Outstanding (Semi Eita x reader)

Chapter 16: Confession

Tendou and Semi were still in the locker room for another fifteen minutes before Tendou broke the silence.

"What are you gonna do now SemiSemi?", he says as he places his chin on his hand while sitting at the bench. It was obvious that the setter was having a conflict with himself, not knowing what to do.

Semi lets out a deep sigh as he places his face in both his hands while sitting next to Tendou.
"I don't know", he mumbles.

Tendou puts a hand on his friends shoulder to comfort him a little bit. They both had finally calmed down a bit after their argument.

"I gotta say Semi, I never expected you to go this far for a girl", Tendou snickers. "It's just so not like you. You're the quiet type and I never thought you would be jealous this easily".

"Yeah yeah, I get it okay?", Semi grumbles as he now faces his friend. "Why did you eavesdrop us anyways? That's very rude you know..."

"My friend, I could tell from the moment you met (y/n) that something about her caught your attention. Considering the fact that you never were very interested in girls, it was very weird that you suddenly did and I noticed that straight away", Tendou begins.

"How d-"

"Hush! I'm not done yet!", Tendou yells as he punches Semi's shoulder in a playful way.

"So I was curious if you would make a move on her when she went looking for you, so I secretly followed her. Then I heard you telling her that bullshit story and that confirmed my assumption: You were jealous of Oikawa and you have feeling for (y/n)".

Semi was looking at Tendou, slack-jawed. His friend knew him way too well, it was just scary. Embarrassed, Semi ran a hand through his hair.

"Jesus Tendou, you know me better than I do myself", he says with a little smile on his face.

"Did I see you smile there for a little bit? Does that mean we're good?", Tendou laughs with a slightly desperate tone. He hated to have arguments in general, let alone with his childhood friend.

"Did I see you smile there for a little bit? Does that mean we're good?", Tendou laughs with a slightly desperate tone. He hated to have arguments in general, let alone with his childhood friend.

"Yes, we're good", Semi laughs as he holds out his hand for the middle blocker to shake it.
Tendou smiles as he harshly grabs Semi's hand and pulls him into a hug while smacking his back a little bit too hard.

"Ow! That hurts man!", Semi whines as he slaps the back of his friend too. "Let me go already".

Tendou lets go of his friend, but still lets his hand rest on Semi's right shoulder.
"You better tell (y/n) the truth about Oikawa and your feelings before that son of a bitch will steal her from you, got it?"

Semi's cheeks turn a bit pink as he nods at what Tendou had just said.
He needed to tell you the truth.

He had to confess his feelings.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Tendou and Semi had finally left the locker room. They were in there for almost one and a half hour, so all of the team members had already left.

Except for you and Ushijima.

The two of you had waited outside the gym for the players to return for a long time now. You had texted Semi so many messages, but he didn't reply to any of them. It had made you feel bit worried since you knew Tendou wanted to talk to the setter, but you had no idea about what since Semi played pretty good.
