The Cow Couple (Haikyuu! fanfic)

Chapter 3

For Mishima, it wasn't hard to adjust to the environment of Miyagi schools. Even though she spent 2 years studying in Tokyo, she still remembered her life style in Miyagi that she now is recalling. She also easily made friends with her classmates. Because of her easy to approach atmosphere, many of them wanted to be around her and be close with her, seeing the friendly impression she showed them.

"Mishima-san, do you want to eat at the rooftop together?" asked one girl.

"Mishima-chan, is it okay for me to call you Akira-chan?" said one boy who thought of her to be cute.

"You're so pretty, Mishima-chaaaan!" squealed another girl in admiration.

"H-Hold on, e-everyone..." a crowd was starting to form around Mishima, making it hard for her to move around and breath. She didn't mind people wanting to eat lunch with her, but they were suffocating her and she couldn't resist shouting. "Everyone!" she hollered in a loud voice. Everyone silenced after that.

Her eyes looked around wearily, from left to right. "Sorry..." she muttered, looking down embarrassedly. A presence suddenly caught her eye as she saw Ushijima walking out of the classroom, a lunch box in his hand. She suddenly snapped out of her daze, shaking her head and turned to the people around her. "Sorry! I-I totally forgot that I had plans this hour. Sorry!" she dashed out of her spot and out of the classroom to run after Ushijima who was halfway walking down the stairs.

"Ushiwaka!" she called after him, peeking through the railings of the stairs.

The volleyball paused from walking and looked up at her stoically. "It's Ushijima" he corrected her.

She shot him a smile. "I know that" she replied, skipping through steps so she could catch up to him. "I just combined Ushijima and Wakatoshi~" Mishima hummed teasingly, grinning at her classmate.

"Okay" Ushijima continued walking, leaving her there as she chased after him.

"Ushiwaka-chan!" she whined, grabbing him by the arm. He stopped once again to look at her. "What?" he asked plainly.

She pouted at him, "Why are you walking away like that?"

"I'm going to eat my lunch..."

"You could at least invite someone! Eating lunch alone is lonely you know!"

"Fine. Wanna eat lunch?"

"Eh~ Of course I want to~ I thought you'd never ask, Ushiwaka-chan~"

From there, her playfulness stopped. She and Ushijima headed straight to a bench outside the building to eat their lunch before she realized she forgot her own lunch box upstairs, in her bag. "E-Eh, how can I forget such thing?!" she rambled to herself while Ushijima just watch her curse herself. "Sorry, Ushiwaka-chan. Can I leave you here for a while? I'll just go get my lunch box"

"Sure"

"Sorry, I'll be right back!" and there Ushijima was left alone with nothing but his food. 'I wonder what Oka-san made today...' slowly, he opened the lid of his Tupperware.
