A Haikyuu Story // Y/N's POV // (read disclaimer)

Chapter 7

Days had passed. Tsukishima hasn't been focused lately, and it started to show. He grew distant from the team, and I started to feel bad for him. Eventually, I convinced myself to walk up to him so we could talk. He was sitting under a tree with his headphones on, resting his head on his knees and staring into the distance. His face was expressionless. I sat next to him and lightly nudged him on the shoulder. He gave me an angry glance and looked away. I tapped his headphones and he looked at me annoyed.

"What do you want?"

He was clearly in a bad mood.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

He paused his music and took off his headphones and looked away again. I felt guilty for some reason, and it was hard to find my words.

"I.."

I sighed

"I forgive you."

He lifted his head and looked in my direction.

"I'm sorry that I acted the way I did. Can you forgive me?"

He nodded his head and we sat in silence. He looked out into the distance, resting his chin on his knees.

"Do you like me, Y/N?"

There was a small pause before I spoke.

"I like you as a friend, Tsukki."

He looked away again and I put my hand on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I just don't feel that way about you at the moment. But I do know for sure that I will never like you less than I do now-"

"It's ok, Y/N."

He got up and started to walk away.

"I'll get over it."

I watched him as he walked away and sat in silence. I felt bad for him, but I knew it was my fault.

Is he really going to get over it?

I sighed and rested my chin on my knees.

I don't know.

I sat under the tree until it got cold outside and went to my dorm.

~~

Later that night I got a knock on the door. I was already in my pajamas and didn't feel like getting up to open the door. There was already too much on my mind and I didn't want to add to the mix. The door knocked again and I went to answer the door so the knocking could stop. I opened the door halfway and saw Kuroo.

"Oh hell no."

I tried to close the door quickly, but Kuroo held the door open with one arm.

"Wait."

I tried to push the door closed, but he was too strong, as always.

"Y/N, we need to talk."

He easily pushed the door open and let himself in. I took a step back and tried to keep some distance between us. He chuckled.

"Hold up, you're not afraid of me, are you?"

He stepped closer to me until I ran out of the room between me and the wall. He put his hand on the wall and looked down at me.

What the fuck?! Is he doing that freaking 'romantic wall lean' with me again?

I looked at the ground and reminded him why he was here. I couldn't help but blush a little while I stumbled on my words.

"D-Didn't you s-say you wanted t-to talk?"

He took a step back, allowing me to relax a bit.

"Right, sorry."

He scratched the back of his head.

"I know that me and Kenma aren't in... the best terms right now and I heard that you guys are dating."

I crossed my arms.

"So I'm guessing you need me to do something involving Kenma."

He looked up at the ceiling and held the back of his neck.

"Well... yeah. I just wanted you to tell him I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I... I just like to tease, and well... I can get carried away sometimes."

I gave him a doubtful look.

"Hey. Weren't you the one who wanted to pick a fight with me?"

He lifted my chin with his finger but I smacked it away.

"So you want me to tell him you're sorry for being a sadist?"

He tensed up a bit.

"What? No! I'm not a sadist. Just... tell him I didn't mean to hurt you and I got carried away. I would tell him myself, but he's been kind of avoiding me lately."

I rolled my eyes.

"Fine, I'll tell him. Now get out of my room. I'm tired."

"Alright."

He backed away to the door then turned in my direction.

"Hey."

"What?"

"I'm sorry, again."

"It's fine. Just get out already."

He let himself out and closed the door behind him. I sighed and layed in bed, eventually falling asleep.
