Tsundere - Tsukishima Kei X Reader

thirteen

First off, OMG tysm for 100 reads! I'll make this chapter with all of my effort capacity! I also love that you voted if you did, so grateful for both! Okok let's start *smirks*

Chikara had been watching over Y/N during the past few days with great care. He saw the smile she'd give each time they met at the gym, but he also heard her saddest songs played which he knew she only saved for when she needed to cry.

He was really irritated by the fact that they weren't in the same grade because he couldn't easily find out if school was bothering her, though at least they were close enough...

But the smiles and laughing she gave him as she pulled him out of the gym and on the jog home showed no trace of the forced ones he had received no more than just a day before.

She finally seemed happy, it brought Chikara tears of happiness which he quickly blinked away before Y/N could ask or even notice.

The house they shared appeared in view once more and they went inside where dinner was already laid out. On the table beside the food, a note read: I'll be out for the night with some friends, I made both of you dinner so be sure to eat! In Chikara's mom's elegant cursive.

The cousins sat down and after saying, "Itadakimasu!" they dug in to the still warm meal. Chikara's mom had made soba and the hot noodles brought a happy feeling in Y/N's stomach that almost made it seem as if it was glowing.

"Chikara! I'm going to visit Daichi-senpai and Suga-senpai after dinner, okay?" She addressed her cousin and he nodded, though after a moment of surprise that she asked to go out.

He thought for a second looking for a clock, then replied back, "It's already 6:30, make sure you come home before 8:00 if you want to go out."

Y/N grinned so wide her eyes seemed to have disappeared. "Haiiii~"

She dug through the rest of her meal and with her cheeks bulging, she washed her dish and after grabbing her coat, she sprinted out with a wave goodbye to Chikara who was still eating.

The air outside carried a light chill that wound around Y/N, but due to the coat and the warm meal she just had, Y/N payed it no mind.

Jogging, she arrived in front of Daichi's comfortable looking home and she knocked on the front door. Waiting outside, she took the time to look around the front at the plants in the yard to keep busy.

The front door then opened abruptly, startling Y/N's train of thought, as the golden light from inside spilled out onto the younger girl. A slightly flushed Daichi with his clothes disheveled stood in the entrance and an equally messy looking Sugawara was blushing a bit harder as he peeked from behind the slightly taller male.

"A-ah, Y/N! Perfect, we needed your help with something!" Daichi stuttered and Y/N put two and two together in her head at her senpais' appearances.

With a smirk, she replied, "Right, I hope I didn't interrupt then." This did not help Suga as he continued to blush a scarlet that even Yamaguchi- no, Tadashi- could respect.

Clearing his his throat and smoothing out his wrinkled shirt, Daichi took Y/N to his living room where Suga soon joined. As they sat down at the table, Daichi pulled out a chart. It was a diagram of half a volleyball court and most of the player positions and starting lineup were marked down with names.

Tadashi-kun isn't starting... Both he and Kei are middle blockers which must have to do with their height. Tobio-kun is setting, obviously, Daichi-san is captain so of course he's starting. Oh... Tanaka-senpai is the only second year starting on the list so far...

Daichi spoke, cutting through Y/N's train of thought. "So positions and starting lineup are mostly done, what do you notice?"

She looked over the set-up again. Lifting her head, she stated, "We don't have a libero yet, or an ace... Also Sho- Hinata-kun's position is undecided, but he's definitely starting." Daichi nodded then pointed at his and Kageyama's positions.

"I want to see how that deviant quick attack matches up against a powerhouse like Seijoh." He replied. "And the third wing spiker will most likely be Ennoshita, he's changed since his first year."

Y/N beamed, extremely pleased with her cousin earning a starting position which Suga scribbled down.

Y/N peeked over his shoulder and slowly smiled. "Well this one is the only person in this position right now then, and I have a feeling that Hinata-kun has a knack for surprising even the elite."

Suga's eyes snapped up and widened, but after seeing Daichi nodding in agreement, he turned back to Y/N. "Are you really sure then?" But he already knew the answer as she only stared unflinchingly right back at him.

And with that, the positions were decided.

The girl got up and Suga decided he'd leave as well. "Thanks for coming over as one of our managers to help us out!" Daichi said while walking back to the entrance.

Y/N only waved back and smiled as she ducked out of the doorway and outside, before being joined by Suga not too long after.

"Ano... Y/N-chan..." The boy said, his flush returning. "At the beginning... Don't tell anyone, okay? We're planning on telling the team later but I really don't want to cause a commotion, especially before the Seijoh match."

Y/N turned in back and just gave him a hug in response. "Don't worry, my lips are sealed. I called it before, though, remember?"

His face flushed and he ran his hands through his light grey hair nervously, letting out a small laugh. "Yeah, you did..."

Eventually, they parted ways, and Y/N came home and headed straight to bed where she changed into comfortable clothes and just plopped herself on her bed and slept deeply, her mind already lost to her dreams...

A/N:
