^^ Tsukishima's hair [plus no glasses] for the date

"Kei, make sure to be home at 10," Tsukishima's mom leaned in his doorway.

"Yeah, yeah," Tsukishima responded, slipping on his shoes.

His mom walk over to wipe something off his face.

"Mom, stop."

"Sorry, im just so happy for you! I'll support you no matter what!"

"Yeah, thanks," Tsukishima stood up, "see ya."

He walked out the door and for the first time in forever, he felt anxious and not sure of himself. What was he going to do? There is no way to escape this confrontation with Yamaguchi. What if he embarrasses him? What if Yamaguchi didn't like him still and they never speak again.

His phone rung and he checked it:

Random: Hey this is Kuroo from the training camp

Kuroo: suga told us you were going on a date so good luck! 😉👍

"Well now I know for sure I was texting Yamaguchi this whole time," he muttered.

He decided not to respond and he put his phone in his pocket as he approached the restaurant. He opened the door and he walked in, scanning the room until his eyes landed on Yamaguchi at his table, shaking. He was nervous as well.

He wore a nice suit with his hair slicked like this:

Tsukishima felt himself blush as he gazed at him.

Yamaguchi felt someone looking at him and he looked up.

"Tsukki?" He asked as Tsukishima walked over to him, "what a coincidence that you're here! Your date isn't here yet?"

"Sort of."

"Well, my date isn't here either, which is worrying me because I really like her so what if she stood me up," Yamaguchi sighed, feeling nervous.

"Yamaguchi... there's something that I need to tell you," Tsukishima informed. Maybe if I tell him, he'll still want to get out..?

"Oh no... oh my God, she sent you to tell me she isn't coming, right?!"

"No," Tsukishima began to explain, "you've actually been texting me this whole time."

"W-what?"

"Let me explain, I didn't even know until I overheard you talking with the king, that idiot, and Suga, I thought i was texting Kuroo from the training camp this whole time.." he explained, "but.. even though I found out it was you, I still wanted to go out.. thats why I didn't tell you until now."

Yamaguchi couldn't believe what he was hearing, "no... i probably texted you instead of her because I was so nervous about asking her out."

"Yamaguchi, I think she might have given you the wrong number.. on purpose."

"Huh... I'm really that ugly huh," Yamaguchi smiled sadly, "you agree. You think she wouldn't have liked me anyways."

"Thats not what I was saying-"

"No, Tsukishima, its OK, but I don't want to go on this date," Yamaguchi felt tears in his eyes, "i feel so humiliated."

"Yamaguchi-" Tsukishima tried to call out.

But Yamaguchi was already gone out of the restaurant door. Tsukishima felt terrible.
