STRAWBERRY FIELDS!

watching tadashi yamaguchi smile, whether intentionally or not, made y/n l/n's heart burst. he could never get tired of admiring the freckled boy, he was absolutely breathtaking. especially now, smiling as picked strawberries and put them in his basket. every now and then when yamaguchi picked a big one he would turn to y/n and hold it up with a proud smile before putting it in basket along with the rest.

y/n barely even filled his own, he had three in his basket at most. y/n was just happy being yamaguchi's presence, he didn't even like strawberries all that much. y/n overheard the freckled boy tell his friend, tsukishima kei, that he'd wanted to go strawberry picking and y/n jumped on that with no hesitation, inviting yamaguchi to go with him later that day.

y/n watched as yamaguchi pulled out his water bottle and poured the water over one of his strawberries, taking a bite and smiling in content.

yamaguchi's hair bounced as he ran over to y/n, pouring water over another strawberry and holding it out for y/n to try. despite his urge to decline, one sight of yamaguchi's sparkling eyes changed his mind as he took a small bite of the fruit.

"doesn't it taste good?"

y/n only nodded with a soft smile, but yamaguchi seemed to accept that and held up his basket proudly. "i'm finished!"

y/n reached in his basket and plucked the very few berries he picked and dropped them in yamaguchi's. "oh...thank you."

y/n gently grabbed yamaguchi's free hand, "is this okay?" y/n's voice was a little scratchy, having not spoken since he picked yamaguchi up. y/n was just so nervous he didn't want to say anything to make yamaguchi regret coming with him. even so, it didn't seem like yamaguchi minded, he didn't push y/n either.

yamaguchi gave y/n's hand a reassuring squeeze. "it is."

y/n didn't even realize when they arrived at his house, too entranced by yamaguchi's rambling about a new serve he was learning—hoping to perfect it soon.

y/n l/n didn't know it was possible to feel this way about someone, he didn't know one person was capable of making his body physically hurt just at the thought of not being able to see them. tadashi yamaguchi didn't know what kind of hold he had over y/n l/n but maybe that was a good thing.

y/n was still young and unsure of many things. he can't learn unless he goes out and gets experience, but how could he when he's afraid? there's absolutely no way he could talk to his parents, not about a boy. how would they react? would they scold him? kick him out? would they be disgusted—maybe even disappointed?

y/n couldn't bear the thought of disappointing his parents, he wanted their validation, no, he needed it. y/n wanted his parents to be proud of him, he wanted them in his life as long as he could have them.

"l/n?" yamaguchi's worried voice snapped him out of his daze. y/n's pulled his hand away from yamaguchi's quickly, taking a few steps away from him. "are you okay?"

"stay away from me!" no, that's not what i wanted to say! "go away, i don't ever want to see your disgusting face again!" shut up! y/n's body reacted on its own and ran inside, leaving the freckled boy outside in a state of shock.

yamaguchi was confused. so confused he stood frozen in front of y/n's for a few minutes. what had happened? everything was going fine, so what was with y/n's mood change?

was this some kind of game to y/n? did he want to hurt him? yamaguchi didn't know, and he didn't dwell on it any longer. at least now he knew how y/n felt about him.

one thing tadashi yamaguchi knew for sure was that he never wanted to see y/n l/n again.

NOTE.
