spiked - chapter fifteen

A few days had passed without [y/n] and Ushijima seeing each other. The soccer player was fully concentrated on practicing for Nationals and only barely had time to send a short small text to the volleyball ace.

The [h/c] haired male thought nothing much of it, but the same thing couldn't be said for the other.

Ushijima and Tendou sat in the cafeteria, mindlessly eating as they talked about the schools that made it past the final rounds.

The red head's attention was caught by a soccer duo entering the building, and he excitedly waved hi to them.

"Tendou-senpai!"

[y/n] walked over, Ryouta tagging along behind him as the first year smiled brightly.

"You rat, you haven't dropped by the gym in a long time."

The middle blocker proceeded to throw an arm over his shoulder, his knuckles digging into the top of [y/n]'s head as he let out a maniacal laughter. 

While the two were busy fighting, the two club captains locked eyes with one another, their gaze never breaking causing the bickering males to pause in their actions.

"Ryouta-senpai/Wakatoshi?"

They instantly looked away from each other as Ushijima grabbed [y/n]'s hand for him to sit beside him.

The volleyball ace grabbed his chopsticks and picked up a dish from his tray, "You haven't eaten yet, right? Have some of mine."

[y/n] didn't get to properly answer, or question his abrupt movements, when the male held out the food towards him. Without a word he happily ate the food straight from his crush's chopsticks.

"Ne Ushijima-senpai, that was an indirect kiss you know?" [y/n] teased, leaning into Ushijima's personal space.

The third year felt the tips of his ears turn hot as he looked away, "Just eat."

"Hm? If you're hungry, you can just eat out my-"

"[y/n]." 

The said male looked in front of him to see his captain standing up with his hair covering his eyes, "Yeah?"

"I'll be at the rooftop if you need me."

[y/n] blinked slowly as the yellow-eyed male walked out of the cafeteria, wondering what was up with him. He just brushed it off though, going back to happily eating with his upperclassmen.

Ushijima on the other hand stared at the disappearing figure a little bit longer, the nagging feeling back as he was reminded of what he had seen the other day. 

˚

The rest of the week had progressed just like that.

Whenever [y/n] and Ryouta were together, Ushijima would magically appear with Tendou and somehow pull [y/n] to his side. The male himself didn't know why he was doing it, and the first year didn't mind it at all.

[y/n]'s heart fluttered whenever the stoic volleyball ace would make physical contact with him and he found himself turning red whenever he did. 

The soccer player finally found the time to be able to head over to the gym after their practices and ran in order to make it in time.

He let out a faint sigh of relief when he realized the lights were still on and hurried to the door where he saw members exiting.

"Ah [y/n] you finally came." Eita smiled, ruffling the shorter male's hair.

Shirabu walked by with his sports bag on his shoulder, "If you go inside right now you can help Ushiwaka put everything away."

"Is it just him ack-"

[y/n] nearly toppled over when he felt weight on his back, "Yup! Go get him tiger!"

The soccer player then stumbled forward when Tendou pushed him, the male giving him a wink as he entered the gym.

"Use protection if you're gonna MhM NGhH, ya know?" 

[y/n] laughed as Tendou gave him thumbs up, only to be hit in the head by Eita.

"Dumbass don't say that so loudly!"

Ohira just sweatdropped and apologized before wishing him good luck.

'What a chaotic club...'

When [y/n] turned around he saw the ace cleaning up by himself and smiled slightly. He ran towards him and picked up the ball by his foot, surprising the taller male.

"Heyo senpai~"

The two then silently picked up all the balls and rolled it into the closet. As they were taking down the nets, Ushijima was reminded of the weight in his heart and for once in his life hesitated.

"[y/n]..."

The male brightly looked at him, smiling just from a simple name-calling.

"Yeah?"

Ushijima contemplated on his words before realizing what he was doing and just straight out said it.

"You kissed Yamamoto the other day, why?"

[y/n] froze in his actions before nodding, "It was... a closure I guess you can say. A bittersweet one." He looked at the ace beside him and smiled, "Why? Jealous?"

The third year was completely clueless about his feelings, "Why would I be jealous?"

[y/n] just chuckled and shook his head, "Is that why you were acting so differently this week?"

He walked over and gently wrapped his arms around the taller male, looking up at him as he smiled cutely, "Don't worry senpai~ You're the only one I like."

He went on his tippy toes and pressed his lips lightly onto Ushijima's cheeks, the feeling lingering and tingling even when he separated.

[y/n] looked into Ushijima's eyes knowingly, "I'll wait for you."

The captain felt his heart tug once again as he mindlessly placed a hand over it.

"I think I have a heart problem."

"Huh? Wait- what?!"

Ushijima found himself smiling slightly at the frantic male before him, finding his panic cute.

'Maybe the heart problem isn't that bad after all.'
