Your Eyes Said Otherwise [A Tsukishima Kei Fanfiction]

Chapter 23: Study Date

A/N: Am I the only one who thinks that the story gets boring when the protagonist gets what they want? Hope you're not bored reading this 😢

Anyways, I'm starting online classes soon so it's gonna be hard to update. I'll try updating every other day so that I can have time to make new chapters and study at the same time.

Mizuki's POV

While walking, I noticed that Kei was deep in thought. It looked like he was thinking of something negative again. Should I confront him about it or at least stop his train of thought?

"Hey Kei.", I called.

"What?", he asked, directing his attention to me now.

"Do you easily get jealous?", I asked teasingly.

"No.", he answered.

"Answer honestly.", I said. He rolled his eyes and put his arm on my shoulders, pulling me closer to him.

"A little.", he corrected himself. I chuckled and wrapped my left arm around his waist. "Don't even plan to make me jealous, I swear you won't like it.", he added.

"I didn't even think of that! I asked so I could be more careful around guys.", I exclaimed.

"Good.", he replied.

"Hmm, does this mean I don't get to hug my brothers and my best friends now?", I asked.

He stayed quiet for a while, thinking. I looked in his eyes and he seemed like he was picking some people I could hug now. But he also doesn't want to keep me away from the people I love.

"Just... lessen it.", he answered after a while.

"I think you're selective about it, so just say their names.", I smiled.

"Well, Bokuto-san is too clingy sometimes. Kuroo-san says he would date you if you grow up single. And you know how I feel about you and Akaashi-san. Kenma is fine, I guess, he's really special to you and I don't wanna keep you from anything that makes you happy. Kageyama... is fine too. Hinata too, he isn't interested in dating and stuff, he just instantly liked you since you're great at Volleyball. And Tadashi is fine too, I know he doesn't see you that way. Lev is okay, he also doesn't see you that way.", he answered.

Wow, he's really thinking of these things? But I'm glad he still respects me, and he's not overly possessive and paranoid.

"Also, Seijoh's ace, you seemed close, especially when he came to the finals. I saw you with him.", he added.

I changed my mind. He IS possessive.

"Iwa-san? Seriously? I don't even have his number.", I laughed.

"Just to be safe.", he said.

"Have you gotten jealous with any other guys besides Akaashi?", I asked.

"Kenma.", he answered. "He's really different. Your telepathic communication is really special. And when he gets out of his comfort zone just for you, it's a different type of jealousy that I feel."

I felt a pinch in my heart. Never, in a million years, would I think of Tsukishima admitting that he's jealous of someone.

Well, except for yesterday when he confessed.

I'm feeling uneasy, like I'm sensing something wrong with him. But I can't identify it, because it's entirely different from what he usually is.

"Kenma doesn't have a lot of friends, especially female friends. So when he met me, it's the first time he actually doesn't need to speak for him to be understood. I can read between the lines of what he's saying. To be honest, he knows me more than my brothers does. I understand why I'm special to him, he doesn't need to say it. But Kenma... he's like a really precious son to me. I don't see him as a lover, but intuition says I should protect that little pudding.", I explained.
