Timeskip
The bright, flashing lights and the cacophony of bleeps and bloops from the various arcade games filled the air as Tsukishima and Y/N stepped through the entrance. Y/N's eyes immediately lit up with excitement, their gaze darting from one colorful machine to the next.
"Wow, I haven't been to an arcade in ages!" She exclaimed, practically bouncing on the balls of her feet. "Where should we start?"
Tsukishima couldn't help but quirk an eyebrow, the corners of his lips twitching upward ever so slightly. "Eager, aren't we?"he mused, his tone laced with a hint of amusement.
Y/N grinned sheepishly. "Can you blame me? This place is like a playground for adults!"
Tsukishima chuckled, his guard momentarily lowered in the face of Y/N's infectious enthusiasm. "Well, lead the way then. I'm curious to see how you fare at these games."

Every so often, their shoulders would brush against each other as they jostled for position in front of the machines, and Tsukishima couldn't help but feel a familiar warmth bloom in his chest at the casual contact. There was a comfortable ease to their interactions, a sense of camaraderie that had developed between them.
As they neared the end of their arcade adventure, Y/N insisted on one final game – a classic crane machine filled with an array of plush toys. Tsukishima watched, his expression a mix of amusement and begrudging fascination, as Y/N meticulously maneuvered the claw, their tongue poking out in concentration.
With a triumphant cry, Y/N emerged victorious, clutching a small, adorable bear plush close to her chest. "Look, Tsukishima! Isn't it cute?"
Tsukishima found himself unable to suppress a genuine smile as he gazed at the delighted expression on Y/N's face. "Hmm, I suppose it has a certain charm to it."
As he exited the arcade, plush toy in hand, Tsukishima couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over him. Spending this carefree time with Y/N had been a welcome respite from the constant demands of their line of work, and he found himself looking forward to more moments like these in the future.
