Do You Still Love Me?

12

The following day Shirabu woke up at five and got dressed. He made sure he didn't wake up Semi who had fallen asleep on the couch and also made sure he had everything he needed. Just as he was about to leave there was a knock on the door. Opening it he saw Tsukishima. He walked out then closed the door and then asked, "Hey Tsukishima. Why are you here?"

"I thought I would come pick you up so you wouldn't be late from trying to figure out where the school was from here. I also got you starbucks." He handed the shorter boy a frappuccino and he happily started drinking on their way to Tsukishima's car after saying thank you.

When they got to school they walked to their classroom and sat in there seats getting everything ready for class. They talked until their teacher arrived and class started.

Finally it was lunch time and then they only had their extra curricular class and they could go home.

"So, how are things going with you?" Asked Shirabu.

"They've been okay. Akiteru, mom, and Seako have been pretty helpful and supportive. Tanaka too actually."

"I would expect as much. Your family is really nice, yknow. Does your dad know about Yammie?"

"Not yet he's still on his business trip and hasn't answered his phone. What have you been up too?" Tsukishima asked taking a bite of his food.

"Well, I have a stream with Kenam Friday, Tendou's coming over today, and I met Mika's girlfriend yesterday. Turns out shes Semis manager and producer. I'll be going out with those too in like two weeks so that should be fun."

"Seems like you'll be busy. What ate you doing with videos?"

"Taking a break. I really need it. I've been way too stressed lately and it's bad for me. Besides, I'm releasing an album with Semi."

"Yeah, your right. Good job on taking care if yourself. Yamaguchi wouldn't stop worrying about you."

"Sorry about that."

"Your trying to be better now so theres nothing to apologize for." They continued their lunch and then had choir. Once they were done with that class Tsukishima dropped off Shirabu and then went home. Reaching Semi's apartment Shirabu knocked on the door. Semi opened it and let in Shirabu who immediately sat down at the dining table, grabbing stuff from his bag.

"Semi can you make me tea if you have some?"

"You little brat. Do you want iced or hot?"

"Iced. I have more homework already and I want to cry."

"Cry then." Tendou said walking out of the bathroom startling Shirabu.

"I forgot you were gonna be here."

"Well aren't I loved." He said sarcastically sitting down at the table with Shirabu.

"So Shirabu why haven't you texted me recently?" Shirabu looked up from his computer at Tendou slightly guilty.

"Just some...personal stuff you could say." He said before turning to Semi. "Speaking of which Tsukishima wants to come over tomorrow is that okay?"

"I don't care. You guys go do sad grieving boy things."

"Okay don't say that again. We can joke about my sadness to help me cope, but never use that phrase agian."

"Okay back up I think I missed a few chapters. What does grieving mean?"

"To suggrr grief. Duh."

"That's not what I meant saltyboo."

"Then be more specific next time."

"Fine, why are you grieving?"

"Well Yamaguchi is in a coma." He got a bit quieter towards the end of the sentence and just continued his work not wanting to talk about it.

Tendou caught on and just left it alone knowing it would only make things worse for Shirabu. Semi soon finished making Shirabu's tea and set it next to him only to see him staring intensely at a bunch of words.

"You forgetting something Shirabu?" Confused Shirabu looked over at Semi who had walked away and grabbed something. When he reached the table again he set down a pair of glasses. Thanking him Shirabu put the glasses on and continued reading the email his professor sent the class. Once he finished that he grabbed a bunch of multicolored pens, pastel highlighters, a study guide, a book, and a piece of paper beginning to study for his test in two days.

"How does he have the energy to study? Especially after school?"

"Um because I want to pass and not have this be a waste of time and money? That and it's a grade." He then grabbed his phone and headphones before playing some classical music, so he wouldn't be disturbed.

"So Semi hows Renèe?" Tendou asked. He had met her once before when he was out with Semi one day.

"She's been good. Turns out her girlfriend is Shirabu's cousin actually."

"Mika? I thought she was with Daishou?"

"They broke up in highschool rember? Then Daishou and Tersushima started dating I think? That's what Shirabu told me atleast."

"I see. So you and Shirabu huh?" Tendou said suggestively earning a punch to the arm by Semi.

"No, Tendou. Nothings going on between us."

"Uh huh suuurrreeee. You'll be dating soon enough. Trust me."

"Whatever you say Tendou."

"You guys should come over to my house next month. I'm trying to get the whole team together for a sleepover." Tendou said as he got up to get chips.

"That could be interesting. I'll try to go. I'll also try to get Shirabu to go."

"Good. Oh if this works out it will be so fun!"
