Eventually Emai gets desperate so she flips herself over the counter and pounces on top of me. I shriek as her small body collides with mine. I groan as I hit the floor.
"Why are you like this?" I laugh. She straddles me with her legs on either side of my waist. She pinches my cheeks.
"Say you love meee!" She says in a mockingly deep voice.
"I love you, please let me take a shower now." I sigh, sitting up. She stands up and pulls me to my feet. She collapses on her brothers lap.
"Brother, say you love me!" She starts to torture him, so I take my chance and dart into the bathroom with my clothes.
Emai POV
"Is that sort of thing normal between you two?" Tobio asks me.
"Yep. Kei doesn't show it but he secretly loves the affection." I respond, sitting next to my brother. I raise an eyebrow.
"Does it bother you?" I ask. Tobio glares at me.
"Yes. It's weird seeing him act all cold to me then act all mushy towards you." He snarls. I laugh. Akiteru smiles.
"I think it's rather refreshing. Kei is normally very antisocial except for yami, so when he brought a girl home for the first time, and acted completely soft and caring towards her...well mom dropped a plate out of excitement." Akiteru laughs.
"Oh I think it's wonderful that you two are together. I've never seen kei so happy. You two are very much alike you know." His mother giggles.
"Oh I know. He's just better in his abilities to socialize, even if it is him snapping or lashing out. I just completely shut down." I shrink down as I fiddle with the bracelet on my wrist. "True enough." She gently ruffles my hair.
Kei walks down the stairs, clothed and fully showered.
"Yami, your turn. Just go in my room and grab whatever." He sighs, plopping down next to me. He leans his head on my shoulder, so I press me cheek to the top of his head. Yami does as kei says and heads to Kei's room to grab some clothes.
Kei pov.
(3 months later)
I follow Emai down to her skating rink. Her small hand is laced with my larger one, swinging our arms back and forth as we walk. As we step into the building we find the volleyball team lacing up their skates. Emai freezes up, but I push her forward.
"Pretend they aren't here." I whisper. She sits down and quickly ties her laces. I tie my own and follow her onto the ice. She seems stiff when she skates, not at ease as she usually is. I feel tobio's stare, knowing he wants to see the skating she hold so dearly. With a sigh, I let myself lose balance. I panicked as I fall letting down an accidental squeak.
"Ow my ass." I groan as I pick myself up. Emai busts out laughing.
"Kei, you squeaked." She giggles as she lets me use her hands as balance. I roll my eyes.
"Just practice your routine dumbass."
"Alright alright." She snorts. She skates off a little ways and starts the dance. I skate over to the team.
"Why are you guys here?" I ask.
"I suggested they work on balance and footwork and they choose this over soccer." Daichi explains. I sigh and lean against the wall, watching Emai skate. She comes to the end of the routine, where the hard dances take place. She stoops low, then springs upward, spinning into a triple axel kick. The team gasps as she lands it.
She finishes the song and comes to a stop, throwing her arm up, signaling that she's done.
I smile softly.
"That was amazing! You got it perfect this time." I call out, smiling softly. She does the routine over and over, practicing.
Soon she skates over to my side, leaning against me. Hinata bounces up to us.
"Whoa how'd you do that?!" He asks. Emai presses closer, uncomfortable at the gingers energy. I slam my fist down on the top of his head, punching him.
"Practice, stupid. Which is what you should be doing right now." I snap.
"What about you? Why aren't you practicing?" Hinata complains.
"Because Tsukishima is responsible and we know we can rely on him to practice on his own time without us having to tell him." Daichi yells, and sugamama shoots me a thumbs up, agreeing.
"Get over there." I gesture to the rink, and Hinata sighs, stumbling away.
"Sorry." Emai whispers.
"There is nothing to be sorry about. Neither of us can't handle people like him. The only difference is that you're kind, and I am not." I chuckle.
"That's not true, you are very kind." Emai pouts, tugging at my shirt.
"Ok, correction, I'm an asshole when it comes to stupid idiots that annoy me. Better?" I raise and eyebrow, the corners of my lips tugging into an amused smile.
"Much." She sighs happily. For a few moments of silence, we watch my teammates wobble around, trying to learn how to skate. My mind wanders through the past year with Emai, remembering how much we've been through. (Yes it has been a year throughout the story, I'm just horrible at maintaining a storyline and a plot.)
"Hey, I love you." I murmur, gently ruffling her hair.
She smiles up at me.
"I love you too." She presses her ear to my chest, as if listening to my heart.Guys I'm so sorry, I can't even remember why I started this fic in the first place. I have no storyline, no plot, and no ideas. If I can't think of anything within the next 2 months, I'm going to discontinue this story.
I can't even remember what exactly inspired this story (I usually save all my inspiration/ideas on my phone, whether it's a tiktok or an insta edit, or even something from my daily life, I will write it down and save it somewhere, but I guess I had forgotten to when I started this.)
