5/10: heart ache

**reader**

the rest of your first practice went by smoothly. most of the boys were actually impressed with your knowledge of volleyball.

"hey...(name) that's actually a really good tactic. have you been watching film?" tendou asks, and a blush spreads across your cheeks.

you may or may not have slipped in an hour or two of watching film because you couldn't sleep.

still, not an excuse to sleep on the job! what was i thinking?

"yeah, i have actually been watching some film." you say, and ushijima grunts, impressed with your dedication.

"well, (name)? what should we fix?" shirabu asks, sneaking a glance at semi, who completely ignores him.

"i think our blocking is good, we might need to work a little more on offense...." you trail off after ushijima sends you a glare.

"hey! ushijima i saw that! it's constructive criticism! heard of it before?" goshiki states. "an ace should be able to-"

"can someone shut him up?"

coach washijo looks at you and chuckles.

"well, if i don't have anymore objections, practice is over! good job today boys!" he blows the whistle and the boys begin to clean up.

you run over to where tendou is to help out.

"hey (name)! wanna help me take down this net?" he grins down at you. you attempt to put on a frown.

"only if you'll join me for tea." you say.

i'm going to confess to him... even if it ruins our friendship, we can still bounce back! a huge weight will be lifted if i just tell him. i've spent three years away from him, i can't stand to wait any longer.

normally, you wouldn't have this much confidence around boys. being around tendou is different though. it might be the history you have together, but you feel completely safe around him. he'd never hurt you or humiliate you.

tendou's smile gets even wider.

"any guy would be stupid to turn down tea time with you!"

**Tendou**

tea time. tea time with (name). holy shit. tea time. i don't even like tea that much.

but here i am.

walking the girl of my dreams to her apartment.

i've never been in her apartment before. oh my god. it's a literal room that smells like her all the time. (name)'s house? or heaven? what's the difference?

"tendou? is everything okay? you've been quiet." her beautiful eyes look up at me and my heart beats out of my chest.

it takes me a little bit to gain composure. this is only my second day with her and i can barely resist the urge to kiss her. what am i doing?

"yeah, i'm just thinking." i say vaguely. (name) furrows her eyebrows together.

"tendou i might've not been here for three years but i definitely remember your lying face." she states. i gulp.

i obviously can't tell her i wanna kiss her.

she'll run away.
