finally arrived at the café, Tsukishima was already there waiting for you. "Oh, you're here," he said in a bored tone, "I was beginning to wonder when you'd show up. Yamaguchi's not coming, by the way." What? He decided to stay, even though he knew Tadashi wouldn't be there. This was certainly unexpected.
