First Meet

"Listen, me saying I can't do it is one thing, but when someone else says it then it's a problem."

Tsukishima was grumbling to Yamaguchi, while volleyball wasn't always his top priority it had become more important as he started to understand his teammate's passion for the game, and felt it himself. 

"Tsuki it's not that big of a deal, you are a blocker so pinch serves aren't someone you need to be good at"

Yamaguchi tried to reason with him. Seeing Tsukishima with his head in the game was still very strange. Stopping by their shoe lockers to change shoes before heading to class Yamaguchi grabbed a small slip of paper out of his shoe locker, grinning up at Tsukishima.

"Hey look another poem!"

Tsukishima sighed and slipped on his shoes.

"You ought to find out who keeps sending you those. Might be some creep"

Yamaguchi sulked a bit, causing Tsukishima to chuckle to himself a bit.

"Anyways, see you at practice"

He waved as he walked to his class, headphones on and music playing. He wasn't willing to put up with his loud classmates this morning. Slipping into his seat Tsukishima stared out the window, adjusting his glasses slightly. 

The bell rang, and he grabbed the needed materials out of his bag and focused on the lecture. 

Shortly through class, his mind and eyes began to wander. Tsukishima had never really cared for his classmates but glancing around he was intrigued by one student. 

They were quiet and kept to themself for the most part, he had never spoken to them understanding that they liked to be left alone for the most part. 

But something made him want to know more about this almost alien person who sat not even 3 meters from him. then they looked up, noticing Tsukishima staring. His eyes locked with theirs, and he noticed the softness of it, their eyes glowed almost like stars and he quickly became even more infatuated with this strange classmate. 

The student looked away, face slightly red as Tsukishima too, realized he had stared for too long and turned away. His face heated up a bit and he tried to refocus on the lesson to no avail, he would have to talk to them after class. 

𖤧 After class

Tsukishima gathered his things and strode to them trying to be as casual as possible.

"Hey, what's your name again?"

he asked coolly. They glanced up, faces heating up again.

"I'm l/n"

they answered meekly, clearly trying to hide their face from him.

"I'm Tsukishima. Sorry for staring at you."

he got to the point he told himself, but at the same time he did want to see them again. he could see them still getting nervous but eventually looked him in the eyes.

"No its fine."

They appeared so determined, it almost made him laugh. Instead he smirked lightly and quipped back.

"I have a volleyball game tomorrow. You should come."

he caught a glimpse of their smile, his heart skipped a beat, and a warm rush of emotions washed over him. It was as if the whole world faded into the background, leaving only their radiant presence. He found himself mesmerized, unable to look away until they responded. 

"I'll think about it."
