Something More Than Teammates

<Semi's P.O.V>

I was talking to a fellow third year, Ohira Reon. He is my friend, a teammate on the volleyball team too. Ohira is fun to be around with, he has always been nice to everyone and could choose his words very well, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone admires him and adore him. While we were talking, I noticed that Shirabu was very lost in thought, his face made it very obvious. I wondered,

"What is he thinking about?", Shirabu had his mouth semi-open. I observed his face, from his eyes, nose, jaw, mouth, everything, I was doing that subconcously until I caught myself staring at the second year setter.

"Hey Semi, are you ev- why are you staring at Shirabu kun?", Ohira had said. I blushed slightly, it's not everyday that I observe Shirabu closely. I took my attention off Shirabu and to Ohira, the person I was talking to. "Uhh, I don't know?", I replied. "Did he caught your attention?", asked Ohira.

I stayed quiet, not answering his question, I didn't know what to reply, I don't have an answer for him. Ohira looked as though he took the silence as an answer and started questioning again. "I don't think you should worry about him if that's why. He seems fine to me.". I didn't say much but just nodded my head slightly.

I took another little glance at Shirabu, he looked unbothered and calm, just eating his lunch, a subconciously gave a small smile that Ohira noticed. "You like him don't you?", Ohira suddenly said that caught me off guard. "What?! Why would you think that?", I didn't want to disturb anyone so I whisper-yelled my reply. Ohira chuckled by my reaction and I blushed a bit out of embarrassement.

"It's ok if you do, it's not like it's bad or anything.", Ohira said. "I don't like him, I think.", I scratched the back of my neck while I replied to Ohira. "You think? So you're not sure.", Ohira said, his expression was a casual one. "Uhh, why are we talking about who I like all of the sudden?", I tried to change the subject somehow, but I didn't know why, I might just be uncomfortable with the situation I'm in, maybe.

"Hehe, sorry for making you uncomfortable Semi. It's just that I barely see you liking someone like that so this is something I'd like to talk about more with you.", replied Ohira, he was being genuine, I could tell by his face so I let out a short and low sigh. "It's ok, I guess..", I replied with a small smile.

<Third P.O.V>

Semi was walking home alone as usual, he was admiring the environment he was in, it was beautiful as it always has. Semi tucked his hands inside his pockets, feeling relaxed. While he was walking he walked across a couple walking with each other. They were talking and laughing happily, like any normal couple would do.

Semi wondered if he'll ever be like that, having fun with his paetner, if he'll get one of course. Dating don't really cross his mind since he's busy doing other things, never realy set it as his priority. He didn't know how it felt like to be inlove, having romantic feelings for someone.

But he may have some little crushes on people but that's probably due to him admiring them or something. Others has described the feeling of being inlove as having butterflies in your stomache when you see or think about them, or you always want to be around them and want to know what they're doing. They also has said that you blush when you see them and can get flustered, you admire what they do and you become happier when they're with you.

"Gosh, these things are really making my brain hurt.", Semi said to himself. "Is being inlove difficult?", he added. Semi looked up at the sky trying to clear his train of thoughts and just feel at ease. It worked, Semi always found calmness when he looks up at the clear sky, it had put him in ease a lot of times before.

Semi had arrived at his home, Semi rummaged through his bag to get his key to unlock the door. He opened the unlocked the door, closed it and locked it again. "I'm home!", Semi yelled. He really didn't need to yell since no one was living with him.
