*Yams pov*

It's a rather lazy Sunday at my house, even with tsukki here. We just ate lunch and now we're in my room playing Mario cart... tsukki keeps winning.

I swear he's cheating somehow!

He wins again and I sigh "let's do something else" I say scratching the back of my neck "why? You tired of loosing?" Tsukki says laughing a bit at me, he's always like this... Rude and sarcastic... But that's not all there is to him... There is a side only I get to see, the side that shows his true self... The side of him that holds everything he loves... There are some things only I know and notice, like how when anyone says an incorrect fact about dinosaurs, how he gets frustrated

Or when he sees a strawberry shortcake... And his face lights up... I love that look on his face... I love him...

"Tadashi?? Hello? Wake up." Tsukki says snapping in front of my face awakening me from my trance

"Sorry tsukki! I spaced out..." I say laughing a bit "I could tell... You were staring at me" Tsukki says rolling his eyes "sorry again tsukki" I say looking to the side a bit "what were you even thinking about anyways?" He asks

"Oh nothing important, don't worry about it" I say, but that's a lie... Because tsukki is important...and he is always in my thought... Ever since we first met...when he saved me from those bullies...i could never get him out of my head...i love him so much... But I can't tell him that, it would ruin our friendship.

"Alright..." Tsukki says and then pulls out his phone starting to look though some stuff.

That's when my mom knocks on the door and opens it "hey boys, I was wondering if you two could go pick up a few items from the store for me. I need them to make dinner" She says smiling

"Sure mom" I say getting up from my spot on the floor, tsukki does the same. We get our stuff and leave the house, walking to the bus stop.

Tsukki had his earbuds in as we waited for the bus to arrive, I checked the time and the bus should be here soon. We just have to wait a bit.

I listen to all the sounds around as, birds chirping, dogs barking around the corner, faint talking from the people walking by... It was nice.

But nice things don't last forever.

"Hey! Tsukishima! Over here!" It's kuroo, standing across the street from us. Why was he here?? He lives in Tokyo!

He jogs over to us while I'm thinking

"Why are you here?" Tsukki asks looking annoyed at the sight of kuroo

"Kenmas visiting hinata, his mom asked me to come here with him so he doesn't get lost! I just went for a walk and I saw you two, how ya been?" Kuroo says

"We were better before you arrived, that's for sure." Tsukki says

I stay quiet, not rlly knowing kuroo all to well so I don't know what to say, but then kuroo swings an arm around tsukkis shoulder and I can't help but get mad at this. "Oh cmon, don't be like that!" Kuroo says and tsukki rolls his eyes.

That's when finally we see the bus approaching "uh hey... The bus is almost here and we have something to do... So... Could you just..." I didn't finish my sentence expecting kuroo to understand

"Oh cool! What are you guys doing?" He asks, completely not understand what I was trying to tell him

"We're going to the store to buy a few things" Tsukki says

"Can I tag along?" Kuroo asks

"Are you gonna follow us even if we tell you no?" Tsukki says

"Yup!" Kuroo says

Me and tsukki both sigh and when bus gets there we go in kuroo following us, he continues to follow us around and talk to us as we go to the shops and buy the things we need.

Soon enough we have about half of the things we need, but kuroo only seems to get more and more annoying by the minute! and he keeps taking tsukki away from me when I try to talk to him! Tsukki looks annoyed as well but kuroo isn't taking the hints that he should leave.

"Hey... Shouldn't you be getting back to kenma and hinata?" I say

"No, I texted kenma already... He just said alright" Kuroo says shrugging once again not taking the hint

"...but... You probably should get back... So me a tsukki can keep shopping and finish already so we can get back to my house" I say

"I'm not stopping you!" Kuroo says his tone getting slightly defensive

"You kinda are..." I say quietly

Kuroo seems a bit angered by this "I'm not that annoying. And how am I stopping you from shopping?" He says

"...cuz... You keep distracting tsukki and showing his things... As if he didn't go to these shops at least twice a week." I say crossing my arms, tsukki is completely silent... Tho I can see the surprise in his eyes... Surprise and confusion...

"It sounds to me like your just jealous that 'tsukki' is paying more attention to me than you. I mean it's not like he belongs to you." Kuroo says, he specifically says 'tsukki' in a mocking way knowing only I call him that

"I never said that..." I say

"Ya know what, hey tsukishima. Why don't you and I spend some time together today? We don't get to hang out a lot and we could practice some volleyball. How's about it?" Kuroo says

"But... Me and tsukki were hanging out today" I say

Tsukki speaks up before kuroo does

"Tadashi, we hang out everyday. Maybe just today I could practice with kuroo. I need to get better at my blocking." Tsukki says

"But..." Before I can finish kuroo says something "great, I'll call kenma and hinata and they can meet up with us at your schools gym and we can all practice" He says

Tsukki looks like he is going to say something but then looks over at me, worry flashing threw his eyes "tadashi, are you alright?" He asks in his usual monotone voice

I hadn't even realized how much I had teared up... I don't know why, but my insides were boiling. I guess I really am jealous of their relationship...

I shake me head no at tsukki "sorry tsukki." I say wiping my eyes a bit "go, have fun. I'll finish the shopping and just go home, maybe I can meet up with you guys later" I say

"That won't be necessary." Kuroo says quick to shut me down.

Tsukki says nothing once again

I can't help but tear up once again "sorry..." I say as I turn and start to walk across the street quickly wanting to get out of there before I burst into tears.

I'm half way across when I hear tsukki yell "TADASHI!!!"

And then everything goes black

I hear voices around me

But I can't see anything... My ears are ringing too...

I can't move my body... Or open my eyes... I'm sleepy... What's going on? I almost give in to sleep when I hear tsukkis voice, it's panicked... Why?

"Tadashi! Stay awake! Cmon please! Open your eyes!" He says

I try to but I can't... Im so tired... I just wanna sleep... I keep hearing voices... My head hurts... Can the people be quiet..? I can feel myself giving into the darkness.. And the voices fade... I can't stay awake... Sorry tsukki...

a/n: Hey, I'm thinking about making a happy ending but you guys could decide if you want. I'm just making this because I'm bored. But I hope you guys enjoy this at least. bye.

He never quite understood your love for flowers. They were just as meaningless to him as most things in the world. Quite similar to humans, flowers are born from a seed and continue to grow until their day of passing. To Tsukishima, there was nothing about them that was worth adoring.

“Look how beautiful they are, Kei!” you would exclaim as the two of you would walk past the local flower shop on your way back from school.

“Uh huh,” was his typical reply as he would keep on walking by, not even bothering to give the shop a second glance.

“Can we go inside today?”

“No.”

“Please?”

“No.”

That heavy puff of air would be released from your lungs in a sign of annoyance as you crossed your arms. Just because you were dating him didn’t mean you loved everything about him, especially not his carefree attitude that nearly drove you crazy. “Fine. Then I’ll just go in by myself.”

He would roll his eyes at your stubbornness but nevertheless, follow you in any way. Despite his dislike for flowers, what he did enjoy seeing was the overjoyed expression that would appear on your face when you walked past the various rows of vibrant plants. Nothing brought a smile to your face quicker than seeing the beautiful, iridescent colors.

“Welcome back,” the usual clerk would say as she tended to the shop, recognizing you instantly. You always made it your routine to stop in the shop once a day, occasionally buying a few flowers for yourself.

Like every other day, you would wave back at the clerk as Tsukishima put his headphones on. It’s what he would usually do to keep himself busy since you insisted so much to look over every inch of the small shop. The clerk couldn’t stop her eyes from following you as you walked around. She admired your dedication to regularly check back in to see what new plants had arrived. It wasn’t something many people did and it’s what made you special.

“You know,” the clerk said, “I see you here quite often buying flowers. Pick out any flower you want and it’ll be on the house.”

Your smile grew impossibly wider in delight. “Oh, thank you!”

As happy as you were from the offer, picking out just a single flower proved to be a difficult feat for you. They were all far too beautiful for you to choose a favorite. Moving over to Tsukishima, you pulled off his headphones, earning an annoyed glare from the blonde-haired man.

“I need help picking out a flower, Kei,” you whined, wrapping your arms around his neck.

“Just grab a rose or something,” he muttered. He leaned over you and grabbed the red rose from the container. You scowled at the flower in hand.

“Roses are so basic. Pick something else!”

He rolled his eyes at your antics but obliged anyway. Skimming his eyes across the rows of flowers before him, he didn’t stop looking before his eyes landed upon a specific flower. Removing your arms from him, he made his way over to the flower and pulled it out from the container. You watched him curiously as he handed the yellow tulip to you.

“Interesting choice,” the clerk commented. “While red tulips symbolize undying love and adoration for your significant other, yellow tulips represent a bitter-sweet love; an odd, yet special love. It’s a love you feel that you can’t explain with mere words; it’s a romance lacking any logic, yet you love them anyway.”

You beamed at Tsukishima who, for the first time since entering the shop, smirked. “That sounds about right.”

You shoved him playfully after hearing his words and he embraced you into a hug. It was a rare show of affection for him and you cherished every second of it.

Even to this day, Tsukishima still finds himself thinking back to that day; thinking back to how happy you looked.

...****************...

Tsukishima refused to give you flowers no matter what special occasion it was. That yellow tulip was the only flower he had ever given you and you always kept it with you. You did your best to keep it alive but eventually, like all flowers, it wilted. You didn’t dare to discard the dead flower, though. No, you preserved what you could of it. That single flower reminded you of a day you spend with Tsukishima that you never wanted to forget.

It was only on the day of your two-year anniversary that he finally gave in. Normally on a special occasion such as that one, he would shower you with kisses and cuddles to make up for the lack of affection in normal circumstances. This time, he wanted to make the day as special for you as he possibly could. He absolutely despised flowers, but he was willing to do whatever it took to make you happy starting with going to that flower shop you adored.

The same clerk came out the second she heard the bell above the door ring and smiled when she recognized him, his expression as unreadable as ever. He obviously looked out of place as he walked past each row of flowers.

“Do you need some help?” the clerk asked as she walked out from behind the counter.

He shoved his hands into his pockets and looked away, refusing to look her in the eye. “Yeah,” he mumbled.

“Is it for that girlfriend of yours?” she inquired, earning a nod as a response. “How has she been? Is she still sick?”

“No.”

Realizing that she wasn’t going to get much else out of him, she changed the subject. “Well, what’s the special occasion? And do you have anything in mind?”

“Anniversary and just do whatever you think would look nice.”

Without saying anything more, he put his headphones on the clerk went to work in the back, already knowing exactly what bouquet she should make. It was much different than most bouquets she made, but it was fitting for this certain couple.

Before long, Tsukishima removed his headphones when he noticed the clerk walking toward him holding the bouquet made up of red and yellow tulips as well as a few baby’s breath stems. He couldn’t help but smile when he saw it, remembering the day he picked out the yellow tulip for you and how overjoyed you looked.

“The red and yellow tulips together offer a great message. Despite how your love for her may have no logic behind it, it’s still as strong as any other love and it has no limits.”

He gave her his thanks and handed her the money owed before exiting the shop. The message conveyed in the bouquet was stronger than any words he could possibly give to you. He could only hope you liked his small present to you.

...****************...

He didn’t know why, but he was nervous as he approached you. Never before did he find himself this nervous, not even before a game. He always managed to maintain a calm demeanor even under the most strenuous situations. Despite that, he still found his hands shaking against his will as he gripped the bouquet tightly.

“Happy anniversary, [name],” he said. “Hope you like the flowers. It was almost painful to be in that shop so you better feel lucky that I love you.”

He chuckled to himself and tears pooled in the corner of his eyes. Normally, he would swipe them away. He wouldn’t dare cry in front of someone, especially not you. But now, he didn’t have the strength to hide his emotions.

“Normally, we would just be curled up together on my bed and I’d be kissing you. If only we could go back to that. I wouldn’t have to get these damn flowers.”

There was no response from you - not that he was expecting anything different. He felt his chest tighten and he knew he couldn’t be near you much longer. The pain he’s been trying so hard to conceal was rising. The last thing he needed was more looks of pity from his teammates.

With a single tear rolling down his cheek, he leaned down and placed the bouquet of flowers right on top of the wilted tulip that was once yellow.

Everyone who walked past your grave would see his unlogical love for you would forever be undying.

"tadashi, are you alright?" He asks in his usual monotone voice

I hadn't even realized how much I had teared up... I don't know why, but my insides were boiling. I guess I really am jealous of their relationship...

I shake me head no at tsukki "sorry tsukki." I say wiping my eyes a bit "go, have fun. I'll finish the shopping and just go home, maybe I can meet up with you guys later" I say

"That won't be necessary." Kuroo says quick to shut me down.

Tsukki says nothing once again

I can't help but tear up once again "sorry..." I say as I turn and start to walk across the street quickly wanting to get out of there before I burst into tears.

I'm half way across when I hear tsukki yell "TADASHI!!!"

And then everything goes black

...****************...

*Tsukkis pov*

I was talking to kuroo telling him what he was said to tadashi was completely uncalled for and that he should apologize to him. I look over at tadashi... To call him back over but he's already halfway across the street.

Wait... Theres... A car... Going way to fast... Heading straight for... "TADASHI!!!" I yell at the top of my lungs hoping a miracle would happen... And that he would just get out of the way...

He turns for a second... But it's too late...

I run over to his bloody and bruised body laying on the ground...

I hold his limp self in my arms

He won't open his eyes.

"Tadashi! Stay awake! Come on!" I say... But to no avail... He won't open his eyes... Oh god tadashi... Please let this be a nightmare... You can't leave me before I can tell you... Please... wake up... I want you yo wake... I want to know your ok... So I can tell you everything...

Next thing I know it we are both in an ambulance, being taken to the hospital... I can't help but cry...

(-at the hospital-)

They called tadashis mom, she came to the hospital right away... Asking me what happened and if I was ok... But I'm fine... Tadashi is the one who got hit...

Next my brother shows up... He hugs me... And also asks if I'm ok... Why are they asking if I'm ok? I'm standing here... Tadashi isn't... Tadashi should be here... Maybe if I had just... Made him stay... Made kuroo leave... "Kei... I know what you must be thinking right now... But this is not in any way shape or form your fault." Akiteru says but it only makes more tears flood down my face "...i could've stopped this..." I say hating how my voice cracks but there's nothing I can really do about it.

"No, Kei... There is nothing you could've done... Things just happen the way they happen... We can't stop them..." He says

I stay quiet biting my lip tightly.

It felt like an eternity before they said tadashi was conscious and we could go see him, I walked slowly over to his room... I'm worried about how he will react to seeing me...

I keep walking till I'm in the room, he has a broken arm and leg... He won't be able to play volleyball for a while...

It's all my fault

"Tsukki.." I hear tadashi say, I look over at him and he continues to speak "...im sorry tsukki... I wasn't looking where I was walking... I probably caused you to worry a lot..." He says.

Why would he apologize? He did nothing wrong! It's my fault this happened. I could've stopped it...

"No tadashi. This was not your fault at all. It's mine... I could have stopped you... I could've made you stay... I could've noticed the car before-" I'm cut off from my sentence when tadashi yells "shut up!! This wasn't your fault!! I'm the one that got jealous! I'm the one that stormed off without thinking! I just... I didn't like seeing kuroo act all close to you when he barely knows you!! It wasn't fair how he could just swoop in and take you away from me... I felt like I lost you... I know it was only going to be for a day but... Tsukki..." Tadashi pauses taking a deep breath before continuing "...I love you... I always have... And...I don't want to be separated from you... Ever" Tadashi finishes looking down at his lap

I don't know what took over my body, but I walk over to him and gently grab his chin lifting his head up... Then... I plant a kiss on his lips

*tadashis pov*

Tsukki kissed me... TSUKKI KISSED ME!!!!

I kiss back after freaking out in my head a bit

He pulls away first and says "I love you too idiot... And I'm not leaving you any time soon, so stop thinking that"

I can't hold back my tears of joy "s-sorry tsukki..." I say laughing a bit

a/n: Happy ending :)
