Blocking My Heart (Kei Tsukishima X Reader)

Alone Together

The morning passed by in a flash and suddenly the lunch bell rang. ___ leaned over to Tsukkishima and whispered into his ear. "Hey Tsukki, wanna ditch Yamaguchi and go eat lunch somewhere alone together?" "Yeah, sure. Why not?" Tsukkishima said blushing. "Oh my god Tsukki! You are so mean!" ___ said. "I was just kidding!" ___ laughed.

"Y-Yeah, well so was I.." Tsukkishima muttered. "Tsukki, you're such a bad liar, you know that? But if you're serious.. I mean we totally could, but we gotta leave right now!" ___ threw her backpack onto her shoulder and grabbed his hand, pulling him out of his seat. She took off running as Tsukkishima struggled to put his bag over his shoulder as he stumbled along behind her.

"Hey! Slow down would you?!" He yelled as she dragged him down the halls. "No time! Yamaguchi is fast! If he spots us we're screwed!" Just then they heard a voice call out behind them. "Hey Tsukki! ___! Slow down would you!" "Shit! We've been spotted! Quick!" ___ pulled Tsukkishima around the corner and into a janitor's closet. She panted. She was pressed close against Tsukkishima's chest in the cramped space. "What are you-" "Shh!" ___ said. "Tsukki! ___! Where'd you guys go?!" They heard Yamaguchi just outside the door. "Tsukki? ___?" They heard his footsteps pass.

___ pushed against Tsukkishima's chest. Tsukkishima blushed. "What are you doing?" He asked. "I'm pushing the door open! what else would I be doing?! But it won't open for some reason.." ___ felt around on Tsukkishima's chest. "I can't find the door handle!" ___ said. Tsukkishima cleared his throat. "That's because you're not pressing on the door." He said shyly. "Then what am I pressing on?! Oh my god!" ___ pulled her hands away quickly, "I am so sorry! It's just.. you're so solid! I thought you were the door!" She blushed intensely before reaching around Tsukkishima, finding the door handle.

"Okay, found it!" ___ said. She twisted the door handle and peeked out. "Okay, I think we lost him." She said, opening the door wider before stepping out. "That was close!" She said sighing. "Was it really necessary to pull me into a closet?" Tsukkishima asked blushing. "What else was I supposed to do?! He would have caught us!" "We could have just eaten lunch with him," Tsukkishima said looking in the direction that Yamaguchi must have went. "Yeah, but you said you wanted to eat lunch alone together! If he would've caught us there is no way that would've happened! I feel kinda bad now though.." ___ said sighing.

"Why's that?" Tsukkishima asked. "Well.. Now he's probably going to eat lunch all alone.." ___ said frowning. "He could always eat with Hinata," Tsukkishima said. "Yeah, true.. Anyways we should get going." She said as she began to walk. Tsukkishima fell in step beside her.

"So where are we planning on eating?" Tsukkishima asked. "Well, considering we're kind of hiding from Yamaguchi, the gym steps is probably off limits.. and the classroom is too obvious, so how about somewhere unexpected?" "Like where?" Tsukkishima asked. "Well there's a park near the school.. Why not there? It's a relatively nice day," ___ said. "Works for me." Tsukkishima said shrugging.

They continued to walk until they reached the park and ___ took a seat on a nearby bench, Tsukkishima taking a seat next to her. "Did you remember your lunch today?" Tsukkishima asked pulling out his lunchbox. "Yeah actually! I had to run back inside to grab it though to be honest, I forgot it on the counter.. but here it is!" ___ said patting her bag. She then pulled out a bento box and opened it up. 

"Ooh! My favourite! Thank you dad!" "Let me guess.. It's meat." Tsukkishima said with a smirk. "How did you know?!" ___ said giving him a sideways glance and closing the lid partway. "You always loved meat." Tsukkishima replied. "Every time I came over for dinner, it was some sort of meat." "What can I say? I'm totally a carnivore!" ___ said laughing as she grabbed her chopsticks. Tsukkishima grabbed his as ___ popped a bite into her mouth.

"Mmm! So good! Dad is freaking awesome with a grill!" ___ cheered. "He always was," Tsukkishima mused. "He was always out back grilling when we were kids." "I think he just liked the fact that a grill has fire to be honest." ___ said. "He was always lighting candles and stuff just to play with the fire." "Speaking of, how is your dad?" Tsukkishima asked. "He's good. He got a better job offer in Japan so that's why we moved back. He said that this will be our last time moving, so I'll hold him to that. I really don't miss flipping back and forth from America to Japan."

"So where do you like living better? America or Japan?" Tsukkishima asked taking a bite of his lunch. "Well, America was always fun, but I'll have to go with Japan, hands down." She said taking another bite of her meat. "Why's that?" Tsukkishima asked, chewing his food. "Because you're here silly!" She said smiling. "Because of me?" Tsukkishima asked blushing. "Yes, because of you!" "But why?" Tsukkishima asked looking down.

"Because you're my best friend.. and I.. I love you." ___ said embarrassed. "You.. love me?" Tsukkishima asked, his blush now reaching his ears. "Oh my god! Did I say that out loud?! I.. umm.. I mean, uhh.. We're best friends! And uhh.. that means we love each other right?! That's totally how it works! You know.. cause friendship and stuff! Yeah, that's totally it!" ___ explained frantically, her face turning crimson. "Oh.." Tsukkishima said. "That's what you meant.." He blushed. "In that case, I love you too.." he muttered.

___ closed her lunchbox and placed it into her bag before hugging Tsukkishima. "I think lunch will be over soon," she said as she squeezed him. "This was fun!" ___ said. "We should spend time alone together more often!" "I think I'd like that." Tsukkishima replied as he squeezed her back. ___ let go of Tsukkishima and slowly pulled back.

"Should we start heading back?" She asked. "Probably." Tsukkishima said as he stood up, placing his lunchbox into his bag. "Shall we?" He asked. "We shall." ___ said standing up. They began walking. "I hope Yamaguchi isn't mad at us for ditching him.." ___ said dejectedly. "It's Yamaguchi we're talking about here. When has he ever gotten mad?" "True.." ___ said sighing. "I still feel bad though." "He'll get over it." Tsukkishima said. "How do we explain where we were though?" 

"That is a really good question!" ___ said. "You better start fabricating a story!" "That's your speciality." Tsukkishima said sighing. "I don't have the imagination you have." "True.." ___ said sighing. "You'd probably say something really stupid anyways.." "I would not!" Tsukkishima said defensively. "I'd come up with something quite plausible!" "Good," ___ said smirking. "Then you'll have no problem doing that when we get back." "Tsk.." Tsukkishima said. "Just you wait.."
