Tsundere - Tsukishima Kei X Reader

three

To any average eye, Y/N was the same. Effortless meaning she literally put absolutely no effort in her presentation other than barely holding her hair down so it didn't attack anyone because apparently that's rude.

But it's the little things that count.

The warm memories of her family away from family known as the Karasuno Volleyball Club had chipped away slightly from her ice cold heart of stone, allowing the light to shine through when she thought of them.

Sadly, Y/N knew that focusing too much and hard on the people she loved would only hurt her more later on.

So she did the only logical thing she thought of. Barricade her heart and let it open only slightly when needed.

Sighing Y/N pulled on her freshened uniform once again and she tied her hair up because brushing it was going to be a pain.

Little did she know that her cousin knew her better than she thought...

Chikara POV:

Seeing my favorite cousin of all time go back in to her shell again hurt me and I knew it would hurt the team if they spent the time with her closed off self.

I needed to get Y/N to trust again... Make even her worst enemies her fiercest supporters.

But... How? Knowing Y/N's stubborn self it shouldn't take long for her to start conflict, but I had to let her do it on her own.

If I interfered at once with any random person she could get alarmed or bored easily, both resulting in her receding further....

Well let's wait then, my next phase should be ready then.

3rd person POV:

Y/N met Chikara outside and she let out a half-hearted and tired smile which surprisingly was mirrored by her elder cousin.

She briefly wondered if something was wrong with him, as he managed his negative emotions quite well ever since his first year.

Y/N shrugged it off and continued lightly jog to the school with Chikara in silence. When they reached the entrance of the building Y/N faced Chikara and he took in her darkened eye circles and lazy look... It's as if she was a gender-bent Dabi. (Watch Boku no hero academia sometime soon it's amazing)

"I'll meet you after practice 'k?" Y/N's unwillingly sweet smile flashed at Chikara and his face reacted in a brighter smile to assure her protection against everything lied with him.

"Of course, baka"

The two parted ways, Chikara oblivious to the lone tear that had fallen from Y/N's beautiful eyes.

Y/N's head swam with those thoughts. Not THOSE thoughts you perv, like depressing thoughts of eternal loneliness! Got it? Ok let's move on.

Y/N remembered Chikara's reassuring smile and it chipped back at the hole in her heart. She knew she would start to cry even harder soon, how could anyone be so caring to her after she did nothing useful for them in return...

Wiping her eyes she walked into her class and drifted to her familiar seat, placing her head on her desk and because she was early, she let herself cry again.

Each sob came with a waterfall of tears as the pain in her heart clenched it even further, the ice hardening and then cracking further.

(Maybe slight trigger warning if you've had suicidal thoughts)

If only I could just erase myself from the world right now, then maybe the pain would be less, I wouldn't be a burden.

(Ok you good)

Y/N slowly stopped, silent tears still flowing from her now puffed lids. Her mind was still occupied so she didn't notice the pale blond boy with headphones blaring As if it's your last by Blackpink walk in and look at her with confusion.

She shifted, and the tall boy gasped at the sight of her messy face, her eyes swollen and red, the puffy lids darkened underneath, and the song kept beating through his headphones.

Not knowing what to do he strode up to her and lifted her head.

Baby 날 터질 것처럼 안아줘 (meaning, Baby hug me like it'll explode.

Y/N finally noticed him and she reached for her face to hide it from the boy that had been an absolute jerk to her just yesterday.

그만 생각해 뭐가 그리 어려워 (Meaning Stop thinking, it's so difficult)

He held her hand away and his golden eyes filled with concern. The music continued playing from the headphones he smiled at her and said, "Look, I don't want you to flood the school on just our second day, so please be okay? We haven't been formally introduced," he paused to look at the girl who already wiped her tears dry and had now started to press her lids to cool them, "My name is Tsukishima Kei."

거짓말처럼 키스해줘 내가 너에게 (Meaning Kiss me like a lie)

The girl only nodded in response, her behavior not too different from what he saw as her first impression yesterday. His pulse quickened unnoticeably to his mind at her control over her emotions.

마지막 사랑인 것처럼 (As if it was the last love)

She simply stated, "Ennoshita Y/N, and this never happened."

He let out a laugh and just waved if off as if to say sure and positioned himself in his seat one away from Y/N's, the song finished.

Once the two had rested into a nonchalant pose with their attention well away from each other, as if on cue the rest of the students trickled into the class, Yamaguchi-kun coming in later because as he put it, "My alarm was set up for the right time, I just never confirmed it and it never rang!"

Y/N put out a polite laugh and gave a "Don't mind!" In return.

The rest of the day was quiet, though, Y/N's mind was in another world.

Tsukishima... She thought. Just what are you?

When Y/N got up to leave for the gym she felt a presence behind her and she turned around curiously to see Yamaguchi-kun walking with the bespectacled Tsukishima-kun, both deep in conversation.

Staying where she was Y/N waited for the two boys and only once they reached Y/N they noticed her.

"Oh? E-Ennoshita-chan??" Yamaguchi-kun flushed once again. "Where are you headed? Do you have club going on?"

Y/N responded, explaining how she was going to the boy's volleyball gym to watch her cousin.

Out of the corner of her eye, she thought she saw a flicker of interest dance across Tsukishima-kun's golden eyes, but when she looked back at him she saw his regular stoic indifference.

"What a coincidence, we're heading over there as well!" Yamaguchi said in a genuine surprise. Which Tsukishima only rolled his eyes at because where else would Y/N be going.

Then, unexpectedly to both the boys and Y/N herself, Y/N spoke.

"Then how about we go together?"

A/N

Ok so.. now you guys are officially introduced! If any of you think that this is suspiciously fast for him to be a supportive person to strangers, oh that's gonna get good in a few chapters! I'm trying to make long chapters so yay! My schedule for writing is a lot more regular but messy so bear with me plz... Also wasn't this cute?
