It's a bright Saturday morning. You walk  down the street in the direction of a middle blocker's home with a box in your hands and a smile on your face. You approach the front door and before you ring the doorbell, an all too familiar older brother answers with a smile.

"Akiteru-kun!! It's so great to see you?" You say in surprise.

"I saw you walking here so I decided to open the door right away. I'm assuming you're here for my brother. He's upstairs. Oooh whats that you've got in your hands." Akiteru motions at the box in your hands.

"Oh... uh this is a gift for Tsukishima... I kind of promised him I would make it for him." You say nervously.

"Wow... I'm glad my little brother has a friend like you. His only other friend is Yamaguchi and—"

"Uh.. We aren't friends exactly... Just classmates and club members..." You say trailing off.

"Oi Shortie what are you doing here?" Tsukishima says at the top of the stairs.

"Hello Beanstalk. I came here to drop you off the pastry I told you I'd bake for you while we had detention." You say straightforward.

"On second thought I dont want it... You could try to poison me."

"Shut up you dickhead!" You stick out your tongue.

"Wow you guys get along great" Akiteru says.

"No we do not" You and Tsukishima say in unison.

You and Tsukishima sit on his back porch while you take out the box. "Here." You hold out the pastry.

"Did you bake it from scratch?" The middle blocker says opening the box to look inside.

"It's my own special recipe." You smile proudly as Tsukishima examines the shortcake.

"Then it probably tastes like shit." Tsukishima smirks.

"GASSSsP"

"Why did you say gasp instead of actually gasping?"

"I'm so offended Beanstalk I worked hard on baking this for you. Could you at least take a bite before you assume the taste of what could be the greatest strawberry shortcake you could ask for?"

"Yeah right. I'll try it... not because of you... because I'm hungry"

"Mhm. Okay I could care less if its about me"

Tsukishima grabs a spoon and takes a bite of the delicacy you spent hours making just for him. "So??...." You say, quite curious.

"It's....." he pauses for dramatic effect.

"It's what??" You urge for an answer. 'He'll probably insult it and rub it in my face....'

"It's amazing..." He looks down at the strawberry shortcake with a warm smile. "Thanks (Name)..."

He looks up at you as you stare into his golden eyes. You blush slightly and smile. "No problem Beanstalk. I promised to make it for you and here you are."

"You want some?"

"...Actually sure... I never tried any for myself I spent so much time thinking wether you'd like it or not."

"Well youre lucky then. I was expecting it to be horrible."

"I dont know if I should be offended or not." You say a little taken back.

"Shut up and try some" Tsukishima takes some cake onto his spoon and holds it out for you to eat. You move in and take a bite and smile. 'Wait... hes feeding me' you realize.
