it’s finally done. it’s finally done. it’s finally done.
You and Tsukishima? Everyone is waiting for you guys to just say that you’re dating. I mean so are you but besides that. You were at a game that you thought you wouldn’t be able to make– you told him that you wouldn’t be able to make it because of a club meeting that was suddenly being held.
You were beyond pissed; Tsukishima was going to make a comment but saw your face and an aura that was willing to murder the next person who would tick you off. You grumbled the entire time how the club was idiotic for not being organized while Tsukishima laughed and tried to reassure you that it was fine while you two walked to the gym. Usually he would walk you to the front or your club but since it was game day he had to be there earlier than usual.
You kept fidgeting with something in your cardigan pocket throughout the entire time. You had made him a good luck charm, an omamori, awhile back but didn’t have the courage to give it to him. You were still nervous but you decided that today was going to be the day.
“Tsu- here- you’re going to win. No matter what. This is a charm so, I’ll be sure to cheer you on always even if I’m not there physically,” you pressed the charm into his hand.
Tsukishima thumbed the charm gently and had a warm feeling in his chest. He thanked you and was going to give you a hug when you saw the doors to the gym crash open causing you to yelp in the sudden loud sound. You were greeted by the sight of the team getting ready to go to their game location all chaotic and loud. You bowed hastily to the team and ended up leaving after wishing them luck on their game.
The club meeting ended earlier than you anticipated, and you best know that you sprinted to the bus stop to the neighboring high school that was holding the volleyball match. You caught the very next bus and you navigated yourself to the gym and collapsed onto the bleachers that was sectioned off for Karusuno. But, there you were in the bleachers right behind the black banner, wearing his other jersey that you got from him the other day. Hitoka was fretting over you as you were trying to catch your breath.
“It’s for a project in one of my classes, I promise I’ll return it if you need it.”
Yeah, the project was you wearing it and cheering your head off for your crush. You were clutching on the rails looking for the scoreboard: it was the second set and Karusuno was behind by two points, the opponents already reaching the 20 point mark, Karusuno took the first set already. Your body moved by yourself, “KARUSUNO FIGHT!” you yelled as loudly as you could. You saw the team look up at you while you waved furiously and returned with goofy smiles and waves back, teasing Tsukishima seeing that you were wearing his other jersey. Tsukishima widened his eyes seeing you after telling him you weren’t able to make it.
You gave him a wide smile and pointed to the jersey and made the number eleven using your pointer fingers then crossing them into an X. It was a sign that you had made up for him: Number 11, mark your presence on the court. He nodded and acted cool but inside, he was getting fired up. Before you could say anything, it was match point for Karusuno and the opponent was a point behind. You and Hitoka were both holding your breath.
The ball was served by Yamaguchi like the last three times, this time it was retrieved by the opponent. You saw the setter and the ace. You saw everything in slow motion: Tsukishima and Kageyama jumping, the volleyball, where was it? Where? Was it an one-touch? Where? Then you saw it falling to the opponent’s court.
You leaned forward and yelled with pure joy, “TSUKI-SHIMA- NICE SHUT OUT! THAT’S MY MAN THERE! TSUKI-SHIMA!!” you were waving, jumping up and down with Hitoka.
Everyone on Karusuno’s team was celebrating laughing and ruffling each other’s hair and just enjoying the hard work that was finally paying off.
“Y/N! Come on let’s go down to the gym to congratulate them!” Hitoka said while she was practically dragging you from the railing.
What you didn’t notice was Tsukishima blushing furiously when he heard you cheering for him. The other team members were teasing him to no end.
“You're Y/N’s man now? I wonder why we didn’t hear about it yet.”
“Shut up.”
The team reached to the entrance of the gym and you were already waiting there and flung yourself into Tsukishima’s arms and hugging him.
“You were amazing out there! I’m so proud of you and you should be proud of yourself!” you were rambling while looking up at him.
“Y/N.”
“Yeah?”
He grabbed your face and kissed you. Not the messy hot passionate kiss but it was a kiss that lingered for a second and he closed his eyes afterwards and touched his forehead with yours and said softly, “Thank you for cheering on for me. You ignited something inside of me that I didn’t think was possible.” You were blushing furiously when he let you go and saw the team behind him gawking at him and you.
“OI ARE YA’LL DATING OR NOT?”
You looked over to the team still gawking over the fact that Tsukishima was being affectionate with someone. You felt his arms loosely go over your shoulder as he slightly leaned down to face his teammates with a cocky smirk on his face.
“Eh? I shouldn’t have to answer that to you guys. Besides, why should-,” he was cut off with a glare from the third years.
They just wanted the best for him but sometimes he really pushed their buttons. They could tell that whatever you guys had kept dragging on for awhile and just wanted it to be official already.
“but, since they’re oh so eager to know the details of my life – what’d you say we make it official?” he scoffed out looking at you.
He softened his expression just for a minute and whispered to where you could only hear it, “besides, I think you’re my lucky charm on the court, please keep cheering on for me.”
You smiled and kissed him on his cheek.
“You finally asked. Of course, Tsu. I’ll be there to cheer you on no matter what.”
