Part 3: Chapter 23
The school bell rang as everyone returned to their tables. You ended your talk with Michiko and returned to your seat, flashing Tsukishima a smile.
The blonde gave you a small smile before returning to his stoic expression. Taking your seat, you turned back and faced him. "You need to smile more often Kei-kun. No wonder you've such little friends. I bet people ran away when they see your face."
Tsukishima gave you an annoyed look, flicking your forehead. "I just so happen to enjoy solitude, thank you very much."
You rubbed your forehead, directing a glare towards the smirking male. "One of these days, the friends that you have is gonna leave you if your personality doesn't change."
"I'm okay with that idea because I won't be completely alone. I'll have you by my side till the end and that's enough for me." Tsukishima replied, a soft smile directed towards you.
Your cheeks burst into flames as you look away, mumbling. "Even if I didn't make that promise, it's not like I'll abandon you. "
Chuckling, the middle blocker ruffled your hair while you complained how it's going to mess up your hair.
The front door slammed open as Yukino entered the class, causing everyone to face the front except for you two who were still in their own world.
Yukino took her place at the teacher's desk, eyes scanning her students. When she landed on the sight of her top students, Yukino let out a sigh. "I'm gonna separate the two of you if you two are going to continue to be like this every time I enter the class."
The entire class burst into laughter as the two lovebirds froze in their seats, their cheeks turning a bright red.
You faced the front once more, burying your face in your arms - too embarrassed to look at your classmates. Meanwhile, Tsukishima turned his head to the side and looked out the window - his red ears giving him away.
"Alright, settle down class." Yukino waited for the class to quieten down before continuing, "As many of you know, the cultural festival is just a few days away. I hope that Class 1-4 has already something plan."
Excitement buzzed throughout the class as chatters filled the air. Yukino let out a chuckle at her students' enthusiasm before addressing you and Tsukishima. "Tsukishima-san and Ukai-san, will you like to share your ideas with the class?"
Your face broke out into a grin, the earlier embarrassment long forgotten. Standing up, you made your way to the front of the class. You faced your classmates who gave you their attention when you noticed a certain somebody remaining in their seat.
(E/C) eyes narrowed into a glare as you hissed. "String Bean, get your ass to the front of the class now!"
Instead of doing as told, Tsukishima gave you a lazy smirk - not moving at all. Everyone was on the edge of the seat as you marched towards the blonde's table, curious to see how it will turn out.
You wanted to wipe off the smug smile on Tsukishima's face, seething with anger. Tsukishima leaned against his arm, golden orbs not leaving your figure.
The next few minutes, a commotion could be heard coming from Class 1-4. Shock was written all over your classmates' faces as you took Tsukishima by the ear and pulled him to the front of the class.
Tsukishima winced at the pain coming from his right ear, his body awkwardly bent in half as you dragged him. When you released the Megane, he rubbed his ears and hissed in pain. "What the hell is your problem?! That really hurts!"
Crossing your arms, you answered. "Serves you right. If you've listened to me and get your ass to the front of the class, you could have avoided that."
The temperature in the class rose as the two volleyball players glared at one another. The class sweat dropped, wondering why they shipped the two of you in the first place when it's evident that it spells disaster.
Irk marks appeared on Yukino, finding it irritating that the two of you are wasting her time with your childish antics. She stood in front of you two who turned to face her, surprised to see your teacher's face. Out of nowhere, Yukino pinched both your and Tsukishima's ears. "Get on with your presentation and stop wasting everyone's time! I still have a lesson to conduct after this!"
Both of you quickly apologized as Yukino released your ears. Ignoring the throbbing pain coming from your left ear, you forced a smile on your face as you addressed the class. "So, the class decided on having a themed cafe for the cultural festival. After a long time of arguing, Kei-kun and I have decided on a theme. Do you guys want to hear it?"
Your classmates let out a chorus "yes", excitement shining in your eyes. Your lips curled into a giant grin as you presented the theme. "We're having a volleyball-themed cafe! Yay!"
A breeze blew through the quiet classroom as everyone gave you blank looks. A frown replaced your grin as you stared at your classmates' reaction. Turning to face Tsukishima, you asked. "Where did I go wrong? Was I not exciting enough?"
Tsukishima gave a shrug in reply, wanting this to be over so he could return to his desk and sleep. Facing the front once more, you said. "What's wrong? Do you guys not like the theme?"
Michiko was the one who spoke on behalf of the class. "Seriously? A volleyball-themed cafe? Out of everything you could've chosen, you chose volleyball."
"What's wrong with volleyball? It's an awesome sport." Your frown deepened.
Tsukishima rolled his eyes at your gullibility, taking his place next to you. "Baka, not everyone likes volleyball like you do. So, of course, they won't be that excited."
You glanced up at Tsukishima with a scowl. "Who are you to call me an idiot? You like volleyball as well, don't you?"
"Not as much as you."
"What's wrong with loving volleyball?"
Tsukishima simply facepalmed while you stood there with a confused look. The blonde let out a sigh, thinking to himself why he always must do everything himself. Giving the class a blank look, he explained. "We'll change the theme if any of you have other ideas."
Everyone simply gave him blank looks.
"I shall take that as a no. Then, we shall go with volleyball theme. Period." Tsukishima's words were final as he returned to his desk.
Class 1-4 let out groans, wishing that they haven't picked volleyball players to be their representatives. It was no secret that you would have chosen volleyball as the theme considering how much you love volleyball.
You still couldn't understand why people were upset with your idea since you have decided to invite some special people to Karasuno's cultural festival and thought that having a volleyball-themed cafe will suit them.
"I don't get it why none of you likes the idea of a volleyball-themed cafe." You said.
Michiko let out a sigh as she explained. "(nickname)-chan, not everyone likes volleyball like you do."
"But I didn't choose volleyball as the theme because I love volleyball."
"You didn't?" Michiko gave you a surprised look which you shook your head in reply.
"No, I chose volleyball as the theme because I have invited volleyball teams from Aoba Johsai, Shiratorizawa, Fukurodani and Nekoma to our school's cultural festival and I thought that having a volleyball-themed classroom will be something they like." You explained innocently.
Once again, a breeze blew through the classroom as everyone gave you blank looks. Now, you were just simply confused by your classmates. Scratching your head, you muttered. "Maybe I should have gone with animal or sea as the theme."
Suddenly, the class burst into a shout of excitement - giving you a scare. You placed a hand on your chest, your heart skipping a beat as you tried to calm. Girls could be heard squealing as they fangirled over the fact that Oikawa from Aoba Johsai will be coming to Karasuno, hearts could be seen in their eyes. Meanwhile, guys are grinning at the idea of meeting some of Japan's famous volleyball players like Bokuto and Ushijima.
Yukino gave you a thumb up as she mouthed the words "Good job!" which you returned with an uneasy smile.
You glanced at Tsukishima who gave you a smile, his eyes telling you how proud he is of you. Pink dusted your cheeks as your classmates began to approach you, saying how much they love your idea.
Looks like everything turns out well in the end.
***
"KEI-KUN, WAIT UP FOR ME!"
Said male stopped in his tracks when he heard you shouting for him. Turning around, he saw your figure running towards him.
Tsukishima raised a brow, curious as to why you stopped him. You stopped in front of him with a bright smile, exclaiming. "Since there's no training today, let's go home together!"
Tsukishima chuckled at your excitement as you grasped his hand subconsciously, dragging him in the direction of home. "Calm down there, Munchkin."
You snapped out of it, your eyes strayed towards both your connected hands. Pink dusted your cheeks as you released your hold on Tsukishima's hand, shyly apologizing. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have just grab your hand out of nowhere."
Tsukishima patted your head and grab your hands, intertwining his fingers with yours. Giving you a soft smile, he said "It's alright. Besides I like it."
Despite the zoo creating a rampage in your stomach, you gave Tsukishima a shy smile, tightening your hold on his hands. The entire way home, neither of you let go of each other's hands.
There's was a light skip in your steps as you hummed a tune, feeling joyful for no reasons. Tsukishima glanced at the petite girl, adoration glimmering in his eyes. He found this side of you cute and wish that you will show it more often.
A comfortable silence fell between the two teenagers as they enjoyed each other's presence.
Despite the peaceful atmosphere, a war was being waged in your mind. You glanced at Tsukishima, only to avert your eyes when he lifted his brows. Focusing on the cracks in the pavements, you bit your lips in frustration â wondering how you should approach this.
You have no clue how to ask Tsukishima to go shopping with you.
That's right. You were having an inner turmoil over this little problem of yours. With the cultural festival coming up next week, there's a lot of things that needed to be done and that includes getting supplies.
Since you and Tsukishima were in-charged of your class' event, it's your responsibility to get whatever the class needs to successfully pull off the café.
As your house draws closer, you became more nervous which didn't go unnoticed by a certain blonde.
Tsukishima noticed that you've acting weirdly for the past 10 minutes. The cheerful nature disappeared, replaced by frustration. He was curious and wanted to ask what's going on in that mind of yours but decided not to since it isn't in his business.
However, seeing the frown on your face, Tsukishima couldn't help but ask. "Are you okay? You've been rather quiet for the past 10 minutes. Is something the matter?"
Your head snapped up at Tsukishima's questions. Golden orbs bore in your (e/c) ones, showing his worry and concern towards you. The two of you stopped in the middle of the walkway, not saying anything and staring at one another.
Your heart began to pick up speed, unable to tear your eyes away from the blonde towering over you. Tsukishima's eyes softened and ignoring the butterflies in his stomach, his hand reached out and caressed your cheeks.
Closing your eyes, you leaned into Tsukishima's touch â his caress chasing away your troubled thoughts. Hesitantly, the blonde wrapped an arm around your waist and pulled you into his embrace â your head resting against his chest.
Your body relaxed as your hands grabbed lightly onto Tsukishima's uniform. The two of you stood in each other's arms, enjoying the warmth emitted from both bodies. Once more, Tsukishima asked, his tone gentle. "Do you wanna tell me what's going on in your mind? It's not healthy to bottle it up."
"Says the one who keeps his feelings tightly under lock and key." You murmured, afraid that you will spoil the moment if you speak too loudly.
Tsukishima scowled at you, hitting you lightly on your head. "Shut up."
Chuckling, you glanced up at Tsukishima with a small smile. Tsukishima looked away with red cheeks, finding the way how you stared at him adorable.
You glanced into Tsukishima's eyes, looking for answers. The intensity of his eyes left you breathless â a warm feeling reaching your toes. You must have found what you were looking for because you could feel the nervousness leaving you.
Tsukishima's eyes heart rate spike up in the way how you stared at him with big doe-like eyes, pink colouring your cheeks. Your lips curled into a shy smile, peeking from underneath your long lashes. "Are you free this Saturday?"
"Huh?" Tsukishima replied dumbly, too focused on your face.
Rolling your eyes, you moved away from Tsukishima. Placing your arms on your hips, you fixed the blonde a stern look and repeated your question. "I asked if you're free this Saturday. We need to get supplies for our class' cultural festival event."
Tsukishima blinked his eyes, only to frown when he realized that you were no longer in his arms. Pushing away the disappointment, he replied. "I should be free this Saturday."
A giant grin appeared on your face. "Great! I'll meet you at the park near our houses at 9 am on Saturday. It's a date!"
Tsukishima could only stand there with a blank expression as you opened your house door and entered, shutting the door behind you. It took Tsukishima a long time before your words sank into his brain.
His cheeks burst into flames as he finally reacted, rooted to the ground with his jaws hanging.
What had just happened?
Time skip brought to you by Aone's non-existent eyebrows
"How was school today (nickname)?"
"It was great Nii-chan! Thanks for asking! I got a lot of school work to do so I'll be in my room!"
Keishin blinked his eyes as his sister zoomed past him and up the stairs, barely catching your reply. He could hear your room door slamming shut. Shrugging, Ukai returned to preparing dinner â used to your random behaviour.
Leaning against your door, you dropped your bag unto the floor as you sank to your knees. You could feel your cheeks flaming â the red spots refusing to disappear. Placing a hand on your chest, you could your heart beating wildly.
You couldn't believe you have basically just ask Tsukishima out on a date.
You needed to vent to someone or else you feel like you're going to die.
Scrambling for your phone, you dialled a familiar number and muttered. "Come on, come on. Pick up."
Your eyes lit up with relief as the person on the other side picks up. "Hello, Michiko he- "
"MI-CHAN! I'M SUCH A FOOL! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I DID THAT!" You cut your friend off.
On the other side of the phone, Michiko winced at the loudness of your voice. She stared at her phone with a blank look, having an idea of what's going on. Letting out a sigh, Michiko spoke into the phone once more.
"Are you done screaming? I'm gonna end this call if all you're gonna do is scream."
Your lips curled into a sheepish smile, your tone apologetic as you replied. "Sorry, I panicked back that didn't I?"
"You don't say." Michiko sarcastically replied.
Both of you laughed and you felt much better as some of the tension dissipated.
"So, what seems to be the problem? I take it that it must be an emergency, or else you won't have called me."
"What? No! I don't call you just because I have an emergency!" You protested, feeling slightly offended that your best friend would think this way.
"90% of the time you call is because you have an emergency, while the other 10% is to complain about Tsukishima-san or that you're hungry."
You could practically feel Michiko rolling her eyes.
Knowing that if the two of you were to argue, the phone call will never end. Leaving this for another day, you explained why you called in the first place. "Fine, you win this time round. Anyway, the reason why I called is that I may or may not have asked Tsukishima to go on a date with me."
"..."
"..."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER ON?! YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID SO IN THE BEGINNING INSTEAD OF SCREAMING SOME OTHER NONSENSE!"
It was your turn to wince as Michiko screeched into your ears.
However, the screaming wasn't stopping anytime soon. Having enough of it, you screamed into your phone â hoping to get your friend's attention.
"MI-CHAN, STOP SCREAMING! I CAN'T GO ON IF YOU KEEP ON SCREAMING!"
"DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME WHAT TO DO WOMAN! I'M OLDER THAN YOU!"
The impromptu date with Tsukishima was long forgotten as the screaming match between you and Michiko escalated.
***
You glanced at your watch nervously, checking to see if you aren't late. In fact, you were 30 minutes early. Smoothing your clothes, you made sure nothing was out of place. After all, you didn't want to ruin the effort Michiko put into dressing you up.
A small smile appeared when you remembered what happened this morning. It all started with your best friend bursting into your bedroom and scaring the living shit out of you.
"(NICKNAME)-CHAN! WAKE UP! WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO WASTE!"
You jolted out of bed at the loud banging of your door and Michiko's screaming. Blinking blearily, you rubbed your eyes. When you were much more awake, you gave Michiko a glare. "What the hell, Mi-chan?! What are you doing so early in my house?"
Marching right up to you, Michiko pulled you out of bed and pushed you towards the bathroom. "Today's your date with Tsukishima-san, right? Well, we need to get you ready. You can't go on a date looking like a slob."
Glancing back at your friend, you protested. "Firstly, it's not a date. We're just going to shop for supplies! Secondly, I do not dress like a slob!"
Rolling her eyes, Michiko replied. "You were the one who told me that you asked Tsukishima-san on a date. So, stop lying to me. Also, you do dress like a slob. You're a girl, yet all you owe are shorts and shirts!"
With that, Michiko shoved you into the bathroom and locked the door. "You're not coming out until you showered and brush your teeth. Get to it now! We don't have time to waste!"
You let out a sigh, deciding that there was no point in arguing with your best friend once she sets her mind on something.
30 minutes later...
"You look amazing! Oh, my baby girl is all grown up!" You gave Michiko a weird look as she stood there sobbing like a baby.
Feeling curious as to how you look like, you ignored Michiko's cries and turned to face the mirror. You were taken aback by the sight greeting you.
A reflection that you didn't recognize stared back at you. (A/N: It's up to your imagination how reader-chan looks.)
Turning back to face Michiko, you hugged her. "You didn't really have to do this for me. But thank you, Mi-chan."
Mi-chan tightened her hold on you, replying. "You don't have to thank me. Besides, we're best friends. Although I do expect you to do the same for me when I have a date with a cute guy."
You laughed as your friend winked at you - reminiscing the days where you two played together. You couldn't have asked for a better friend.
"You're early."
You lifted your head when you heard a familiar voice. Tsukishima stood before you, dressed in jeans and a pullover with a dinosaur image. A smile grew on your lips at the sight of the dinosaur, you couldn't help but find it endearing instead of childish.
"Nice pullover." You smirked, your arms crossed.
Tsukishima looked down at his pullover before glancing up at you again, scowling. "Do you have a problem with me wearing this pullover?"
"Nope, I just thought it looks cute on you that's all." You shrugged before walking away, leaving a blushing mess of Tsukishima behind.
Time skipped brought to you buy Hinata's unintelligible words
Tsukishima stood one side with a scowl, his arms full of shopping bags while you fangirled over a new manga. (e/c) eyes were sparkling with excitement as you made weird high-pitched noises, attracting attention to yourself.
The original plan was to shop for supplies that are needed for your class café. Everything was going smoothly as plan until the two of you walked passed a bookstore and the new manga that you've waiting for ages to come out caught your attention.
Hence, here you are with your nose in the manga while Tsukishima stood to one side â carrying all the items for you. Sometimes the blonde wondered why he loves you.
"Kei? Is that you? What are you doing here?"
Tsukishima's attention shifted to the owner of the voice, a familiar face staring back at him. Standing before him was none other than Yui and next to her was the red-haired basketball player, Kagami. His scowl deepened as he shifted his attention back to you, his classmates doing the same and simply replied, "Her."
You lifted your head away from the manga when you heard Tsukishima, (e/c) eyes lit in recognition when you saw your Kagami. Abandoning the manga, you ran towards the red-haired â ignoring Yui who waved at you.
"Kagami-kun! The new manga that we're talking about the other day is finally released!" You exclaimed.
Kagami's eyes widened before grabbing your wrist and dragging you back to the bookstore. "Where? Show me!"
Tsukishima watched with narrow eyes at the way how you and Kagami interacted, jealously bubbling within him. Yui simply smirked, standing next to the blonde â her eyes fixed on her classmates. "You know, they make a cute pair. What do you think Kei?"
The blonde's eyes snapped towards his friend, a scowl on his face. "Tch. Whatever."
Yui laughed at her friend's answer while Tsukishima stood there with arms crossed, sulking.
Meanwhile back at the bookstore, a certain (h/c)-haired girl was watching her two classmates with a frown on her a face. Your frown deepened as Tsukishima hooked an arm around Yui's neck while his other hand ruffled her hair as Yui tried to escape â laughter coming from their directions.
"Oi! Are you okay? You look like you're ready to murder anyone who crosses your path."
You snapped out of it when you heard Kagami. Plastering a fake smile on your face, you faced the red-haired. "Sorry. I must have daze out. What were you saying again?"
Kagami raised a brow, noticing the fake smile you were wearing. "I was asking if you're alright. The way how you stare at Megane-kun and Yui-san look like you're ready to murder them in their sleep."
"That sounds like a great plan." You muttered darkly, causing Kagami to take a step back with wide eyes.
"You know if you're just jealous, you should just admit it instead of planning to murder an innocent person." Irk marks appeared on your face when you saw the smug look on Kagami's face.
"Maybe I should plan on murdering you instead. Yes, that sounds like a splendid plan." You rose to your feet, an evil look on your face â a dark aura surrounding you.
Kagami could be heard screaming for miles as he ran for his dear life.
***
"That's it! I've enough of with the two of you! The entire afternoon I was being dragged into your game of "Who can make the other one more jealous?". It's super frustrating! Why can't you just admit that you're jealous instead of fuelling the jealousy even more?!"
Both you and Tsukishima glared at one another as Yui scolded the two of you. The black-haired girl glanced at her two stubborn classmates and face-palmed when she realised that neither of you was listening to her.
Ever since the two of you met Yui and Kagami, they decided to tag along on your shopping trip. It all went well in the beginning until Kagami took a bite out of your ice-cream causing you to climb all over him as you attempted to get your revenge by taking a bite out of his ice-cream.
Being the jealous little piece of shit that Tsukishima was, he decided to make you jealous as well by acting all intimate with Yui â making the poor girl all confused and flustered. Of course, you saw it and grew jealous as well.
Instead of telling each other straight to the face that you're jealous, you two decided to see who can make each other more jealous â roping Kagami and Yui in who were innocent.
Having enough of your childish game, Yui took you both by the arms and dragged you to the nearby park where she began scolding the two of you.
However, seeing how neither of you was listening to her, Yui simply let out a sigh and turned to Kagami with a helpless look. "I'm done. They refused to listen to me. It's your turn, Kagami-kun. Maybe they'll listen to you."
Kagami gave Yui a hesitant look as she pushed him forward and gestured for him to do something about the bickering couple before them. Shrugging, Kagami did the first thing that came to his mind.
And that was to push both your heads together, resulting you and Tsukishima kissing each other on the lips.
(e/c) and golden eyes widened in shock as both your lips met one another, unable to do anything.
"Kagami-kun! That isn't what I meant by doing something!" Yui shouted, a look of horror on her face.
Immediately, Kagami released his hold on the two of you and began apologizing profusely. "I'm so sorry! I just did whatever came to my mind first!"
However, neither of you heard the panicking red-haired who was currently being strangled to death by Yui as both of you were caught in your own world.
The only thing you could hear was the beating of your own heart, drowning out other noises. You stared at Tsukishima with wide eyes â your lips tingling from the accident kiss earlier on. Your cheeks reddened, bringing shame to tomatoes as a zoo exploded in your stomach.
Instead of feeling embarrassed or nervous, you felt happy.
Meanwhile, Tsukishima simply sat there frozen, his heart racing a mile per hour. He wanted to be angry towards the basketball player for doing this to him, but he couldn't bring himself to be angry. Instead, he feels a tingling sensation starting from his lips where you kissed him spreading throughout his body â leaving him on cloud nine.
Both you and Tsukishima continued to stare at one another â (e/c) and golden clashing with all sort of emotions neither one has felt so strongly before. Before either of you could stop it, you found yourself leaning in towards one another â the gap between you and Tsukishima closing.
3 cm.
Your eyes fluttered shut.
2 cm.
You could feel Tsukishima's breath.
1 cm.
Your lips brushed against Tsukishima's lips.
0 cm.
"I SAID I'M ALREADY SORRY YUI-SAN! PLEASE DON'T STRANGLING ME!"
Kagami's shout shattered the atmosphere that you and Tsukishima have ongoing, causing your eyes to snap open. You let out a shriek when you noticed how close Tsukishima's face wasâ he was basically invading your personal face!
Your face burst into a million shades of red as you smacked Tsukishima in the heat of the moment, shrieking. "What are you trying to do?!"
Tsukishima grimaced when he felt pain blossoming across his cheek, a scowl forming on his face. Your eyes widened in horror when you realised what you did. Squishing Tsukishima's cheeks in-between your hands, you moved his head left and right to access the damage you inflicted on him while apologizing profusely.
"I'm so sorry Kei-kun! I didn't mean to hit you. It was just in the heat of the moment since your face was so close to me and I freak out!"
Grabbing onto your wrist, Tsukishima stopped your frantic movement â his vision a daze. When he regained his senses, he looked you into the eyes and noticed that there were tears gathered in the corner of your eyes.
Letting out a sigh, the volleyball player brought you into a hug and stroked your hair â comforting you. "It's alright. I know you didn't do it on purpose. So, calm down."
You took in a shuddering breath, leaning into the blonde â his heartbeat calming you down. The two of you stayed there way, forgetting that Yui and Kagami were still arguing in the background â oblivious to their surroundings.
"Ne Kei-kun, do you think Yui-san and Kagami-kun made a cute pair?"
"For once, you're using your brain."
"Hey! I always use my brain okay?! Or else I won't have been the strategist of our volleyball team!"
"Whatever makes you sleep at night."
Was this shopping a date or disaster with Tsukishima? You will never know the answer to that. But what you do know is that, maybe just maybe, Tsukishima returns your feelings.
Hence, this concludes your shopping date with a certain dinosaur lover.
***
Bonus:
"I don't know if I should feel thankful or angry towards you Kagami-kun."
"H-huh? What do you mean by that?"
"What you did early on was a genius because you made the two lovebirds kissed one another which was so cute! But on the other hand, you made my rival kissed the guy I'm aiming for! This just lower my chances with Kei!"
"It's not like Megane-kun will return your feelings. Anyone with a pair of working eyes can see that he's head over heels in love with (name)-san."
"What did you say again?"
"N-nothing! Erm, I gotta go! My mom is calling me! Bye!"
"Oh no, you don't. Don't think you can get away easily from me."
"I'M SORRY YUI-SAN!"

A/N: I'm finally back after going MIA for so long! I hope you'll like this chapter and enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. I've lots of fun writing this chapter. We have Kagami to thank for a kissing scene between Reader-chan and Tsukishima to happen (this is my Christmas present to you - my lovely readers.)
Other than that, I'll see you in the next chapter! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!
