❝ chapter 5 ❞

Wednesday.
Semi walks towards the classroom door when the bell rang. He immediately takes the hallway which will lead him to the volleyball gym.

He yawns softly. Chemistry class is undoubtedly a boring subject for him.
The gym entrance door is half opened, enough for his medium-built body to fit in it. He lazily steps in but a firm leg suddenly appears causing him to stumble on the floor.

"Oops, sorry..." an irritating voice speaks. Semi saw his annoying rival behind the door. Shirabu quickly jogs away while ruffling his own hair.

Semi clicks his tongue. After that, he heard an audible laugh from the court and he saw Tendou clutching his stomach to restrain his laughter.

Ushijima jabs Tendou on his ribs and the red hair automatically zips his lips.

The team decided to have a 4 on 4 game. Ushijima, Kai, Semi, and Reon are in Team A. Tendou, Hayato, Shirabu, and Goshiki are in Team B. The others are scorers and some are linemen.

The two setters are facing each other with the net in between them.

Shirabu can't help but examine Semi's face. He gazes at the taller setter's thick and messy ash blonde hair with dark tips. Shirabu also notices that they have the same brown eyes.

Shirabu shakes his head and concentrates on the game when he heard a loud whistle.

The second-year is totally annoyed with Semi's dump and feints. Semi just let out a sarcastic laugh while showing his thumb at Shirabu and tilting it down.

Loser.

Ushijima's back-row attack made their team won that game and Tendou looks like his ring finger severed. He tried to block Ushijima but he failed.

Ushijima quickly walks towards Tendou and checks his finger. Tendou's face heats up when he realizes that his crush was standing a few inches close to him, holding his long and slender fingers.

"Does it hurt? I'm sorry." Ushijima said while gently rubbing Tendou's finger.

Across the court, the two setters are currently glaring at each other while holding their water bottle. Semi has a smirk on his face and Shirabu has this annoying look.

"What? Loser." Semi scoffs.

"Nothing, EX STARTING SETTER." Shirabu rebutted while his fingers quoted the last three words in the air.

Before the two could have a clash, Goshiki suddenly appears and he shows a pair of scissors to Shirabu.
The two guys with weird bangs walks away from Semi. Semi just rolled his eyes and picks his bag.

Thursday.
The practice was ended a little early this day. Ushijima instructed Semi, Goshiki, Tendou, and Shirabu to clean the court.

Goshiki cheers his three teammates to clean properly and he says something like, "I should be a role model because that's the duty of a future ace!"

Tendou simply laughs at the first year while teasing him.

Not too far from them, Semi and Shirabu are holding a mop.

A dark atmosphere is in between them while they are at each other's side, mopping. Semi occasionally and intentionally hits Shirabu's mop which makes the latter whizzed in annoyance.

But Shirabu doesn't want to lose so he 'accidentally' pushes Semi which makes the taller setter glance at him. Semi drops the mop he's holding and faces Shirabu.

"What do you get when you're making fun of me?" Semi angrily exclaims. Shirabu blankly stares, after a while, he rests his own mop against the wall a few meters beside him. He walks back in Semi's direction and stands in front of the taller guy.

"Why do you care?" Shirabu tilts his head. "You also makes fun of me but I didn't complain." He added.

Semi runs his fingers on his messy ash-blonde locks and replies, "Because you deserve it."

Shirabu murmurs the word "really?" under his breath and looks down. He always shows that he's annoyed but deep down, he feels delighted. Whenever they argue with some nonsense stuff, Semi always puts all his attention on him. Which makes him happy.

"Stop smiling, you look like a cursed doll." Semi snaps his fingers on Shirabu's face. "And look at your hair, do you used to live on the mountains? You look like an antique man."

Shirabu tilts his head up to meet Semi's eyes.
"Says the one whose hair looks like a raccoon's tail," he mocks.

Semi clicks his tongue and grabs Shirabu's shirt. No one has ever said that to him. Yes, he has an unusual hair color but Semi clearly knows that it doesn't look like a raccoon's tail (he doesn't even sure about how raccoon's tail looks like). BUT, his hair is cuter than anything else.

"What the hell did you say?" Semi grits his teeth.

Before Shirabu could respond, Goshiki, who is running backwards towards them hits the back of Semi.

Semi loses his balance and he ends up on top of Shirabu who is lying on the floor. Semi's right leg is in between the smaller guy's thighs, his hands are pinned on both of Shirabu's shoulders. Semi also notices the smaller guy's hands gripping his shirt.

Semi has the chance to check the smaller boy's scattered bangs. Shirabu's lips are parted and he has a visible irritation written all over his face while glaring at the guy on top of him.

Semi feels dizzy, his mind is wandering. But he can't understand why his heart is thumping fast while staring at the guy under him.

"S-sorry! Semi-san! Kenjirou-san!"

Semi shakes his head, pushes all of his thoughts back, and quickly stands up. He dusts off his shirt and slightly smiles at Goshiki telling him that it's alright.

Shirabu is still lying on the floor. He's watching Semi picking the mop. He's certain that when they looked at each other, he saw something in Semi's eyes. He doesn't know what is it. But Shirabu is sure that it is something special.

Shirabu then shrugs and stands up, ignoring the helping hand of Goshiki.
