Udai Tenma - Two Little Giants

tenma wasn't feeling his best today. his team was having a practice match against the girl's team and one of them was like him.

She could jump high too, but she was slightly taller than the boy. tenma kept messing up and giving the other team free points. this frustrated him. he wanted to let out his frustration some way, but he can't. not where everyone was watching him.

the whistle blew.

coach ukai called for a time out. tenma clicked his tongue and followed his team to the sidelines with his head hung low, not bothering to make eye contact with anyone.

the boy grabbed his water bottle and took a sip of it. "udai-kun," ukai senior called for him. tenma knew what was coming. he was the best on the team and yet, was making a bunch of mistakes. what else could happen?

tenma slowly made his way over to coach ukai but didn't make eye contact. it was silence as ukai stared at the boy with a serious expression.

"udai," he started. "i'm switching you out." he said bluntly.

tenma eyes widen with disbelief. sure, he knew it was coming, but he didn't expect the coach to say it right away. actually, he was hoping he wouldn't say it at all.

the boy looked up at the coach as he still held the same expression with crossed arms. tenma furrowed his eyebrows and clenched his fists tightly with anger.

"take a break." coach ukai said slowly.

tenma clicked his tongue and stormed out to the nearest door. the girl that was like tenma saw what happened and told her team that she'll be right back and followed the boy.

she stood back and saw the angry boy banging his head on a locker and a bucket falling on his head in the process.

the girl didn't say anything and just watched, until tenma turned around and gave a death glare at whoever was behind him.

[y/n] didn't hesitate to give the same glare back.

this shocked tenma. he was expecting them to be afraid and go away. but this person, she's a little different.

"you're a hot mess today," she said. tenma didn't say anything and just stared at her with furrowed eyebrows.

after a moment, she continued. "you know, you don't have to live up to your tiny giant title if you can't handle the pressure." [y/n] closed her eyes and looked back up at the boy. "all eyes are on you, the spotlight, cameras, because you're the star. oh, the perfect little star." she chuckles.

tenma felt his angered boiling up even more. this women was starting to tick him off. "what're you trying to say?" he asked with an almost snapping tone.

[y/n] giggles. "all i'm saying is that it's okay to make mistakes." she put a hand on her hip with a neutral face, her attitude completely different. "especially when you aren't in your top form."

it was silent for a bit as tenma didn't know what to say. he was a bit confused to say the least. "uhm-" he started but was cut off.

"you don't have to put so much blame on yourself for every little mistake you make, especially in volleyball. volleyball is full of trial and error and that's why we have practice and practice matches to improve our skills. don't-"

"wait, wait, wait, wait, wait-  why are you lecturing me?" tenma waved his hands around to stop the girl from talking with a bewilderedment expression on his face.

the girl smiled and tenma felt his heart did a little flip.

"i'm trying to make you feel better so we can play a fair game so we can win without you giving us free points." [y/n] smiled sweetly and tenma instantly regret having this women talk to him. his annoyance from before came back as his eyebrow twitched.

the girl chuckles and walks back to the court right before the time out was over.

tenma's eyes followed the girl as she leaves with furrowed eyebrows. he swiftly turns to the lockers and punched it hard to let out the last bit of anger he had left, thanks to that woman.

he slowly made his way back to the gym with fists clench and head hang low again. he stood in the square with the other benched players and glared out at the game in progress.

tenma was perfectly calm, but he was still upset that he couldn't go back onto the court, especially since the boys lost in the end.

ever since that encounter with [y/n], he's been seeing her more and more. she would make him practice with her all the time and hang out sometimes during lunch. it wasn't until recently that tenma finally learned the girl's name.

the boy took a sip of his milk as he sat at a table with the girl. "so," he started and put the milk down. "what was your name?"

"WHATT??!" the girl stood so abruptly and loud that everyone was looking at them.

"we've been hanging out and you never knew my name?!" she exclaimed. before tenma could reply, she cut him off. "it's [l/n] [y/n]! [l. /. n] [y. /. n]!" she pointed to herself and yelled every syllable of her name.

"okay, okay..." tenma said as he continued eating.

the two became close friends not long after that. they never left each other's side and was always seen together. [y/n] would always tease tenma but the boy would always fight back which would amuse her.

today was the day tenma was going to do it and he wasn't going to back down. he felt nervous and shaky but excited.

right when classes were over, tenma zoomed out of his classroom and went to find [y/n]. she was probably on her way to volleyball practice as he should be too, but didn't care at the moment.

when he saw the girl right outside the gym doors, his eyes widen in happiness and called out her name.

[y/n] turned around and smiled when she saw tenma. before she could do anything, tenma was quick to do what he wanted from her.

"[y/n]-chan," he started quickly, out of breathe. "willyougooutwithme!"

the girl was taken aback at how sudden the confession was, but she sweetly smiled and walked up to the boy.

"i would love too, tenma-kun."

tenma never felt happier and gave the girl a tight hug, burying his face into her shoulder with a happy, flushed face. [y/n] hugging back.

the news of the two dating spread fast throughout the school and was known as the power couple for their similar abilities in volleyball :)
