When Fire Attracts a Moth (A Tsukihina Love Story)

Chapter 18 - Who's Seductive? 🍋

Tsukishima and Akemi worked according to the schedule made by him. Of course, it involved not having Akemi over in his house as he doesn't want another uncomfortable situation with her. So with that, they spent the 1st run of collaboration in one of the study tables outside the library with Yamaguchi and Hinata just waiting around.

For the second meeting on a Friday, Tsukishima hoped it would be the last they had, they spent their lunch together at the same table together with Hinata, Yamaguchi, Yachi, and Kageyama. They've decided to have a quick lunch and meet up to see how they will merge their presentations. They will have Mr. Otoma check later in the afternoon for final adjustments over the weekend, if any that is.

While waiting, Yamaguchi decided to read a book. Yachi is reviewing their work to see what can be improved on the content. Hinata and Kageyama of course, doing some sets in the nearby open area using Hinata's ball. They placed their things in the grass.

"I think that's about it, do you have any last-minute idea or topic to add though?" Yachi said after Tsukishima showed the merged presentation.

"No, you?" Tsukishima asked Akemi.

"Yeah, I don't have anything else to add too."

"Both of you did great. All that's left to do is inform Mr. Otoma that you will need his time later to review this." Yachi then looked over where Hinata and Kageyama were playing. She waved at Kageyama when she caught him looking her way.

"Uhhh I think they're done." Kageyama stopped his toss for Hinata and just threw the ball to Hinata instead. He went to get his towel in his bag.

"You whipped Bakayama. One call and you turn your back on me. Grrr..."

"Shut up Boke, she's my happiness. My very own nervous sunshine. So my Yachi trumps best friend anytime. But you know I love you bro as disgusting as it sounds 🙄. Besides, you're one to talk, you are whipped by that beanpole too. Which reminds me. Have you done the deed?" Kageyama whispered the last question while burying his face in the towel to wipe off sweat.

"Huh no of course not you Baka! How about you? You're no different!"

"Ahhh well. No too. I mean. Should we have? Shouldn't you have? You're not getting pregnant you know hahaha!"

"You baka! Okay fine, I admit... we make out... a—a lot. But Kei is very considerate of me and he spoils me so much that sometimes I feel like I am taking advantage of him. You have nothing to worry about. So you should be like that with Yachi too."

"I am convinced that he treasures you so I stopped worrying a while ago dumbass. And FYI, I do take care of Yachi. I respect her boundaries and besides, her mom is scary hehe..."

They are almost near the earshot of everyone so they stopped talking already.

"Thanks, everyone, let's hurry to class. We still have more than 5 minutes I think?" Tsukishima started clearing up the laptop, USB, documents, and his bag.

"Agree." Hinata and the others started to move as well.

Later in the afternoon, everything went well with Mr. Otoma's review. All that is left is the actual seminar by Saturday which will take only about 2 hours at most. The seminar for the participants will be until Sunday but Tsukishima and Akemi don't need to be there for the whole duration since they are speakers only.

"Let's go?" Tsukishima approached Yamaguchi and Hinata who were chatting in the nearby bench. He wanted so much to hold Hinata right there and then. He wants to recharge right away using Hinata's energy. But no, cannot be of course.

"How was it?" Yamaguchi asked. He looked over at Akemi who was right behind Tsukishima.

"Yeah, that was easier than I thought. Or maybe we work well together? What do you think Tsukishima senpai?"
