It had been a full year since Ushijima asked you to be his on that fated day. Though it took as long as months for him to ease out of his stiffness, he still remained as stoic as ever with that ever present look of slight distaste on his features. Only few knew of the affection Ushijima shared with you; most of these moments were shared in public environments before his teammates (they were completely shocked that you even existed) who seemed to have noted Ushijima's preference of hugs.
'Are you free on Friday?'
And now was one of the most important moments you would share with your lover who stood underneath spotlights and prodding eyes: he promised a victory that you needed to see with your very eyes. You knew full well how physically intimidating Ushijima posed to those who faced him, to see how much of a force he was on the court both excited and scared you. Lucky or unlucky enough for you, you had front-seat access to the madness as you watched each member from their respective teams yell commands or encouragement to each other.
Needless to say, Shiratorizawa won by a long-shot.
You decided to stand on your feet to congratulate each member of Ushijima's team, but it seems that the person gripping your wrist had other ideas. Being forced to turn on your heel to face the mystery man, you find yourself unable to react as Ushijima (who you didn't notice) dove forward and pushed his lips onto yours. The world stops turning, the noise grows faint, and you feel your knees buckle as you throw your arms forward to wrap yourself around Ushijima. It was admittedly more of a gentle kiss than you expected, and you find yourself unable to face Ushijima as you focus your face downwards after Ushijima had pulled away.
"_____, I apologize for missing an important date."
You didn't notice Ushijima pull out a small item from his pocket as he reaches toward one of your hands and places the object in your palm - it was a cute sparrow squishy. You find yourself taken aback with shock.
"Wh-why?" Ushijima, who moved his arms around you to pull you into his chest, dips his head down to your ear: "Happy anniversary."
Oh.
BONUS:
"...Did you see that?"
"I suppose it's an abnormal sight?"
"I mean, Ushijima would be the last of us to get a girlfriend, but there she is."
"And I thought she didn't exist... She was just a myth right?"
"No... a legend..."
"Shut the hell up, Tendo."
