Sugar Cookie

60

Day one of the qualifiers ended. The Karasuno boys beat Johzenji and Wakutani. You were happy, your nerves finally disappearing for the day. You did almost throw up during their first game of the day. Yachi panicked and assisted you to the bathroom in between games, seeing if that would make you feel better. You hadn't thrown up, but you felt really close to doing it.

Sugawara hadn't asked you out yet. You didn't think much of it, assuming he was waiting for the right moment. But your attention had been more focused on the games. You panicked during the Wakutani match when Tanaka and Daichi ran into each other, causing the Karasuno captain to leave the game due to getting injured. You panicked during that match, worried that the boys wouldn't be able to win. You felt extremely relieved when they still won, with Ennoshita acting as captain. You felt pride for the second year, feeling that there was nothing more to worry about for the rest of the qualifiers.

At least, you felt that way, until you saw who your opponent for tomorrow would be. Your eyes widened when you saw Dateko lose to Aoba Johsai. You knew Karasuno would once again have to play against Oikawa and the rest of the boys from Seijoh. A chill ran down your spine as you imagined how rough the next two days of games would be. They'd have to face the two biggest powerhouses of the Miyagi prefecture. You felt your nervousness return, your stomach feeling awful.

Yachi noticed. "Y/n-senpai! Are you going to be sick?!"

You groan, holding your stomach. "You know, I think I need to be hospitalized. Or be put on some sort of medication. There's no way we really have to face Aoba Johsai again, right?"

Sugawara noticed how terrible you were feeling, knowing that wasn't like you. He wondered what we could possibly say to make you feel better. He drew a blank, not knowing how to get you back to normal.

Hinata jumped up. "We're going to beat Seijoh tomorrow! We're stronger now! They can't beat us again!"

You smile weakly. "Yeah. Good luck. Do your best."

Yachi panicked. "Y/n-senpai feels even worse!"

Sugawara walks up to you, putting a hand on your shoulder. "Deep breaths, Y/n. Will you be my girlfriend?"

You freeze, blinking a few times to process what you heard. You relaxed, thinking of your answer. "Of course I'll be your girlfriend, Koushi." Your nervousness was quickly forgotten.

The third year setter smiled. "Good. Now remember that. You and I are together now, there's no need to worry about anything."

You nod, smiling. "Right."

Sugawara smiled brightly. "Let's go home now!"

You all agree, walking out of the building. You all got on the bus, Sugawara sitting beside you. You rested your head on his shoulder during the ride back to the school, he laid his head on top of yours. You and Sugawara's hands were intertwined during that ride. Not once did either of you let go of the other. You both smiled, briefly resting on the bus while you had the chance.

When you all arrive at the school and file off of the bus, you and your childhood best friend - now boyfriend - walk home together. You keep holding hands with the third year, smiles still on your faces. You quietly walk back to your house.

You turn to look at him. "Would you like to come over and eat dinner with me, Koushi?"

Sugawara nods. "I'd love to, Y/n. What do you plan on making?"

"F/f."

"Ooo! It's always a good day when you make that! I'm the luckiest person alive to always be able to eat your cooking."

You giggle, walking into your house after opening the door. "I feel lucky to just have you in my life. I can't believe we actually started dating before you graduated high school."

The silver haired boy follows you into your kitchen, having closed the front door behind you two. "Really? You didn't think we'd get together while we're still in the same school?"

You shake your head. "I was starting to doubt it when neither of us confessed before you became a third year. I was starting to worry that I was the only one that felt romantic feelings."

Suga looks at you, slowly blinking his eyes. "Well, I've always liked you. I just didn't know if you felt the same, and didn't want to risk ruining our friendship if you didn't feel the same way. But, I'm glad that our feelings are mutual."

You nod, smiling wider. "Yeah. Nothing feels as great as being with the only person I've ever liked as something more than a friend or family."

He agrees. "I'm happy I finally get to make you mine, Y/n."

"Now, all that needs to be done is beat Aoba Johsai and Shiratorizawa, so that we can head to nationals."
