Soothing Dawn || Tsukkishimaxreader

chapter seven

"Tsk, why does everyone keep on disturbing us?" Tsukkishima clicked his tongue seemingly irritated. You felt your throat shake when you let out a small chuckle, earning a small playful glare from the tall blondie. He grumbled and looked the other way, "What's so funny?"

You stopped and looked at him, smiling to yourself when you noticed his ears flushed. "Tsukkishima-san, do you wanna go to the park tomorrow?" you ushered, poking his shoulders to earn his attention. He moved his head to look at you. What's with the sudden request? But when he really think about it, it has been quite a while since the last time you were together, alone.

Most of the time he had his time with you were always interrupted, and he was just at his limits to screw the world. He actually need to study for a test the day after tomorrow, but how can he refuse when you give him a smile like that. He wouldn't be  able to deny your request; sometimes, he thinks it unfair.

"Fine, meet me tomorrow at six, at Kuroi's place."

Your smile came even wider and you couldn't help but feel ecstatic about tomorrow. "Thank you!" and before you even knew it, you were nearing your home, a few more steps and you would reach the doorstep. A strange feeling swept over your chest. Like the warm sun had bathed it's light directly into you. The feeling was nice, and it gave you the courage to do something you would've never imagined you could. 

Tsukkishima turned to you to say his goodbyes before he leaves for his own home, when two small arms reached out to him, keeping him close in a tight embrace. He took aback, never expecting the action as his hands hovered over your back in a flustered confusion. He didn't know what to do, he was so unfamiliar with this that his mind went blank. But, there's one thing for sure amidst all the confusion - he didn't want to let you go, at this very moment, when it was just the two of you.

But alas, then came the time where you let go - a bright smile plastered to your face when you looked up at him. "Thank you for this day Tsukkishima-kun, I really enjoyed it." you bowed as a farewell and waved him goodbye, hovering your hands over the door handle,

"See you tomorrow."

"The weather's nice today!" You beamed before turning to the tall blondie, "Right? Tsukkishima-kun?"

"Mn..."

After last night, he hadn't had enough time to process what had happened. He was starstruck at the fact that you hugged him. Quite unlikely for his personality but it's true. You even showed up in his dreams, even thinking about it made him flush red.

He came to a stop when your palm hovered over his forehead, tip-toeing to reach him. "What are you--"

"That's good." You sighed in relief. A brief smile came to your lips when you pulled over, "You don't seem to be sick." You said. "Are you sure you're okay?"

He blinked a couple times to realize what you meant. He didn't mean to worry you, and all he wanted was have you all to hinself today, so he should probably snap out of it.

He can feel his chest tingle at the thought of you. His hand flinched and reached out to yours; intertwining your fingers, tightly and swiftly.

"Tsukki--"

"There's...a lot of people here, you might get sweeped by if you don't hold on." He said. He started walking with your hands fixed to his. You couldn't do anything more but to come with him. Afterall, you don't really hate holding hands with him, in fact, it made you happy.

But you couldn't help but laugh about his excuse. It was the park, not too many people come here unlike the market, but he used the excuse that there's a 'crowd'. It's a stupidly cute excuse.
