22/Fairytale

Time Skip - A Year - House In Japan

I came home from work in a slump. I was tired and upset. Today just wasn't a good day. My colleges getting under my skin and my paperwork was through the roof.

It's already 10 pm, I was supposed to be home at 5 so I can call Ushijima. He's supposed to be in Sendai for a few days for a tournament, so I told him that I would call him around dinner time so we could talk.

I took off my shoes and my jacket. I walked to our bedroom and plugged in my phone. I climbed in the shower and cleaned up.

Since it was the weekend, I did my full shower routine. Shave, face cleanse, all that stuff. I got out and got dressed. I put on some shorts and a sweater.

I sat down on my bed and looked at all my notifications. Most of them were social media, but one of them stuck out. A text from one of Ushijima's teammates; Kageyama.

From: Kageyama
To: Y/n-Chan
Can you call Ushijima? He seems worried about something and you soothe him.

I replied back with an okay and called Ushijima. I waited for the phone to ring. That's when I heard his phone go off from downstairs. I started to freak out.

Why would his phone be ringing? ...He has it with him. We just called yesterday..

I got up off the bed, my phone in my hand while a shoe in the other.

Don't judge me. I don't know if there's an intruder downstairs. I need something to defend myself and shoes hurt.

I carefully made my way down the stairs. I looked at the front door to see it was unlocked and the kitchen light was on. I peaked around the wall and saw Ushijima standing there.

You: Toshi? What are you doing here? I thought you had a tournament.

Ushijima: We never had one.

You: What?

Ushijima: I'll explain later. Go get dressed.

You: I am dressed.

Ushijima: Formally dressed.

I gave him a confused look but I listened to him. I went upstairs and put on a kimono. I fixed my hair and did barely any makeup cause I was legit about to go to bed before I discovered my boyfriend was here.

I slid on some slides and went downstairs. I saw Ushijima in his kimono while he had some water. He looked over at me with a blank face but a slight blush in his cheeks.

You: So~ what's the special occasion?

Ushijima: In exactly 1 hour, it will be our anniversary of 3 years. I wanted to take you out for the evening.

You: Aww, okay we can go out tonight.

Ushijima nodded and we both walked out of the house. I locked the doors and we walked to his car. He opened my door for me. I sat down in the car while he got in on his side.

He reached into the backseat and grabbed a bouquet of my favorite flowers. I felt blush come onto my face as he held them for me to take. I smelled the flowers and smiled. I kissed him on the cheek. He gave me a small smile before we pulled out of the drive way.
