A funny little thing called love ( Tsukkiyama ) [slow updates]

Part 5: The Close Call (a little too close)

Hey guys I'm sorry for not updating in awhile. I have had a lot going on, and have been having motivational issues as per-usual. I hope y'all are still here. 😅 This is dedicated to _LMcLF_ cause of her support! ^-^

/Yamaguchi's p.o.v./

I let out a deep breath after tryouts were finally over, and hung my head as I sat on the edge of the bleachers. I wasn't perfect in all areas, but I tried my best, and honestly I could have done a lot worse... For some reason Tsuki's words kept repeating in my head.

"You'll be fine."

Such a simple phrase and yet it had given me so much motivation... Why?

"Hey." Someone gently placed a hand on my shoulder. "You did really good today."

"Uh... Th-thank you Suga-Senpai!" I replied shooting up to give him a small bow.

He just chuckled slightly and flashed me a warm smile before walking off with the rest of the second and third years.

I felt a small smile tug at my lips as well, and then picked up my things and went into the locker room to shower, since everyone was practically done already.

After I was finished cleaning up and changing I decided it was finally time to head home. I was walking out of the gymnasium when the sound of someone's voice nearly made me jump out of my skin.

"Finally you're done." Tsuki said from the wall he was leaning against. His expression was one of great annoyance

"Jeez." I let out a breath and grabbed my heart. My expression then flattened. "And if you're that annoyed why did you wait for me?"

"Your mom invited me over for dinner again. Apparently our parents think it's a good idea for us to spend a little time with each other. Just to make sure we don't hate each other's guts and end up ripping each other apart later in life I guess." He explained. "So I figured, why not just go home with you?"

"Oh..." I replied. "Well okay then let's go." I started walking out of school grounds and towards the subway, him following along my side.

"Why didn't you just have a driver take you home? You have one right?" He asked causally, but seemed a little bored.

"I didn't want one." I replied truthfully. "I'm not to keen on the big mansion and the full group of staff waiting on my every will. Besides I need a little bit of everyday middle class life to remind me where I came from, don't you agree?"

"Hm..." He looked at me quizzically, but then went back to normal looking ahead of us. "Sure I guess."

There was another short silence. By that time we had arrived at the subway and had to jog a bit to catch the next train just in time. The doors closed behind us and I walked into the middle grabbing hold of one of the handles hanging from the ceiling, seeing as no seats were available. They usually aren't at this time. Tsuki grabbed the one next to me and with a slight jolt the train departed from that stop and continued on its way.

"I haven't ridden one of these since I was a child." He stated looking around at the scenery that was far too familiar for me.

"Really?" I asked in slight disbelief. I've taken the subway to and from school everyday since I started junior high."

"Do you enjoy it?" He asked his face curling into one of disgust as an older lady brushed up on him to try to get to another spot.
