part 2

O•° 3rd POV °•O

Ushijima was walking home after school, he was so overwhelmed with school work, that he forgot bout afternoon practice and Tendou. He was just about halfway through the gates when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Ushi~!" It was Tendou's voice. Ushijima stopped by the gate as Tendou came running up to him. "Where are you goingggg~" he slurred.

"Home?" Ushijima was confused but then realised why Tendou asked. "Oh-"

"WOW! Did you forget about practice AND me!?" Tendou luaghed. He looked as if he was having a joke but deep down, he was well and truely worried for Ushijima, he was never like this- how could he forget about practice,  It's volleyball!

"I'm sorry- we should head to the gym-"

Ushijima was cut off by Tendou when he said "nah- why don't you have a day off and we could go back to my house? You look exhausted!"
Ushijima was surprised by this, he knew Tendou was kind and all, but...for some reason, he didn't believe that Tendou wanted to hang out with him... Why? He had no idea, this was his best friend.

"Are you sure, don't you want to practice?"

"Don't you? Your usually the one who is 'Enthusiastic' about volleyball, I said you were coming to mine after anyway, so does it really matter?"

"Eh- I guess not..." Ushijima said, a bit uncomfortable with the situation. He'd been to Tendou's house before so he didn't get this feeling, was is that Tendou wanted answers or because of his sudden crush on him? He didn't like emotions and this was really getting to him.

Tendou noticed Ushijima's shifting, indicating that he was feeling a bit awkward about this. "Alrighty~ shall we get going?" Tendou asked, slurring his words again. Ushijima just nodded and both boys started walking to Tendou's house.

=======================================

When Tendou and Ushijima arrived at Tendou's house, they went straight up to The red head's bedroom. Tendou had offered Ushijima a drink or snack, but he had refused and said that it would only spoil his tea.

Once the boys were sat comfy on Tendou's bed, He started right away. "So, would you like to tell me what's going on in that head of yours?" Asked Tendou.

"Not really-"

Sigh "Ushi please, lay it out, it's just you and me!" Tendou was trying so hard to understand what the olive haired male was feeling, but failed, "I just want to know that you're okay and everythings fine."

"It is though- I'm fine, Tendou"

The words, 'I'm fine' hit Tendou. He could tell his friend was not okay, he wasn't 'fine', "Well you're obviously not, Ushi. Otherwise you wouldn't have turned up late to morning practice, you'd have brushed your hair and slept, and you would have definitely not messed up nor miss practice."

"Well if it's so god damn obvious, why do you have to ask!?" Ushijima snapped, silence filled the room. Ushijima rarely, if not, never snapped or acted up like this-

"Ushi..." Tendou was scared. Not scared of him, but scared for him, "all I want is for you to acknowledge on your own that your not fine, I want you to let me help you, you just have to tell me what's wrong though."

"I- I'm sorry..." Ushi had started to slightly shake, he was on the verge of a breakdown, tears threatening to fall from his eyes, but he wouldn't let them slip... He had to stay strong, he didn't want to be a burden anymore.

"Hey, hey, it's fine!" Tendou reassured, "we all have our moments, and I get that your stressed and upset, so I don't blame you-"

"..." Ushijima had nothing to say "I- I can't..." He looked down at the ground, avoinding Tendou's sad gaze.

"Why not, Ushi, Why not..?" Tendou was staring at Ushijima, trying to guess what was wrong. "Do- do you not trust me...?" He said, his voice cracking.

Ushijima's head snapped back up, "of course I trust you! I- I just don't want to be a burden"

Tendou was shocked. 'Ushijima...? A burden? How could he-?" Tendou thought, but they were soon cut accross when Ushijima stood up.

"I should go, Tendou."

"Wait what- why?" Tendou didn't want Ushijima to go, but he knew that the tension was to high and that Ushijima was very uncomfortable.

"I just need to go..." Ushijima said quietly, he picked up his bag and walked out the front door leaving Tendou sat in his bedroom, alone.

'I will help you Ushi! Just like how you helped me! I promise... I promise that you'll get through this..."
