Pain

Chapter 5

~Friday~

~Yamaguchi's POV~

I jolted up as I heard someone knocking on my bedroom door. Then, Tsuki suddenly opened my door, walked in, and quietly closed it back.

"T-Tsuki, what are you doing?!" I yelled in a whisper.

"Well, I thought I might as well bring my stuff here now since I'll be back after school. Sorry, did I scare you? Wait, why aren't you already up?" Tsukishima asked.

I rubbed my eyes as I replied, "No, you didn't scare me and I wake up at 6:30 every morning."

The clock read 6:15 and I yawned. Kei set his bag down then made his way towards the bed and sat down beside me. My face felt hot when he pulled my head down to his shoulder. Tsuki, then, softly ran his fingers through my hair.

We've only been dating for almost four days now. When we're alone, Tsuki's more gentle and surprisingly more touchy. Only when I've bothered him for the millionth time though and, of course, he's still the same old salt shaker when we're around other people. I'm more than glad that we're together now, even if we're going to be keeping it a secret for a while. Because now, we are closer than before. Kei is a wonderful boyfriend and I hope he thinks the same for me.

We sat there until my alarm started to go off, so I lifted my head and reached for the clock to turn it off. Then, I got up and walked across my room to grab my school uniform. As I took off my shirt, Tsuki's face turned bright red and he quickly looked away in any other direction than my body. Which made me feel a little bit self-conscious, so I turned my back towards him. Even though we change in front of each other for practice, it's a little awkward now that we see each other differently. Especially since we can technically act on our feelings now.

"So, how did you get in anyways?" I asked, breaking the silence.

"Oh, uh, your mom let me in. She was leaving for work," he replied while still looking away.

I nodded and finished changing.

"Do you want anything to eat or drink?"

"No, I ate before I made my way here,"

Kei stood up, turned his head slightly to the side, and walked to me as I turned to him. My eyes grew wide as he suddenly grabbed my tie and kept eye contact as he straightened it.  The air between us thickened. Tsukishima then flicked my nose and smirked at me while dropping my tie. I jumped back and grabbed my nose.

"What was that for?!" I asked.

He chuckled, "I'm sorry, but you looked like an idiot standing there with a crooked tie. Did you really expect me to kiss you?"

"N-No! I just d-didn't expect you to straighten my tie, that's all!" I stuttered.

Flustered, I wave him off and start to head to the bathroom to finish getting ready. But Tsuki suddenly grasped my shoulder, turned me around, and pinned me to the wall.

As if I wasn't flustered enough.

"K-Kei, w-what are you doing?" I nervously spoke.

He sighed, "Just shut up and let me kiss you." Tsukishima closed the gap between us. The kiss was quick and he kept his hands on the wall beside my head. When Tsuki pulled away, he looked down on me as I quickly covered my reddening face. I suddenly felt his hand on my head and he lightly started messing with my hair again.

He's trying to comfort me?

I uncovered my face to look back up at him. When I did Kei simply smiled and kissed my forehead. He really likes to make me flustered. I'm pretty sure he takes joy in seeing me nervous and my face beat red too.
