BOYS BATHROOM
------------------------

You jumped when the bathroom door swung open with a bang. Shit, you thought, I can't get out of this one now. You stood frozen at the sink, feeling like a deer caught in the lights of an oncoming truck.

Because you weren't in the girls' bathroom like you thought a few moments ago. You realised after washing your hands that hey, the hand dryer isn't where it usually is... and that you had successfully walked into the boys' toilets. Like a total idiot.

And now someone else was about to walk in on your mistake.

You spun around in a panic. Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck-

The person who stormed in ended up being none other than Shirabu Kenjirou.
The two of you weren't close but you knew of each other. He was in a bunch of smart classes but you had Biology together. He also hung out with Kawanishi who was in almost all of your classes, so he was a little hard to ignore.

From most of the times that you've seen him, he usually donned a reserved expression, only showing annoyance when it came to his loud volleyball team mates. But even through your current embarrassment you could tell he looked frustrated.

He looked up at you and confusion glinted through the frown on his face.

"Y/N?"

You took a sharp intake of breath. "Shirabu."

"This is the boys' bathroom..."

You could feel the pink warming your ears and cheeks. For some reason your legs wouldn't move so you were stuck there fiddling with your shirt.

Your tongue tripped over your words. "Y-yeah, I know..."

It went silent as he stared at you, almost incredulously, and you mentally slapped yourself.

Great! He probably thinks I was in here to make out with some guy! You cursed your inability to communicate properly.

You decided to try play off your embarrassment by looking at him seriously for a moment, tilting your head.

"Are you okay?"

Shirabu gave you an instant glare.

"I'm fine," he told through a scowl.

You bit your tongue before speaking again.

"You don't seem fine. You seem a little tense..." When he just looked away and clenched both his fists and jaw you hesitantly continued.

"You're in a lot of the top classes, right? The work must be pretty hard. Are the teachers being harsh to you?"

He didn't answer so you assumed you were wrong.

"Is it something else?" You blinked up at him. He still wasn't looking at you. "Your team mates can be pretty rowdy, I've noticed. They get on your nerves a bit, huh? Have they been on your case a lot lately..?"

Nothing.

"Hey, Shirabu-san, you know you can talk to me." You placed your hand on his shoulder in a comforting manner. He looked pretty conflicted and you wanted to help him out. But the action made him tense and seemed to blow a fuse.
