HEAVEN AND BACK ; Y. CHISHIYA

CHAPTER 7

HEAVEN AND BACK.

As you walked onto the court, you felt the rush of the cold air from the AC. The court was much cooler than you'd imagined, even though you knew it was going to be colder with the roof closed.

"Shit." You followed beside your coach. "It's unnecessarily cold here."

Chishiya had heard what you said. Unbeknownst to you, he was already taking his jacket off.

You felt a pair of hands on your shoulders. "Keep yourself warm."

"Oh.." Hesitantly, you slid your arms into the sleeves and zipped up the white jacket. "Thanks."

Chishiya nodded and let himself fall back behind, joining the team that walked behind your coach and you.

Coach Rutner had no shame in bringing it up. "So, are you sure that you two aren't dating? The two of you are always together, even if you aren't going to tell me, your fans will find out soon. Even if the two of you aren't together, they'll be able to see that something is going on between Chishiya and you."

"We aren't together, but.."

"I can tell." The coach left the conversation there.

As the area guide continued through the court and gave pieces of history here and there, you could feel a pair of eyes on you. They weren't judging you like how it would usually feel when there were a pair of eyes on you. Their gaze was softer, more protective than judging, because of that, you didn't mind it.

"Aw shit. It's finally time for sleep." You stretched your arms above you.

Chishiya turned to you, amused. "Didn't you practically sleep the whole ride here? How are you still tired?"

"I've been busy and incredibly active. Not only that, but I've been stressed, so I'm pretty exhausted."

"Well then, you should go get your rest then right?"

"Preferably."

"All right then, I guess it's good night then."

"Yeah.." There was an awkward silence for a few seconds. "Here's your jacket by the way. Thank you for lending it to me when I was cold earlier."

You handed him the white jacket that you had borrowed earlier. Now without it, you couldn't help but feel exposed.

He took the folded clothing and put his hand on the back of your neck, pulling you in. Then, he planted a light kiss on your forehead before quickly pulling away, leaving you flustered in front of your hotel room alone.

"Good night Y/n."

'Shit. Shit. Shit. He kissed me on my forehead. He fucking kissed me on my forehead. Maybe... just maybe.'

You brought your hand up to your forehead and touched where he had kissed you. Thinking back to the moment was able to make heat rise up to your cheeks.

Placing your keycard onto the lock, you pushed the door open and walked in. You couldn't focus on the tasks at hand when the thought of Chishiya clouded your mind entirely.

"Just take a shower, brush your teeth, and go to sleep. You can't keep thinking about this Y/n." You spoke to yourself, hoping to regroup yourself from cloud nine.
