You gulp nervously, clenching the chocolates in your hand. You squeal a little when you feel the chocolate break under the pressure of your hand and you let out a scream that possibly sounded like a dying whale. Suddenly, you drop to the ground, the chocolates falling in front of you. Crying chibi tears you sigh dramatically. Thankfully, no one was around to see you acting this way.
Why? You were a shy person. In front of people you weren't able to express yourself properly, you'd stutter and blush a little too much. But by yourself? It was a fun life. You'd be constantly screaming and laughing your ass off at any random thing. You just didn't have very good people skills, so what were you thinking when you told yourself you'd confess to Ushijima Wakatoshi? You weren't sure.
Today was Valentine's Day and what better day to get rejected by the one you like? There really was no better day than today. Your friends constantly asked you what you saw in the cold and blunt captain of Shiratorizawa, you simply replied everything. You didn't know why, but you knew you liked everything about him. From his forwardness to his perfect imperfection.
You quickly reach out and grab the chocolates again and shove them into your bag, but before that can happen you feel a presence in the room. You freeze instantly. A shadow covers your figure on the ground, you look up to meet olive eyes that you adore. Before you can say anything to him, you hear fangirls scream and yell from outside of the classroom. Thankfully, they don't open the door to the room.
"What are you doing on the floor?" Ushijima Wakatoshi questions in his deep voice.
You can't get anything out, your face explodes into red and you stutter incoherently. Apparently he seems to understand that you're extremely shy as he crouches down to your level and asks you something else while picking up the chocolates in front of you, "Are you planning on confessing to someone today?"
You realize he seems awfully curious and eager to know and so you nod. He hums, something out of character for him, "Who are you giving them to?"
You try to open your mouth to answer, but no sound comes out. You have to suddenly reel back as Ushijima's face is now a little too close to your own. You laugh nervously as he keeps his gaze on you. You take a deep breath in and exhale. You take the chocolates back from him and stand up, he follows. You then hand him the chocolates back, rapidly shooting out, "I like you Ushiwaka-san! These are for you, please accept them?!"
Squealing a little, you forget your bag and sprint out of the room before Ushijima has a chance to say anything, and before you realize that you've called him by the nickname he hates so much. You sprint down the halls and to the area your friends usually sit at, they look at you with expecting expressions. You stand there panting with dishevelled hair.
"Hey, (Name)-chan! How did it go?" Kurosaki Kei, your best friend asks, obviously excited. You slowly walk over to her and tell her what happened.
Ushijima is left standing alone in the empty classroom with a roaring blush, chocolates in hand and your bag nearby. You ran away before he could say anything else, sighing, he picks up your bag and takes it with him, planning to give it back to you and give his answer back to you. He also realizes that you called him by his famous nickname "Ushiwaka". Wasn't that just cute? He stays for a little longer to try and compose himself. Ushijima leaves the empty room and walks down the hall, it's surprisingly empty at the moment.
The tall male decides that he'd like to try some of your chocolate. As he looks at it, he sees it's a little burned, but that doesn't stop him from trying it, after all, you're the one who made it. He pops a piece in his mouth and he feels like he's died and gone to heaven. This has to be a joke, right? Who can cook this well and have slightly bad presentation? Apparently you.
He turns down the hallway, still popping pieces of chocolate in his mouth, he runs into a member of the volleyball club and it's Tendo.
"Ah, captain." he states.
"Tendo."
"Are you eating chocolate?"
"Yes." Ushijima is a little suspicious of Tendo asking that question...
"Who's it from?" and there it is, Ushijima sighs.
"A girl." his answer is blunt and honest as usual.
"What's her name?" thankfully before Ushijima can answer a horde of fangirls are heading their way and Ushijima jogs off, heading forwards and leaving Tendo behind. As he's jogging, he pops another chocolate in his mouth. It's heavenly. He keeps on eating the treats until they're soon gone and he's left a little upset. He tucks the little bag in his pocket and keeps on looking for you before class starts again. Thankfully, if he doesn't find you now, after the next few classes, school will be over and he'll be able to find you then.
You'd already finished telling Kei about your mishap and realizing that you called him "Ushiwaka" instead of "Ushijima". When you'd realized you'd cried chibi tears again and wailed to Kei, "He must hate me now! I got his name wrong!"
Kei pats your head and gives you a hug, "Actually, I don't think he hates you at all."
"What?" she points behind you and standing there is the man himself, Ushijima Wakatoshi. You freeze again and Kei smirks at you as she leaves and Ushijima makes his way towards you.
"I'm sorry for calling you Ushiwaka!" you cry out.
"It's fine," you raised your head, "I'll forgive you if you become my girlfriend."
"Anything's fin- What?" you pause, trying to digest what he just told you.
"Be my girlfriend. I do like you back you know." he tells you with a still stoic face.
You nod again and he hands you back your bag that you forgot. You smile shyly at him as he pulls you up and gives you a quick hug. He pulls back and you see some red on his ears and you figure out he's blushing. Ushijima gives you the cutest smile you've ever seen and you melt.
"Ushijima-san, what do you like about me?"
He gives a little cough, "Everything. I like you from your shyness and the way you do athletics."
You nod happily until it clicks, "You've watched me do athletics?!"
He sheepishly nods and you blush heavily. "Thank you. I didn't know of anyone who knew I did athletics. Maybe next time you can watch me"
"That would be nice, you know what you can do?"
"Yeah?"
"Call me Wakatoshi and make me more of those chocolates."
