Short Stuff [HAIKYUU: Tsukishima Kei x OC Fanfic] [Rewriting]

Chapter 8 - Wait What?

Akira's POV

"First things first," Tachina-sensei said as we entered the gym. "We have to get this place back to a useable state."

The school had a gym specifically for the badminton club before but it's been abandoned ever since the club disbanded. The ceiling was high and the ground was cemented. There were cobwebs dangling from the ceiling and there was dust everywhere. The windows were covered with tarps so it was pretty dark. Tachi-san turned on the light switch.

It looked way better without the light.

"Why don't you guys get changed into something more comfortable before we start cleaning up," Tachi-san told us.

I was able to recruit three people to join the club, just enough for a competing team.

The two girls I got for the doubles pair were Matsuoka Eri and Yamada Mariko, both first years. They were best friends and used to play tennis together in junior high. They were pretty synchronized and wanted to try badminton for a change. They were great for doubles.

Eri had shoulder length black hair that she always tied in a messy bun and Mariko had really long blonde hair that was braided most of the time. The two of them were basically partners in crime and would always make sure they teased you as best as they could.

Here's the not so best part, they were taller than me.

Then there was Akiyama Jiro, a second year who didn't take much interest in anything else. He was tall and had long legs and arms and he was pretty fast, perfect for singles. He had flowy light brown hair that he usually tied up when he worked out.

"Aki-chan, you have a visitor," Tachiba-sensei said as we took out some brooms and mops from the storage room. Tsukishima-kun was standing by the door. I walked up to him and smiled.

"Lunch," he said. I looked over to Tachi-sensei and she gave me a thumbs up.

There was an open field not too far from the gyms. The giant brought me over to a nearby tree and we sat under the shade. He placed a bento box on my lap.

"I had a feeling you wouldn't eat anything today so I had mom cook some extra food just in case," he said. "I couldn't find you during lunch, though."

"Y-yeah, sorry, I was in the library," I said. "But you really didn't have to-"

"Knowing you, I have to," he said with a smirk. "After all, you'll be training for your tournament soon, right?"

I nodded. I opened up the box and was greeted by the smell of homemade tempura. I started eating while Tsukishima-kun bought me a little carton of chocolate milk from a nearby vending machine.

"Shouldn't you be training?" I asked.

"And leave you to rot in hunger?" he replied with a smirk. "Don't worry about it. I told them and they understood."

"Y-yeah," I muttered. "They understand enough to sneak over here and hide behind a bush?"

Tsukishima turned over to the bush I was pointing at. He stood up and walked over there.

"What are you doing?" he asked with a glare.

Some members of the volleyball team was crouching down with their phones up. Wait, were they taking pictures?

"Nothing!" Tanaka-san yelled.

"You guys look like a match made in heaven," Noya-san followed, giving Tsukishima-kun a hard pat on the back.

"Aki-chan!" I heard Jiro-kun yell from a distance. He ran over to us and smiled. "Everyone else got changed. Head on over when you're done, okay?"

"Y-yeah, okay," I said.

"Oi, who are you?" Tanaka-san asked while he and Noya-san began ganging up on Jiro.

"He's a friend," I said. "This is Jiro-kun, he's part of the team."

"Nice to meet you," he said with a smile. "Thanks for taking care of Aki-chan!"

"Is he your boyfriend?" Daichi-san asked, placing his hand on my shoulder.

"N-no!" I yelled.

"You stuttered," everyone said at the same time. I let out a sigh.

"He really isn't," I said. "A-anyways, thank you for the lunch, Tsukishima-kun. I'll go wash this up and-"

"It's alright," he said, taking the bento box and smiled. "Don't overwork yourself, okay?"

"I won't," I said with a smile. The volleyball team grabbed him and dragged him back while Jiro and I walked back to the courts. I got changed into some shorts and a loose top and we all got to work, cleaning the entire place.

We were already halfway done and when night came, we all said our goodbyes before we left for home. I stayed behind to lock the club room and walked to the school gate.

"There you are, took you long enough."

Tsukishima-kun was waiting for me by the gate. He took his hands out of his pockets and took off his headphones.

"Wh-what are you doing here? It's super late," I said as I approached him.

"Waiting for you, obviously," he said. "Mom wants you over for dinner tonight. And it's late. And you're probably not going to eat tonight. And you might get raped out there."

"Okay, okay," I said with a sigh. "But I can really take care of myself-"

"Are you seriously going to keep arguing with me on this?" he asked.

"There really is no point, huh?"

"Come on, we can still catch the bus," he said and took my bag from me. We walked to the bus stop, talking about how our day went and about other school stuff...

Wait what?

We arrived at the bus stop right on time and he gave me the window seat once again.

"Tired?" he asked as a yawn escaped my mouth.

"Yeah, the gym was way too hard to clean up."

"Oh come on, seriously?" the bus driver yelled. "Sorry folks, we're going to have to take the long way around."

"Well, that should give you enough time to get a quick nap," the giant said.

"Well this isn't the first time I'm sleeping on a bus," I said.

"Come on," he said, patting his shoulder.

"Thanks.." I muttered. Another yawn escaped my mouth and yup.

I instantly fell asleep.

Tsukishima's POV

What am I doing?

I caught the girl in my arm, carried her to the clinic, made her have dinner at my house, let her sleep over, brought her lunch, and now I'm letting her sleep on my shoulder. I literally lent her my underwear. I LENT HER MY UNDERWEAR.

I don't know if this is a new low for me. Heck, I don't even know if this is a new level.

Akira shifted in her sleep, trying to get a bit more comfortable. I placed our bags down and had her rest her head on my lap.

She looked cute in her sleep...

Wait what?
