You frowned, staring at your face and upper body in the mirror. And you knew you shouldn't, but... you glanced at your scale on the bathroom floor.

Maybe you were worrying too much over it. Thinking too hard about it. Nobody would probably even notice.

And yet.

"You look different today." You looked up and to the side, seeing Ushijima staring down at you. Your heart dropped in your chest. Was he purposely trying to make you feel bad? No, probably not, but...

"..." You frowned, eyebrows furrowing. "Oh... I do?"

"Ne–"

"Uh—I have to go, um, sorry," you muttered out, feeling too awful to even try to attempt a conversation. You slipped away, planning to hide away for the rest of the day somehow until you could leave the school. Or maybe you would just somehow squeeze out and go to your dorm. Decisions, decisions.

You hated this feeling. You felt gross and out of your body and all these other nameless feelings that all fit under the category of 'negative emotions you never wanted to feel ever again.'

Every time someone so much as glanced at you, it only grew worse and worse until you were basically an anxious mess. "I hate this." You sighed out, slowing to a stop in front of one of the bathrooms. Maybe you would hide in there until school was done.

"Hey." You jumped and turned around.

Ushijima stood there in all his glory as if he had not just destroyed your confidence literally five minutes ago.

"..."

"You didn't let me finish."

"I didn't really want to hear you say anymore. I don't really enjoy being insulted," you glared at him bitterly, shifting uncomfortably in front of him. You hated conflict. You glanced at the bathrooms to make sure you had an escape route.

"It was supposed to be a pick up line, not an insult."

You looked up at him in suspicion. "It sure didn't sound flirty."

"I was meant to finish with, 'Nevermind, I just got surprised by your unimaginable beauty again.' But you left."

You looked at him unsurely. Ushijima would always just say it bluntly, but he also wouldn't just outright lie to you like this. "Are you sure? Why would you even do a pick up line... on me?"

"Yes. I just wanted to see you smile. And because I like you."

"It's the embarrassment, not because of you!" you defended yourself, crossing your arms over your chest. You still felt overly exposed and uncomfortable in your skin, but this definitely cheered you up a bit. "...Do you really mean it?"

"Yes. Would you like to go on a date this weekend?" He nodded, all focused.

"This isn't a prank?"

"No." You slowly relaxed.

"Then, yeah, I'll go on a date with you. Please don't try a pick up line again though."
