Something More Than Teammates

<Shirabu's P.O.V>

I was on my third period, and after this class I'll be going to lunch. I had my mind off from what happened earlier, since class took my focus from it immediatly. I'm in the moment taking notes of class because my teacher had announced that my class is going to have an exam in a few days time.

It's one of the classes I had trouble with the most so I had to pay attention if I want to ace the subject. The teacher was lecturing us, but from the corner of my eye I spotted Kawanishi. I completely forgot about him being in my class, I didn't notice him either and he was looking at me. He turned away when I caught him staring. I shook it off and concertrated back to class.

The bell rang, I organized my desk and put my books to my bag and headed straight out the door. I was walking down the hall when I heard footsteps coming towards me from behind. I turned my head and saw Kawanishi catching up to me. "Hey Shirabu!", he said. "Hi Kawanishi.", I replied. I bowed slightly and continued walking, Kawanishi soon placed himself walking beside me.

"Hey I saw you walk run-ish to class, what was that about?", he asked. "Why were you looking at me in class earlier?", I replied with a question. I really didn't want to say that I came from the infirmary room because he'll definetely ask me more questions.

"Hey you know you can tell me anything right?", he said again.

He seemed to wanted to know, but I didn't tell him anyways. "It's none of your business, you don't have to worry.", I said emotionlessly. He was contemplating about what to say as a reply, but he stopped talking and looked forward at our way.

<Third Person P.O.V>

Shirabu and Kawanishi reached the school main cafetaria and could see the third years; Ushijima, Tendou, Ohira and Semi listening to Goshiki talk about something. "And then he went to his class, with his face still a bit red.", Goshiki finished. "What are you talking about about?", Kawanishi said peeking his head into the conversation.

"Goshiki was telling us about what happened earlier with him and Shirabu.", replied Semi. "Hm? What happened earlier?", Kawanishi said turning his head towards Shirabu expecting an answer but nothing came off of him. Shirabu looked annoyed and bothered about the situation, he turned to Goshiki wanting an answer.

"Oh, I found Shirabu earlier in the hallway looki-", Goshiki couldn't finish his sentence as someone cut him off. "If you dare tell him what happened I will murder you.", Shirabu said sternly.

"And why did you tell the third years too?", he added gesturing the third years sitting in front of him. "Well just in case it disturbs practice.", replied Goshiki. "I feel so left out here.", Kawanishi said, wiping a fake tear of his face. "It's nothing you should be concerned off.", replied Shirabu. "Hey hey Kawanishi, it's okok. I'll tell you later!", Tendou said in his usual personality. Kawanishi thanked his senpai, instead Shirabu scowled at his senpai, irritated that others will know what happened.

"Hey Shirabu, why don't you want us to know, we just care about your health.", Semi said. "Are you embarrassed?", he added with a mischievous smirk on his face. "I-I am not!", Shirabu said as a reply. "Why am I stuttering? Oh gosh I feel my face a bit heating up. How can someone be so hot?!", thought Shirabu. There was a tint of pink on his cheeks as he said his reply. "Hey are you ok Shirabu san?", Goshiki asked.

Shirabu shook his head and replied, "I'm alright, none of you need to worry. I'll be fine.". Semi seemed to wanted to say something as his mouth was opened but nothing came out as he had second thoughts of saying something. He then had his attention on his food he got from the cafeteria and started eating.

Tendou then started talking to Ushijima and he was silently listening to Tendou, Goshiki was joyfully talking with Kawanishi about some random things and Semi was talking with Ohira. Shirabu was left with his thought, he couldn't hear anything that was happening around him. Just his thoughts.

"What are these feelings?", he asked himself. "These feelings, the feeling of...happiness? Happiness, but why?". "What made him happy?". There was a pause of his train if thoughts, then it just clicked. "Do I like him?", he asked. "Do I like my senpai?". "Do I like Semi san?...".

There was a longer pause, he was contemplating for a moment. There was silence in his mind, he couldn't think of anything, it felt as though time had stopped. He didn't move, he couldn't think of any other things than. "I like Semi san?", it was more of a question than a statement, Shirabu wasn't sure, he doesn't even know how it feels to like someone.

He never liked anyone like this, like how he feels now. The butterflies in his stomache, the constany wanting to know what the other was doing, the wanting to be around them all the time. Shirabu has felt this way before, even if he didn't want to admit it or not, he has felt all of this, felt all of these emotions about Semi, his senpai.
