My Voice - Tsukishima Kei

18- T-Tadashi!

I stare at Tadashi as he tries his best to avoid eye contact with me.

The two of us are in the dining room eating the lunch I've made. Kei got called into work today, sadly, so he's not with us. This is the first time Tadashi and I have been in the same room alone since what happened, and he's so awkward.

"Tadashi." I lean back in my seat. "You were balls deep insi-"

"SHHHH!" He immediately covers his ears and shuts his eyes. "Don't even say nasty things like that. It's awkward enough already!"

"You're the one making it awkward! You know I'm human, right? Geez. Or does Tadashi think I'm an object now? How cru-"

"You're the worst." He cuts me off again, groaning.

"Talk to me!" I whine. "I'm so bored."

I look at him and sigh when I see his face is red and he's just focusing on his food.

I sit back up and begin to silently eat as well.

"So..." He starts a few minutes later and I grumpily shove some rice into my mouth. "D-Do you feel all better now?"

"All better?" I tilt my head. "What do you mean?"

The blush on Tadashi's cheeks stays but he finally makes eye contact with me.

"You weren't walking well..." He mumbles and my eyes widen.

"And who's fault was that?" I stick my nose in the air. "I'm fine. It's been two weeks."

"So the marks are gone as well?"

"Yes."

"That's good..."

And back to silence.

We finish our meal and I put some aside for Kei in the fridge. Tadashi offers to wash the dishes and I don't oppose.

"Um...since Tsukki isn't here, wanna have some fun?" He asks once he finishes.

I perk up, nodding instantly.

"Yeah!"

It's 6pm on a Saturday. Tadashi and I are home alone, in his room. The sound of my heavy breathing and clicks bounce off of the walls.

"T-Tadashi!" I cry.

"Hold on Eva, I'm almost there."

"Come quick please." I practically sob.

"Just hold out a little longer okay?" He murmurs and I sniffle.

He glances at me for a split second before doing a double take.

"Are you crying?" He asks.

My shoulders slightly shake as I stare up at his tv and attempt to fight the scary zombies off of me.

"HURRY UP!" I whine, my eyes glossy.

Tadashi wanted to play video games and since I like games too I had immediately agreed. But he threw on Black Ops and picked the zombie campaign and I'm literally hyperventilating because this is not what I signed up for.

Those bitches are SCARY. And they be running too.

"AHHH!! I'M TRAPPED! I'M TRAPPED! TADASHI HURRY AND COME THEY'RE GOING TO KILL ME!" I panic, trying to shoot all the zombies around me but I run out of bullets.

I cover my eyes when I get knocked down, and a few seconds later Tadashi's laughter fills the room. It's a hearty laugh, one that makes him clutch his stomach and lean forward.
