Floating Away With You

Chapter 6- Finding An Excuse

(Your POV)~
Tendou hurried up to put his hand back under the books. I could see a smirk forming on his face.
He must've seen that my face was red hot.
Smiling to myself a little bit, I synchronize our walking pattern.
"I love this song!" I say with a smile. I hadn't heard this song in a while. It was my mom's favourite.
Tendou looked over at me with a big smile covering his face. He looked genuinely happy.
We walked in silence, but it was a comfortable silence. It was calming.
I wanted to grab a camera and film this very moment, then re-watch it for eternity. I was genuinely happy.

"This is my place!" I sighed. I didn't want our walk to end.
"Oh okay." He answered trying to give me the stack of books gently.
"What are all these books for anyways?" He asked, laughing a bit in confusion.
"Oh, I tutor students on weekends." I answer, the books in hand, unlocking my door.
"Wait a sec!" Tendou reached out and put his hand on my shoulder. When I turned around he quickly took his hand back, rubbing the back of his neck.
"I'm not doing well in English... or any subject for that matter, and the only way I can stay in my club is if my grades go up sooo..." He was looking everywhere but at me.
"I'll tutor you Tendou. I'd be happy too!" He smiled and sort of just stood there for a bit, not sure what to do.
"Uh, so (Y/N) I just wanted to say thank-" His voice was cut off when I gave him a hug.
I've wanted to give him a hug since we first met. But this time it wasn't because I pitied him.

I just wanted to feel his body against mine.

"I will be back, and I will NOT let you carry any other books on your own (F/N) (L/N)!" He said, putting his hand up to his forehead like he was in a boot camp.
"I'll be waiting!" I answered cheerfully, waving him goodbye.
I shut the door grinning to myself. My oh my, was I falling for him. For this tall, awkward softy. For Tendou.

(11:45 pm The same day)....

I was lying in my bed reading a magazine when a sudden thought of Tendou came up in my head. I wonder what club he's in. Why hasn't he brought up what happened when he beat up our classmate? Why is he always so quiet around everyone? There seems to be so much more about him, just waiting to be discovered.

I wanted to see him.
I needed an excuse.
I couldn't just show up! Could I?

I quickly put on a sweater and slipped on my slippers, heading out the door with a warm, damp cloth in my hands. I looked like an idiot smiling to myself on my way to his house.

I had found an excuse to see him again.
