For You

"Won't you look at me?"

In his eyes you were quite beautiful - a well-rounded figure that was not too slender, a satisfying height that would allow him to bend down to kiss you, and hands that looked as if they were the perfect size to fit into his. Each day he would make little mental notes on your habits and posture; sometimes he couldn't help but admit that he even found the behavior unsettling. Regardless, you were the pretty girl that would always pass by his home on the way to your destination and he hadn't bothered with attempting to make contact with you. Perhaps today would be a wonderful day for him to make his attempt, but you hadn't even bothered to look at the neighborhood around you. Ushijima could easily tell you were concentrated on making your way to your intended place, but there could be a chance that you would no longer pass him by on your regular commute.

"What are you looking at?" Tendo pulls him back to his reality where he remembered he was watching you out of his open apartment window. Summer came, rushing in hot weather and cool breezes Ushijima would always attempt to appreciate by his lonesome. Tendo, being Ushijima's self-proclaimed best friend, would always ruin his perfect silence but this time he lugged along some ice cream. According to the redhead, today was the perfect day to go out and enjoy with some summer treats.

"Right." Ushijima merely thought about you who simply walked through his head and never left. You kept on walking, almost as if that was your only known movement. There were a lot of what-if's going through the brunette's head, but he still was willing to take a chance.

"We're going to the beach!" Ushijima allowed Tendo to yank him out just once to where maybe, just maybe, he'd be able to have you finally look at him.
