Changes

Chapter 1

Living with Ushijima was rough. He got up and went to bed early. And he wasn't quite about it either.

Your family had a small farm and Ushi loved the relaxing feeling of watering the plants before the sun had risen. Usually before or after watering he'll go on his morning run.

As much as you didn't want to you got out of bed and prepared for another Thursday at school. When there wasn't a match for Ushi, there was practice and you liked to join and watch the boys. Ushijima was in his third and final year of school and his last year of high school volleyball. He planned on playing pro after but wasn't fully convinced he wanted to. He just wanted to make your parents proud. You were in your second year, and your favorite by far.

You heard Ushi make his way up the stairs, his room across from yours. A gentle knock broke the silence and he opened the door slightly.

"We have school today you know? Get up and I'll make breakfast today."

You and Ushi took turns making each other breakfast but his was always better. Your parents worked early and late so it was hard to see them before and after school. But you guys didn't mind, you understand and appreciated their hard work.

Getting ready for school, you put your uniform on and styled your hair.

Man I am so sick of these uniforms.

You finished getting ready, grabbed your bad and phone and opened the door. You heard the shower running and knew Ushi had already been on his run.

Entering the kitchen and getting a glass of water, you sat on the counter and started answering texts on your phone. Setting your phone down you walked around the kitchen looking for something to snack on.

A little time went by and you were getting impatient, but your phone started to ring.

Odd.

You picked it up and saw the caller ID.

Toriiiiii

Why is Tendou calling me this early?....Why is Tendou calling me in general?

It was literally almost 7 am. School started at 8:15.

You picked the phone up and greeted him. Silence
returned you from his end. "Ten...you there?"

More silence. Then he spoke. Your heart dropped.

"Y-y/n...I need your help. Please. I need you to bring some of your makeup."

Your eyebrows drew together and your mind started racing, trying to decipher his words.

"Tendou, is everything okay? What kind of makeup...you mean like concealer?"

"Yeah the stuff that helps cover things up. I don't have time for chit-chat y/n. We can talk when you get here."

Excuse me? He has NEVER spoken to me this way...what's wrong with him? He needs makeup??Oh-

"Fine. Am I meeting you at your house? And I expect some sort of answer this time." He confirmed with you and hung up.

Quickly you wrote a note telling Ushi that he took to long and you would stop at a convenience store on your way. You ran up the stairs to your room and scrambled through your makeup.

Hmmm...where's the lighter shade? Tendou is pretty pale and you should have one that's close.

After looking for a little you found it. You slipped it into your pocket and left.

Tendou only lived about a 15 minute walk away but you got there in about 9. Your thoughts had bounced around your head the entire time, trying to figure out what happened.
