Feelings- tendo x poc reader

four

The three girls stood face to face with y/n giving fake smiles trying to plant false friendship. They had no intentions of being 'besties' with y/n. their only goal was to scare the shit out of her and establish their dominance as the HBIN(head bitches in charge).

"hey" said the tallest girl of the three. "i'm Akari, and this is Fumi and Kou." the other two girls waved. Just by first glace y/n could tell that Akari was the leader of the trio, while the other two were essentially sidekicks, even though they were too naive to know that themselves.

"hi" said y/n with a slight smile. Y/n was always the one to see the best in people, so she tried to ignore the subtle negative energy she was picking up and continued the conversation. "uh i'm f/n l/n and its a pleasure to me-"

"yea, yea save the chit chat." said kuo. y/n was taken back by her rude gesture but failed to speak up. "we saw you walking around with tendo-kun earlier, do you have a death wish?"

"a death wish? of course not,what are you talking about?" she said, her voice filled with shock and concern.

Kou gasped, "so you haven't heard?"

"Guys c'mon. don't scare y/n with your silly stories. i mean, maybe he changed since then..." Akira said with concern in her voice.

"Well, what happened?" Y/n said out of curiosity. she needed to know everything about Shiratorizawa if she wanted to fit in. and that included the tea that they were about to spill.

"well since your practically begging us to tell you," akira rolled her eyes, "i guess we'll fill you in. let's sit." the group of girls made their way to a near by bench right near the volleyball gym.

"let's get straight to the point: tendo is a monster. and i mean that in the most straightforward way. its already bad enough he looks like one, but the fact that he acts like one too, really seals the deal"

y/n furrows her brows in confusion. how could they say such harmful things about the guy i met earlier, he was so sweet and caring..."what do you mean? He seemed really nice earlier."

"hes probably trying to lure you in." Kou said as Fumi snickered.

"here's what happened" Akira began to explain "when we were all in our first year with tendo, he... how do i put this..? well, he killed someone"

"KILLED?!!"y/n semi-screamed with wide eyes. 

the three girls began to chuckle."yea. well not really, he just beat someone up so bad they had to transfer schools. so its like they died."

y/n sighed with relive. she was still taken back by what she just heard, but at least her new friend wasn't a viscous murderer. "w-why?"

"aren't u just filled with questions." said Akira with annoyance in her voice. "well nobody really truly knows why, but I heard he just snapped and beat the shit out of the dude. poor guy. he was in the hospital for two months after the fight. and i heard he can't even walk anymore. you have to be a real monster if your capable of such harm."

speechless, y/n looked at the girls in complete disbelieve. she didn't want to believe what they were telling her, but how could she not? the girls seemed dead serious, which made the situation even scarier.

"honestly we're telling you this because were looking out for you. we want to be truthful with you and we don't want to see you get hurt by that freak." said kou patting y/n's back.

"yeah, seriously, be careful around him, you might wanna stay away if you don't wanna end up like the other guy."

an awkward silence filled the space between y/n and the trio. she wanted to get home as soon as possible and end with the conversation with the girls.

"uh, ok. ill keep this in mind. i gotta get home now. see you guys later." y/n quickly grabbed her bag and speed walked away.

"Shes kinda weird, don't you think?"akira said as she watched y/n walk away.

"i guess. but her hair is cute and it looks soft. do you think she'll let me touch it?" fumi cooed

"save your self the embarrassment and don't ask." kuo commanded. she'd always have to tell Fumi simple things like that since she's quite the air head. "do you think she fell for it?"

"obviously. did you see the look on her face? i'm surprised she didn't piss herself." said the leader.

"guys maybe we should tell her it was a joke. what if she tells tendo-kun?" fumi uttered.

"god, fumi are you that stupid? that will ruin the fun. and besides, if she does tell tendo what is he gonna do?"

the three girls then got up from the bench and proceeded to walk home, chuckling and reminiscing about the prank they just pulled on y/n.

tendo's pov (but not really)

As the volleyball team was packing up practice, tendo heard his name being said from outside of the gym and he wanted to check out what was happening. to his surprise, he saw y/n chatting with a group of girls he recognized from school.

immediately, tendo began to feel a sick, stomach churning feeling when he realized what was going on. he didn't know for sure, but he had a good feeling that the girls were talking to y/n about him, and not in a good way. so in order for him to find out, he had to listen in on their conversation.

he slowly inched closer to the group, getting near enough to make out their discussion without being seen.

"let's get straight to the point: tendo is a monster. and i mean that in the most straight forward way. its already bad enough he looks like one, but the fact that he acts like one too, really seals the deal"

Monster.

those words rang in his ears while his mind was repeating it over and over again. sure, he has been called by this name and other harsh words since he was a child, but why did it hurt him so much more that someone was talking about him this way to y/n? the last thing he wanted was for one of the people he considered a friend (outside the volleyball team) to be scared or terrified of him.

after hearing the awful things the girls said about tendo, he swiftly headed back to the gym to grab his bag. He wanted to be alone for a while, so instead of going back to his dorm with Ushijima, he made his way to his house. while turning the corner to cross the street, lo and behold he saw none other than y/n herself.

Tendo didn't dare to talk to y/n and instead took the long way home to avoid any interaction with her. as he walked, the conversation he overheard was replaying in his mind like a broken record. Does she hate me now. fuck. shes probably terrified of me. i mean who wouldn't be ? just look at me. maybe i am a monster...

a/n: sorry this took me longer to write than expected. i didn't really know how to end it so lets just leave it off here. :)
