Day 4 of the training camp. 

Thankfully, this day wasn't as schedule packed as the others since the coaches didn't want to overwork the players and strain their muscles to the point of injury. And since this day was a lighter day with less games, I decided to hang out with Himuro during the afternoon for our... date.

It was hot. I didn't know I was going to be going on a date, so I didn't have nice date clothes for hot days. I just had shorts and t-shirts and some tank tops. Yeah, I couldn't go on a date wearing this stuff.

"GIRLS!" I yelled as I entered the managers room, seeing everyone there. "Code red! I need help!"

"What's wrong (Y/N)?" Kiyoko asked, looking concerned.

"I need to borrow some clothes!" They tilted their heads and I knew I would have to say the reason why. "I have a date..."

"..."

"..."

"OH MY-!"

"Eri get the makeup!"

"I'll lend you some clothes! Mako, can you fix her hair?"

"On it!"

I stood there in shock as they all began to work like a unit to help prepare me. Shirofuku grabbed my shoulder, grinning. "We'll make sure you're prepared for your date."

"Thanks," I mumbled back with a smile as they all began to help me out. 'This is nice, having girls have your back.'

These managers were the best friends I could ever have.


"Tatsuya!" I greeted, waving my hand at him and he looked up from his phone, smiling at me.

"Hey (Y/N)," Himuro replied, putting his phone into his pocket. "I'm glad that you had free time to hang out with me."

Looking him up and down, the ravenhead wore a white t-shirt with a necklace holding a ring and ripped black jeans.

'Okay, how is this male able to look so goddamn fine. He makes me feel self-conscious standing next to him and I know that I'm pretty, but still.'

"Of course, today was a light day so I was able to come."

He hummed and looked down at me. "By the way, you look very pretty today."

"T-Thank you," I responded with a bright smile. The girls helped me dress up and I was wearing a teal crop top with high waist beige shorts and sandals. I began to walk beside him and he seemed to match my pace when walking. "What are we going to do today?"

Himuro smiled, looking at me. "Well, I was thinking we could walk around the city and look at some shops, eat lunch, and play some street ball if you want to."

"That sounds chill," I hummed, fanning myself due to the heat.

"Great, then let's go," he said and suddenly grabbed my hand, making my eyes widen as he looked down at me with a closed eye smile. "Please do remember (Y/N) that this is a date."

"I, uh, yeah thanks," I stumbled out, feeling my cheeks burn. Looking at our connected hands I couldn't help but blush even more.

This... was not Akashi Seijuro. I was not on a date with him. I was on a date with Himuro Tatsuya.

Carefully, I squeezed his hand and I could feel him tense for a brief moment before Himuro relaxed.

'That's right... I'm no longer with Sei... I'm free to do what I want...'
