Next To Me | Akaashi x Reader x Ushijima

XI Her Side

Tears were already falling out of your eyes as soon as you walked out of the restaurant. You're in mixed emotions; mainly frustration and exhaustion are what you were feeling at the moment. All I wanted was to be there as he wanted me there. you said to yourself.

"[Y/N]" you heard someone called your name but you didn't bother looking at who it was, you clearly knew it was Ushijima.

"[Y/N]" he called you again this time grabbing your wrist making you look at him.

His olive eyes widen when he saw the mess in your face. Did I made her cry? He asked himself. "I'm sorry." Was all he could say.

Wiping some of your tears, you acted tough. "Why are you here? Go back, you're the captain. You should be with the team celebrating." you said as you shook off his hand trying to let go of his grip but you couldn't. He was too strong, and you are extremely weak at the moment.

He was looking straight at you with pure remorse on his eyes.

"I'm sorry I just ruined the mood, it was better if I didn't come.-" You were cut down mid sentence as Ushijima hugged you tightly.

You cried harder. You didn't know you were this affected by his actions. "You idiot, I was hurt." You said while giving him lifeless punches, hoping it would ease up the frustration. "I came rushing here straight from Tokyo, and I was-."

"Shhh, you don't have to explain." He said.

In between sobs, you gave him a nod while he stroke the back of your head and you got buried at his figure. You felt your legs wobble in weakness and Ushijima immediately noticed it.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he looked at you without totally breaking the hug.

Shocked with how close your faces are, you found yourself a stuttering mess. "I, I'm fine." you answered.

"You're not." he firmly declared.

"I'm just, I'm tired." Why I'm I still lost for words?

"Go back to the restaurant Ushijima, I'll be fine." you said looking away at his gaze; his face still inches away from yours.

The next thing you knew was he grabbed Akaashi's jacket and tied it around your waist then carried you at his back after.

"Ushijima put me down!" you yelled in shock.

"I won't leave you alone [Y/N]." He said. "And your house is just a 20 minute walk away from here, I could carry you there."

This time the people around started looking at the two of you. You were slapping his back with all your might hoping it would make him put you down but he didn't looked like he was bothered by it.

"Ushijima please, this is embarrassing people are staring at us." you begged.

He stopped walking for a while and scanned the surroundings. Some of the people especially girls were giggling at the sight they were seeing but other than that, most of the people didn't care. "Don't look at them, look at me." He bluntly said.

Blood rushed out of your cheeks turning them into rose pink in color. I can't believe this guy actually said that with his usual tone and expression. You talked to yourself.

Tired with opposing with Ushijima, you finally gave up. Yeah, yeah. let's just not look at them. You convinced yourself. I won't be looking at his face though, gah! This is embarrassing, really.

As you passed the busy streets for quite some time the both of you were quiet. The atmosphere wasn't awkward it's just like the two of you decided not to talk yet.
