L-Love?!

I felt as if my whole world froze for a bit, did he just call me- "Y/N, you okay?!" He shook me by grabbing both of my shoulders.

"What happened to you two?!" Misaki raised a brow as she went closer to us with the two managers by her side. The three girls had a worried expression on their faces.

"S-She just stopped responding.." Chikara stated, slightly blushing. I stared back at Misaki and the two managers, giving them a reassuring look that I am okay. Did I really zone out for a few seconds or a whole minute? Gosh, I'm overreacting. I started it anyways so why am I so flushed?!

"S-Sorry guys, I just zoned out!" I exclaimed at them, an awkward chuckle followed.

I could see the visible smirk on Kiyoko's face and I'm not liking it one bit-, "Y/N" Chikara called, still having a worried expression on his face.

But what happened to love?

"You okay?" He asked again. I sighed and nodded, I'm pretty disappointed he dropped the nickname or I don't know.

He chuckled leaning to my ear, "I'll pick you up at 9:30 AM tomorrow.."

"Love"

This motherfucking flirt-

•••

I think I woke up and got ready too early. Fuck, I look like a mess. I'm supposed to look chill but I look too...messy but not really?

Is an oversized white t-shirt and denim pants too plain? Should I change or..

Beep!

I jumped a little at the notification, what in the actual hell? I checked my phone that almost slipped off my hand as I took it from my pocket.

ChiChi:
Oy I'm outside.

Jeez, this guy I swear. I couldn't help but smile at his texts sometimes. He just texts or just text me like I'm his friend and not his girlfriend- but it's better than being all smoosh smoosh with each other.

I quickly get down a few steps of stairs. I placed my phone and earphones on the right side of my pocket while my wallet remained on the other side.

This is nerve-racking. This isn't even the first time we went on a date, why the hell am I like this? Well- I'm always nervous during our dates so maybe I am not surprised at some parts of myself.

I opened the door. Chikara wore a plain black t-shirt, black ripped jeans, white sneakers, and to top it off: he had a red hoodie wrapped around his waist. Perfection.

"You ready?" He asked, a smirk visible on his face.

"Of course I am" I shot back with a smirk as well.

"Then quit staring at me and let's go" He placed both of his arms on his nape, whistling as he left me a blushing mess trying to lock my door properly. This mothertrucker-

After minutes of struggling to lock my damn door, I finally caught up to Chikara who was waiting by the side walk with a bored expression on his face. "You certainly took your time" He teased.

I rolled my eyes, "Thanks"

We started walking, our silence was once again one of the most comfortable feeling in the world.

"By the way" He stated, I raised a brow and gave him a look. "Tsukiyama is sailing"

A huge smile crept onto my face, "Finally!" I screamed. Ignoring all of the strangers that gave my judging looks or glances.

"Wait, how did you know before me?!" I screamed once again, Chikara covering his ears and giving an unpleased look.

He chuckled, "Kageyama caught them having a date and took a video of it" He stated.

"And..he sent it to your group chat, huh?" I raised a brow, a smirk crept on my lips. Chikara simply sighed and nodded. Welp, guess that was war between the salt shaker and the king again.

"In return Tsukishima sent a photo of him and Hinata together" Chikara added, I could only chuckle at the news I'm hearing. They were all pretty obvious by now.

"Speaking of together..." He grabbed my hand and started dragging towards the park to where the Sakura trees were blooming beautifully. As he dragged me, I noticed the falling sakura that fell onto my head.

A lot of couples were around, a lot of them gave us judging or 'in-awe' looks as we ran passed them and apologise if we ever accidentally almost hit the pairs.

Finally Chikara brought me to the very end of the park where the largest Sakura tree stood in our town. It was a sight to behold, the branches were huge; it seems like it could carry at least 2-4 people if people even dared to climb such a beauty.

A moment of silence were reached.

"Y/N L/N" Chikara suddenly spoke slowly. Grabbing my chin and connecting our foreheads together. I could feel his breath and he could feel mine as our hands intertwined.

"Chikara Ennoshita" I teasingly replied. We both let out a shy giggle.

"I know it's a bit too early but..." Our foreheads stopped touching my our hands remained together. We could both feel each other's warmth.

"But? What is it?" I asked, I feel my heartbeat fastened.

"In the future, will you marry me?" My eyes widened at the question. It was sudden yet, why don't I feel scared or a bit pressured at all?

"Y/N L/N, the love of my life. Will you be my future wife?" He asked, a crept of crimson blush formed on his cheeks.

"Yes! I will marry you, Chikara Ennoshita!" I yelled, grabbing his arm and pulling him in for a warm kiss. Our lips connected perfectly, the surroundings became silent and the world seemed to stop for our moment.

An image flashed to my mind, a female in a pure white wedding dress and a male in a tuxedo. Was that deja vu?

I opened my eyes and we separated our lips, connecting our foreheads once again. A clap was heard from the background. We both almost jumped and quickly looked at who was watching us.

"What are you all doing here?!" Chikara yelled.

"Omg my best friend!" Misaki was crying her eyes out while Kiyoko and Hitoka supported her back with soft and gentle rubs.

Tanaka and Nishinoya were taking pictures while Narita and Kinoshita were also crying being comforted by Sugawara who had tears in his eyes with Daichi supporting Sugawara then Asahi was left trying to control Nishinoya.

On the other hand, the first years were just plain out smiling- and they started crying too nevermind. Tsukishima was only slightly smiling.

I smirked at the mess in front of us, I quickly grab Chikara and leaned close to his ear. "What-.." He said.

"I love you, my love" I whispered.

He chuckled and quickly carried me up, "I love you too, my love!" He yelled. A squeal followed from our lovely audience.
