Blocking Your Love (Tsukishima Kei X Reader)

Chapter 43

You wake up to your phone ringing on a Thursday during your Christmas break. It was past 9am, and you answered your phone, not bothering to look at who the caller was.

"Nyello. Who dis." You say groggily, lying on your side.

"Good morning, (Name)-san! It's me, Yachi! I-I didn't wake you up, did I?" She asks. You sit up and rub your eyes.

"No no, I've been up... For hours..." You lie, yawning.

"Oh! Well, I've been meaning to ask you something."

Putting your phone on your shoulder and pressing it with your cheek to hold it, you stretch your arms.

"What's up?"

"Y-you see..." She says shyly. "I... I like someone..."

You scream internally, fumbling to hold your phone in both hands.

"Who's the guy?" You say excitedly, pretending not to know who she liked, even though it was none other than Yamaguchi Tadashi, your best friend.

You pretended you never noticed her stare at your freckled friend, then blush as she looks away.

You pretended not to notice how shy she gets when she starts a conversation with him.

And most of all,

You pretended not to notice how her eyes light up when Yamaguchi talks to her first, excitement sparkling in them when they talk about something they both like.

But the freckled boy, on the other hand,

Was oblivious.

"I-it's... Yamaguchi-kun... Please don't tell him!" She says in a panicked voice.

"M-my lips are sealed! Oh my god, Yachi! What's that favor you were asking, hm?"

"E-eh... Well, you see..." She starts. You listen closely and get off your bed.

"I want to confess to Yamaguchi-kun... And I kind of want to spend Christmas Eve with him, and I think it's an opportunity to tell him... How I feel..."

She sounds nervous, but sincere. It made you smile.

"B-but I don't think I can go alone! J-just me and h-him... I might mess up! So... D-do you and Tsukishima-kun have any plans on spending Christmas Eve together?"

With that question, you think. As far as you know, the megane hasn't talked to you about anything on that date.

"(Name)-san... I-I'd like to go on a double date!"

Oh my GODDD!

"That's... A great idea! But I... Don't know. I'm not sure! But I'll ask him. Until then, I'll keep you posted, 'kay? If we have plans, I'll convince him."

"T-thank you so much, (Name)-san! I owe you!"

"You might have a chance with Yamaguchi, y'know! You two look so cute together."

"E-EH?! I-I... Um..."

"I'm serious, Yachi. I'm so happy for you!"

She shyly thanks you, and you both say your goodbyes. You sigh as you hang up.
