Blocking Your Love (Tsukishima Kei X Reader)

Chapter 22

After classes, Yamaguchi and Tsukishima went to the gym to find absolutely no one.

They were quite early; earlier than the third years.

They went to the locker rooms first and changed. Before anyone could enter the locker room, the blonde spoke up.

"You wanted to talk to me. Speak up before someone comes here." Tsukishima said straightforwardly.

"I-it's about (Name)... I'm kind of..."

"I know, Yamaguchi."

"E-eh?"

"You're in love with her."

"Tsukki, how-"

"It was so obvious. Didn't you know?"

"Wait... You mean to tell me-"

"Yeah. All this time the three of us have been friends... I've seen you fall in love with her. How you were so attracted to her... I just didn't mind it. (Name) keeps blaming herself for ruining our friendship because she's in love with me. But you know what?"

"Tsukki-"

"I like her too. I never spoke up. Yeah, I never did," He continued, his voice becoming aggressive. "Because I was so scared of hurting someone else's feelings. I was so scared, I rejected her. I was so scared because I don't want to hurt your feelings! I was so fucking scared of hurting her! Do you think I wanted this to happen?!" He shouted at the freckled boy.

"Tsukki, I... I..."

"I let her go. I'm letting her go. Because I want you to be with the person you love. Sadly, She loves ME. I-"

"Tsukki, ENOUGH. Don't you see? I want the same thing too! I never wanted her to feel so hurt! Thinking that the three of us are fighting because of her, i-it's ridiculous! She's always wished for the best... She's too nice... Thinking about others before herself; she deserves to be with the person she loves!" Yamaguchi spat back.

Then there was silence; so much silence was heard, they could hear each other breathing.

Yamaguchi stood, all dressed up.

"I want (Name) to be happy with someone she cares about; who she loves truly. I don't want to force her to love me back. Isn't this  friendship?" He said calmly, standing by the door. Tsukishima finished tying his rubber shoes and stood. He nodded slightly.

"Then... What're you going to do about (Name)?"

"I-I'm... I'm going to talk to her... And apologize..."

"That's a good start... Please... Take care of her, okay?"

"I-I will... And I... Wanna apologize to you for...-"

"Tsukki, it's okay. I promise." He replied, smiling. Surprisingly, the blonde smiled back.

(A/N: More like "Tsukki, it's oKEI." //SCAMPERS AWAY//)

While the Karasuno volleyball team was practicing, a familiar face entered the gym. That person sat near the manager, and chatted with her a bit. The club was so focused on practicing, they barely noticed that person's presence. 

That is, until break.

"You need to work on your serves, Yamaguchi!" Tanaka cheerfully said, slapping the freckled boy's back. 

"Feel free to ask me for help!" Hinata and Nishinoya said in unison, where the two looked at each other, amazed at what just happened.

At the corner of the blonde's eye, he saw a small figure sitting on the bench. He approached it, and bent down with his water bottle in hand.

"How unusual of you to join us, shortie." He teased, a small smirk on his face.

"I just though it would be nice for a change... Overheard two little crows in the locker rooms and I think it's about time I stop being so hard on myself." You said smoothly, crossing your arms.

"Oh, heard everything, huh?"

"I kinda regretted it at first, but... After hearing about our friendship... I really should just trust my own instincts."

"Keh, what's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. Just go back."

"Nah, don't feel like going back there though."

"Tired already?"

"You could say that."

Yamaguchi looked at the two of you, Tsukishima now sitting next to you. He smiled at how happy you seemed.

(Name)... If you're happy, then I'm happy too. I'd rather be your best friend rather than see you hurt over something... I'll- ... We'll always be here.

His smile grew wider, and the other members questioned him. They looked at where he was looking, and gathered in a crowd to see what happens.

"You really meant all those things?" You asked, just to make sure.

"I swear I did."

"Swear it on your dinosaur figurine collection."

"What? Why you... Okay, fine, you shit." He chuckled.

You giggled.

You leaned closer to him and smiled.

A smile that looked so different from the smiles anyone has seen.

And after a moment,

The space in between the two of you closed in as you felt soft, warm lips on yours.

Everyone in the gym cheered, especially Yamaguchi.
