" Aw . C'mon Tsukishima ! I think they're cute . "

Nejire's POV

When I was little , my mother always protected me from men , she told me how they were all the same , all ravages, all rude , all stubborn, all they want is to see you fall to boost their own ego . That changed when I met Kuroo however it's all coming back ever since a certain someone first opened his mouth to speak .

T U E S D A Y
DAY 00

" Of course we are cute together , Lev ! " Kuroo responded on behalf of me , his chin resting against my shoulder , " The prettiest girl in the world with the coolest guy ever . "

" Coolest guy ever ? I'm not with Bokuto . " I yawned out , Bokuto's eyes lighting up with joy .

" Prettiest girl ever ? I was referring to Kiyoko . " He retorted back with a smug stupid grin .

" Oh go ahead and try your luck with her , bed head , cause last time I checked Kiyoko Protection squad is on patrol 24/7 and they spare no one . "

Ah yes . Kiyoko protection squad , just assembled earlier today . Nishinoya , Tanaka , Yamamoto and .. possibly Yachi ? Nishinoya being the leader , of course , since he's the only one who has ever been wacked by her .

Now at this point all Kuroo could do was pout , and whine and complain , shaking me around to torment me and my short height giving him a large advantage of pushing me around .

" lets get to practice . " Tsukishima rolled his eyes with annoyance , pulling the rooster off of me . For once I can thank this egotistic bastard from saving me but in reality he was just clearly annoyed with his 'senpai' .

Quotation marks because he doesn't act like it .

And now I'm left with Lev because he needs to learn how to receive the ball , but it wasn't long till Yaku found him and dragged him back to his dungeon— I mean , practice . Yaku was the only one who could teach Lev , the perfect amount of screaming to teaching . If it was me , I'd break his neck already .

The entire practice , I sat at the side , watching the boys play , cheering for Kuroo but at the same time, my eyes kept on trailing over at Tsukishima .

Not for the reason you think , no— It's cause he was staring at me .

doki .

Third Person POV

Her observation wasn't wrong , the tall egotistical blonde was staring at the shorter female . Unintentionally however . His eyes kept on trailing down to her , like a spell in which he couldn't break out of from . Love ? Infatuation ? Curiosity ? Interest ?

Maybe more of an .. eye candy however to have a visual attraction to this pipsqueak? Unbelievable. She's short , loud , bland , boring and unfortunately— taken . But to him , something was intriguing. Was it her raven black hair as dark as midnight ? Her fangs that showed every time she yelled or gave that goofy smile ? Or was it the confidence despite rising up to only about 5'2 ? Doesn't matter what it was but he was interested however he never knew how to properly talk to others especially since most of the time , girls would be the one coming up to him . He never had to make a move.. not like he wanted to , especially since she's taken by his upperclassman.

" Tsukishima Kei . Eyes on the ball . " The female exclaimed , shocking him . Did she notice his staring ? Was she staring at him ? This was the first time she said his first name and that made his heart flutter .

doki .

Despite the visual attraction to her , a scoff left this man's lips , turning away as he blocked a spike from Bokuto . 'Don't look . Don't look .' Trailed through his mind .

Pretty girl . Pretty face . Pretty . Pretty . Pretty .

But what about our main character? Nejire Date ? In her eyes , Tsukishima was the huge bastard . A rude , arrogant bastard . The definition of her mother's words , ' All men are pigs . ' . But his blonde hair that seemed to glisten underneath the light , the sweat that trickled down his neck , the veins that pop out of his hands as he blocked a ball using all of his strength , the way he pushed up his glasses nonchalantly— This is just visual admiration, right ? When you have a crush on a celebrity but you'd never date them , right ? She's happy with Kuroo , undeniably happy , yet she keeps wondering why she keeps looking back to this male figure she only just met today . The male figure who she thinks of as a huge motherfucking bastard .

doki .

Nejire's POV

Gosh Neji ! Pull yourself together ! You have standards , you are not going to be physically attracted to an angel haired noodle fork prong looking ass mother fucker . You are very much happy with your incredibly good looking, talented , sweetheart of a boyfriend— and of course right as you think of that he gets hit in the face with a volleyball , way to go , Kuroo .

" Uh ! Sorry to interrupt but Daichi is calling for Bokuto and Kuroo for captain meet up ! " A female's voice exclaimed out , loud enough for it to be projected . It was yachi , her soft figure , shy and sweet tone .

" You ,boys, go , I'll help you guys pack up . " I sighed , standing up . Kuroo grinned and placed a small kiss on my forehead with a small 'Thanks' being muttered out . See— sweetheart of a boyfriend . " No problem , rooster . Now go , I heard Daichi is scarier than me . " As the boys left along with Akaashi , who only left just to make sure Kuroo and Bokuto don't do anything stupid , it now left me and Tsukishima once again . With our previous encounters , my gut says 'Neji , leave .' but I gotta clean up .

Picking up the volleyballs , one by one , Tsukishima started putting away with net .

" I can do it myself , go have dinner . " I grumbled , just wanting him to leave already . This awkward tension is making me need to pee .

" Do it yourself ? You won't be able to reach the net by yourself , dwarf . You should be the one having dinner, maybe you'll grow taller . " He snickers , a smug smirk growing on his face as I stuck my tongue out at him .

" Annoying . " I muttered .

" Say you . " He retorted .

" What the fuck is your problem with me ? "

Shit . That was not supposed to come out— why am I so angry at this man whom I've only met today , it's day zero and I'm already getting into a fight ? You should know better , Neji .

His expression remained , excited ? Impressed ? No— Amused . He think this is all a game , an entertainment. Does he think I'm some toy that he can mess around with ? Just because he's tall and blonde and good looking ?

" Me ? Oh nothing . You just look absolutely adorable when you're mad . "
