The days were passing quickly.
You felt so relieved to be able to confide in at least one person.
You had also started to increase your communication with those around you little by little. You were no longer afraid to like before.
And you owed it all to Tsukishima and the others.
When you entered your classroom, you talked and complained about homework with a few of your classmates.
At the end of the lesson, an orange hair sticking out of the classroom door caught your eye.
You noticed his excitement from afar.
Hinata
He came to you and started talking excitedly. "We are participating in the Interhigh!”
Hinata
Ah! I can't sit still. I'm so excited.
He had been talking all through the break.
Hinata
Uh, I have to go now! See you at noon.
Y/n
"I'll never understand how you can be so energetic." You mumbled with a chuckle.
You started to think about the news that Hinata had given You.
Y/n
"I wonder if Tsukishima is this excited? I'd love to see him excited." You started to smile involuntarily with the face you were trying to imagine.
Unfortunately, when it was lunch break, you hadn't seen the faces you wanted to see in the entire class.
Tsukishima sat there with the same emotionless expression.
Hinata
You're just in time. We were just talking about the Interhigh.
Kageyama
Not that much. After all, I participated in tournaments in middle school too. He said.
But it was noticeable that he was excited.
Y/n
"I see." You said with giggled.
Y/n
You turned your gaze to Tsukishima and thought. "He's really not excited at all, is he?"
Y/n
"He doesn't seem to want to talk much when it comes to volleyball and club talk, but I'm curious." You thought.
Y/n
"I want him to trust me and rely on me, just as I trust him." You thought.
You asked, wanting to try your luck.
Y/n
What about you Tsukishima? Are you excited?
Tsukishima
He looked at you with a frown and replied emotionlessly "Why should I be excited, it's just a tournament?"
Y/n
You continued, a little hesitantly. “I mean, this will be your first high school tournament after all. Isn’t it exciting to think about the matches you’ll play and the possibility of winning?”
Tsukishima
He spoke even colder, "Even if we win, what difference does it make? Sooner or later we will lose to someone."
You kept quiet, thinking that pushing harder wouldn't help, but Hinata spoke up.
Hinata
Hey! Why are you so pessimistic? If we can't win, we'll try again and again until we win, that's it.
Tsukishima
It's not worth the trouble. If you want it that bad you can try but don't confuse me.
Hinata
Aren't we on the same team? Of course, we should work together.
Yamaguchi
Guys, don't argue.
Yamaguchi
Tsukki, forget about it. Let's continue eating.
Yamaguchi
Hinata, we'll talk later, don't force
Tsukishima
I'm done. I'm leaving first.
Yamaguchi
Huh? Wait Tsukki...
Y/n
I finished it too. I'll follow him. You continue.
You felt bad for bringing this up and forcing it.
You caught up with Tsukishima in the hallway.
Y/n
You called after him to wait. "Tsukishima wait!"
Tsukishima
When he came to you, he turned to you and said, "You can come back, I'm going to class."
Y/n
No, I want to come with you.
Y/n
Do you want to sit in the garden like last time? Don't worry, we'll just sit, I won't talk.
Tsukishima
Uh.... okay, let it be.
No matter how much you wanted to talk, you actually sat there without talking until lunch break was over.
Tsukishima
As the bell rang, Tsukishima stood up from his seat and turned to you, saying, "See you." and started walking towards The school.
Y/n
You said goodbye but he had already moved away.
For a while now, Hinata and Kageyama haven't had much time to meet up, as they've decided to train during their lunch breaks for the upcoming tournament.
Yamaguchi would occasionally leave early to join Hinata and Kageyama.
Even though Tsukishima came to eat, he ate quickly and returned to class.
No matter how much you tried to talk, it wouldn't go any further than sitting in the garden without saying a word.
Y/n
uh... It feels like I'm back to square one again.
You decided to give it some time and slowly try to get back to your old self.
Time passed and the Interhigh had started. But according to the news you received afterwards, they had lost the match in their Third match.
