Your Eyes Said Otherwise [A Tsukishima Kei Fanfiction]

Chapter 2: Shortcakes and Coffee

Mizuki's POV

Our 3-set game was finished and Coach Keishin treated us dinner. We won miraculously so the other team needed to buy us dessert. Tsukishima was forced to treat me because he was forced by the guys. I'm glad that he will so I'm not complaining. After eating dinner, we went for dessert. I pulled Tsukishima along with me and looked at the slice of cakes and packs of cookies. My eyes lit up in excitement.

"Everything looks so good!", I said as I kneeled down to scan the desserts.

"Just pick one.", he said, irritated.

"Aww, come on Tsukki. Hinata pulled you in this so you have to commit.", I said, looking up at him. It seemed like a giant loomed over me. "How are you so tall, I look like a troll here.", I added before looking at the desserts again. He kneeled behind me and looked at the desserts as well.

"Oi, pick up the pace, we want dessert too!", Tanaka said impatiently.

Then I felt weight around me, I looked back and noticed that Tsukki trapped me between the glass and him.

He's too close...

He looks better up close. His hazel orbs stared straight at my deep amethyst ones. His face blushed the lightest shade of pink as he looked at me.

His face looked surprised so I looked up and saw the other guys laughing and doing smooching faces. It was their fault. He smoothly let go of me and stood up, looking away.

"Thanks, Tanaka-kun.", I smiled at him.

"Just choose a dessert.", Tsukki said.

"Hmm, red velvet cake? No, matcha tiramisu! Wait no, hmm, strawberry shortcake!", I said.

"Two strawberry shortcakes please.", he said. I looked at him and it seemed like he loves strawberry shortcake as well.

I walked to a table with him and waited for our strawberry shortcake.

"Didn't know you liked it too.", I started, pertaining to the dessert.

"I don't like it.", he said.

"You love it.", I finished his sentence.

He looked away and seemed like he was agreeing to what I said. I smiled and looked outside the window. The moment I received Hinata's demon quick attack replayed in my head. I smiled and chuckled, looking down.

"Why are you smiling to yourself like an idiot that you are?", Tsukishima looked at me strangely.

"I received that quick attack, how can I not smile? And you, engaging in small talks smoothly is such a nice view.", I smiled at his effort to talk to me.

"I just thought you looked crazy so I spoke.", he said in his defense. I raised an eyebrow at him, knowing what he really meant.

"Really?", I said.

"There's no point lying to you, huh?", he asked, quite irritated.

"Aww, you are so cute!", I giggled and smirked evilly at my idea. "You know... I could teach you how to juke a behaviorist."

He looked at me, seemed interested yet uninterested.

"You're a try hard aren't you?", he replied instead.

"I sure am!", I smiled.

"t...c..m...", he mumbled but I can't quite hear it.

"What was that?", I asked.

"T-teach me.", he whispered but I heard it. I decided to tease him and smirk.

"Sorry, I can't hear you.", I said.
