Y/n's Pov

 After saying those words at him he began mumbling how stupid I am and telling me again and again that he was just joking, I mean yes of course we're joking like unless what he meant was true. Oh the flustered face he have right now while mumbling, he's looking cute. Wait what? Did I just think he's cute? The fuck, cute my ass. I mean he is tho but he's attitude is trash but Oikawa is more trash than him. Speaking of Oikawa, we haven't really talked that much. Our gc together with Iwa chan is now silent. Although we talk sometimes, I really miss them. They're the only friends I have that really understands me. They're like the brothers I never had. I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulders making me come back to reality.

"Hey, you're alright?" Tsukishima asked with a concerning tone.

"Oh um yes, I'm fine" I stated answering him.

"You sure? You seem kinda spaced out a while ago." He asked still filled with concern.

I looked at him and saw him with a concerned gaze on me. I looked away probably cause we made eye contact which is kinda unusual for me.

"What's the sudden change on the attitude?" I asked him. Man, he confuses me. He probably is bipolar on some sort.

"Even though I seem cocky or mean that doesn't mean I'm not nice." he stated with a monotone voice. I mean he does have a point tho. We are kinda similar I guess.

"Well it throws me off seeing you nice to me all of a sudden when you are fucking mean to me yesterday." I said slightly glaring at him. As I looked into his eyes, I swear I saw a hint of hurt just for a split second before replacing it with a cold one.

"Tsk, I'm being nice here maybe I should just continue being an asshole to you." he stated with a hint of tease in his voice. 

 The audacity of this bitch.

"That's not what I meant. It just confuses me, that's all" I said softly. I thought maybe he had a reason why he's like that. Why his attitude is like that towards people.

"Maybe I'm being to harsh on you, I didn't really meant to snap on you during the time on the cafeteria." he sounds way too fucking nice.

"You? Apologizing?" I said while chuckling at him

"What if I wanted to start over? I probably made a bad first impression on you." 

"Well yeah you probably already did a bad first impression on me Mr. Salty french fries" I teased.

"Mr. Salty french fries?" he asked confusingly.

"Well you're tall and basically looks like a french fries with the color of your hair matching the nickname plus that salty attitude of yours." I said while grinning.

"Oh shut up Iron Ingot" he said while glaring at me. Wait, Iron Ingot?

"What the fuck do you mean with the iron ingot?" I said annoyingly.

"Aren't we making nicknames for each other now? You as Iron Ingot cause your hair is similar to the iron ingot from the game I'm playing" he said teasingly. This guy.

"Hmm, seems fair." 

 The sudden silence filled the air. It's not an awkward silence type of shit or something. The atmosphere really is comforting to me. No noise just the sound of the rustling of the leaves due to the breeze coming from the wind. Not gonna lie, I appreciated his presence.

"Hey umm, can we start over?" the sudden question made me look at him.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean like start over and maybe want to become friends?" he seems genuine right now. He doesn't sound suspicious or anything right now which made me trust him a little bit and with that I gave him an answer.

 While silence filled the air, I began rethinking my decisions. I may have become an asshole to him and I kind of felt bad yesterday. The more I looked at him, the more I became drawn at him. A while ago he seemed troubled or something that's why I decided to ask him if everything's alright. I don't really know why I'm being like this all of a sudden. I wanted to comfort him and tell him that everything's alright. He had the same troubled face as yesterday during practice. I never failed to notice the amount of fear and sadness in his eyes. Since when did I care about him? I don't even like him but something tells me that he's not like the others. He's more than that. I sensed the same thing with Yam that made me trust him. He doesn't really intimidates me to be honest. I thought that maybe starting over and maybe build a friendship with him made these sudden thoughts and urges to be close with him became the solution.

"Hey umm, can we start over?" I asked suddenly making him look at me. Those eyes, those pretty eyes. He looked kind of familiar tho, now that we're facing each other as I study his features.

"What do you mean?" he asked, confusion written on his face.

"I mean like start over and maybe want to become friends?"  I said convincingly. I really want to be closer to him for some reason. I felt like something is going to happen and I wanted to protect him at all costs. I sound cheesy as of the moment but you ever had those gut feelings? Yeah, that's what I'm feeling now.

 With a simple smile and a nod made me feel happy that he accepted my request of starting over.

 Kei bids me goodbye as he left and heads back to where he needed to go back to his home. He's not really a bad guy now that we have started over. He's a really nice guy to be honest and I'm glad I've made another friend. With the first name basis, he lets me call him Kei whenever we're alone but Tsukishima whenever we ain't alone. I respected his request and didn't really question further more. I let him call me by my first name too. After some chats here and there, we had some pretty things in common too. I also found out he likes dinosaurs and strawberry shortcake. He walked me home as he says that it's also the way he goes whenever he went home. So I guess we'll be walking home together? Maybe heh. And with that I head over to my house. I head over straight to my bed seeing that it's still early, '4:45'. I still have some time to sleep so I did just that.
