You and Tsukishima finally started dating and you feel more ecstatic than ever. You've always wanted to be by his side but it seemed to be impossible.

You grabbed a cheesecake bite from your fridge and placed it on your container before you left. You planned to share it with Kei and you fantasized about your boyfriend again. You wore your shoes, locked your door and walked to school.

"Hey, you're d-dating Tsukishima Kei? That mean boy from the other class?" one of your classmates asked you as you took a seat. He wasn't really someone you're close to but you occassionally have some smal talk with him.

"Uh? So what? And how did you know that?" you asked him while you settled your belongings, trying to dodge the question.

It wasn't unusual for you to hear anyone comment about Tsukki's sharp tongue but at the same time, you felt bad for him since everyone just sees him that way. Not that he cares though.

"I mean, there are other guys out there who... you know, those who could treat you nicely," he answered.

"Not interested," you answer. You were getting pissed and you just wanted to leave.

"I heard there was this guy who likes you but was to-"

"What part of 'not interested' do you not understand?" you asked him with a tone of anger. You glared at him as he tried to calm you down.

"Fine. Just make sure to have your eyes on the popular chick on his class," he told you before he went back to his proper seat.

"Popular girl on his class?" you mumble.

Timeskip

Lunchtime - you spent a significant amount of time just mopping on the fact that you had an unsatisfactory result on one of your subjects. People regard you as a smart person and you couldn't get over the results just now. You set aside your lunch plans and you decide to review for your upcoming tests. There's no way you could let yourself have this kind of marks.

You walked towards the tables near the library. It was a quiet area where students can work on their projects or study and eat, as long as you leave the table neat, of course. You grabbed your pencil, notebooks and other stationary with pastry designs. You suddenly remember Tsukki but you were sure that he'd understand you and your concern with grades.

You began to practice solving sample problems from your previous worksheets when you hear someone knock and slide the door. You ignored the sounds of the door and continued.

"You weren't replying so I thought you were busy. I mean, it's fine but I couldn't spot you in the canteen either," a familiar stoic voice reached your ears.

You looked at the tall approaching figure and stared.

"Oh, well, don't mind me. I just figured that you might be here and bought you lunch," he continued.

"Kei, you bought that?" you glanced at the small box he had on his hand and the paper bag on the other.

"Yeah. Just some pie slice and fish fillet with rice," he told you before he sat on the seat next to you. He places the food on your table and smiled.

"Kei, you're really sweet. Thank you," you tell him and smile. Your cheeks were flushed with a light shade of red.

"You're welcome. Now continue on your worksheet. There's actually a shortcut on that if you're going to use a calculator. It's allowed anyway, right?"

"Yeah, but I'm not familiar to this new model. I recently just bought it," you respond.

Kei held your pencil case and picked up a pen. He began writing on the bottom part of your paper and you stared.

"Here, try these instructions with the given in those questions," he tells you.

You did try the steps he wrote down and it worked properly.

Kei rested his head on his arm on the table, "You know the exams require a solution so just use that to check your answers." He closed his eyes before you got to thank him.

You glanced at the peaceful face beside you. You were glad you found a person like him and you were lucky. You felt like the luckiest person in the world. It was as if the stars aligned just for you. You were lucky the person you love loves you back.

You open the paper bag and saw the fish fillet he bought for you. You grabbed the utensils that came with it and started eating while you worked on your worksheet. After that, you opened the small box for dessert.

"Hey, Tsukki. Keeei," you nudged him ten minutes before lunch ends.

He wouldn't wake up.

"Darling~" you whisper.

"What," he responds with an annoyed tone.

"It's almost time for your classes," you tell him.

"Five more minutes," he says.

"No, let's go now."

"Call me that again," he mumbled though you couldn't hear it well.

"What?"

"Nothing. Prepare your stuff and let's go back," he instructed as he began to sit properly and stretch.

"O-okay," you say.

"Oh yeah, is someone in your class, uh, popular? Like, a popular girl?" you questioned him as got up from your seat.

"Yeah," he said.

You began to walk on the hallways and continued the conversation, "Anything you want to tell me about her?"

"Not much. Really," he answered.

"Okay, then," you said and smiled.

"You okay with that short answer?" he wondered.

"There's a thing called trust, Tsukki."

"Also, did you call me 'darling' a while ago?" he asks while you get out from your seat.

"Huh?"

"Nevermind. That name is quite embrassing to be said in public. Don't you think?"

"I guess so."

"Not that I hate it when you're sweet though," he commented in a softer voice.
