"Y/N, you're so cute!" You look up in shock, your cheeks turning the same color as cherries. You look at the starry freckled face boy in front of you. Yamaguchi Tadashi. You two were at a local cafe for a study session.
You two had met on the first day of school when you both were first years. The two of you were seatmates in class. It is now the second year for you both. You two clicked immediately. You were rather outgoing and bubbly, it helped to balance Yamaguchi's shyness. You often dragged him to local events/festivals to help get him out of his shell. You loved how attentive and caring he was, yet he was also fierce and reliable. He was the one to ground and comfort you. He allowed you to feel vulnerable.
You often went to his volleyball games when they were at Karasuno to cheer him on. Watching him serve was your favorite thing to do. You always noted how much he has improved since his first year. He looked so focused, it always made your heart flutter. It was a good look on him.
He's made a considerable amount of new friends other than Tsukishima and his team since you two met. You introduced him to your own friend circle, and they absolutely adored him. You're proud of him, but he still tends to be a bit shy. That's why it caught you completely off guard when he blurted that out!
He looked down and quickly sipped his drink. It was iced matcha green tea. You wondered if he liked it due to it complimenting his dark green hair. You had always thought that Yamaguchi was cute as well, you were always studying his freckles. He always had to laugh and snap you out of your trance. Would it be a lie to say that you didn't have a tiny crush on him? He could never know that, though!
"W-What?" You finally managed to ask. The tips of his ears were burning red.
"I-I... I just think you look cute when you're focused. Sorry if that's weird!" He waves his hands in front of him, signaling he meant no harm. You giggle at this.
"Sorry Yama, it's just been a while since somebody complimented me out of the blue like this. When did you become so forward?" You stop studying and put all your attention to the boy sitting in front of you. He makes eye contact with you for a second but then shies away once again. You assume that the compliment earlier took a lot of confidence, so now he's run out of it. You laugh internally at this thought, he really runs on a battery!
"I don't know, it just kind of came out of nowhere. I mean it though," he said as he smiled up at you. For once, you were the shy one! How could this have happened? He gained back his confidence way too quickly.
"Well if we're just throwing out compliments today, I really love your freckles, sometimes I want to trace them," you responded. Now was the perfect time to drop a compliment bomb on him too! He immediately touched his face and flushed pink once again. You couldn't help but giggle. Yamaguchi was so cute when his face turned pink! He eventually joined in with laughter.
The two of you continued to study together. You both ordered another round of beverages. The sun began to set, it became late so fast! You realize what time it is and rush to get your stuff together, your parents will be upset with you for being late. Yamaguchi catches on and helps you put away your stuff.
"I'm so sorry Yama, I'll make it up to you! I'll buy you some snacks tomorrow."
"It's alright Y/N, I'm glad I got to spend the afternoon with you. I think I study better with you." You couldn't help but pause at that comment. What is up with him being so genuine? Yeah, he was always an honest person, but not in this sense. It seems he had become slightly more comfortable in saying things like this.
"Here, let me walk you home. It's starting to get dark out," he offered. You were kind of perplexed, the sun was still setting, but you didn't oppose the idea of spending more time with him.
