Ushijima Wakatoshi x Reader

"Hello?" I lightly ask into my phone. "Is this Ushijima-san?" I rub my eyes from staying up late to finish my college apps and laundry.

"Yes. I am free today and Sunday all day, and all next week after 9pm." A monotone voice comes out from the other end.

Ah yes, his straightforwardness is sometimes surprising.

"I will be busy today after 2pm. Unless I can help you tomorrow or the weekdays? I have to tutor other students on Tuesday and Wednesday." I hold the phone between my face and my shoulder, while packing my things to go to the beach.

"Hm. Is Friday after 9pm good Shimizu-chan? I would prefer to go to your house as it is closer from school. I will provide snacks if you would like Shimizu-chan." Ushijima states bluntly into the phone and I look through my drawers for swimwear.

"Are you sure? I only live with my mother but I'm pretty sure she would bother you a lot!" I nervously chuckle into the phone, worrying about having a teenager in my home, with my mom.

"That is fine. I like it when females talk to me. It makes me feel superior and manly."

"Ahaha that's nice . . ." I awkwardly laugh, confused as whether he meant that or not. "Thank you for offering for the snacks, but my mom stored many shelves with food, so no guests would go hungry. How long would you like to study for?"

"From 9 to 12 is good with me. I do not need a lot of sleep" Ushijima-san says. "Too much will make you tired."

"Sure that's fine with me! Please bring any materials on what you need to study for! I also have them but it would be easier to have two so we don't have to share." I grab a beach bag, shoving my wallet, towel, keys, and extra clothes into it.

"Okay. Thank you Shimizu-chan. Have a good day."

"Goodbye!" Ushijima-san immediately hangs up after he hears my "goodbye".

I write the plan in my notebook and run down to tell mom.

"Mom a classmate is coming over on Friday next week so I can tutor them! It's gonna be a bit late, from 9pm to 12am but he isn't a loud person so don't worry." I pop my head into the kitchen and was about to go back to my room, when my mom grabbed my shirt.

"He?" She looked at me with confusion, excitement, nervousness, and happiness.

Oh lord here it comes.

"He?! Oh my goodness is this a boyfriend?!" My mom gasps as she drops the fish to the ground.

"Mom! That fish was really cheap at the market now it's dirty-" I complain as she grabs my shoulders.

"He?! Answer my question you cheapskate!!" Mom shakes me by my shoulders. "Boyfriend?"

"No mom! Jeez you always do this" I sigh. "Can I not have a friend that is of opposite gender than me?" I ask, my tone slightly laced with annoyance.

"Oh I'm so sorry sweetie but the last time you had a boy friend was a long time ago, after that horrible accident-" Mom let's go of me.

"It was an incident. Not an accident." I mumble.

"That's right. I'm sorry sweetie," My mom lets go of my shoulders and attempts to clean up the fish. "Well it's nice that you are finally having a friend over. Sakura hasn't been here in quite a while."

I nod in agreement. "Maybe I'll ask the team to stay for a bit after the beach." I smile encouragingly towards my mom.

"Sweet curry is fine?" She looks up at me and shows a soft, warm smile.
