summary: it’s been about a month since tsukishima started tutoring you, and you’ve shown signs of liking him, yet he remains as stoic as always… should you admit your feelings or have them remain a secret and move on?
warnings: NOT PROOFREAD. they’re both lowkey annoying in this one. but trust the process? i hope this is ok…
a/n: SORRY. i have been very busy with my schooling, and i had no motivation to write. but ill try to lock in. anyway i hope the written portion isn’t ass since this is basically all it’ll be…. ALSO i found out how to do time stamps so it’ll be easier to understand when the conversation changes… i’ve been trying to make it clear! OKAY ENJOYY
————————————————————————————
truthfully, you had been awake for hours, but you lost track of time.
ever since you peeled open your eyes, you’ve been considering the numerous results of confessing to tsukishima.
you were successful in about 23% of them…
and the cons, unfortunately, outweighed the pros.
this was slowly, but surely, killing you from the inside out.
sure, back in junior high and high school, you had multiple crushes, but you never cared enough to confess—it never mattered this much.
you’ve never felt like this before, and you didn’t even understand it, so how could you possibly deal with it?
honestly, you didn’t know why you liked him so much. he was cocky, cold, and a smart ass. you should be running the opposite way!
yet he drew you back in, without meaning to and without even acknowledging it either.
maybe it was the way his sharp, but calculated, eyes softened when you smiled after getting the answer correct, or how he would lightly bump your hand with his when you walked side by side, never reaching to hold yours but never putting space between you either.
maybe it was because you knew he was different around you. yes, he was still his usual sarcastic self, but it was always playful and never harmful.
he was genuine. it was like that with tadashi, too. he wasn’t directly rude towards him, and you figured that’s because tadashi is his closest friend, but what did you deserve to be awarded this treatment?
and not only was this treatment as kind as he showed tadashi, but it was more delicate and fresh.
it was the complete opposite of the tsukishima everyone knew.
and maybe, just maybe, that’s what kept you in place.
it’s purely my imagination, you denied. you had this contrived idea of tsukishima locked into your memory, and it completely differed from actuality.
to put simply, you romanticized him—or more so the thought of him—and grasped onto that to fuel your desire.
it was truly pathetic, and in no way meant you should confess your unreasonable feelings.
this realization brought your once unrealistic chances down to… 16%.
you sighed as you locked your door and walked down the short hallway to tsukishima’s apartment. you knocked and checked your phone. it read 12:10 PM.
your mood was sour, and honestly you felt no motivation to study. the only thing you were looking forward to was seeing your crush, and that fact alone terrified you.
school came first. always. maybe that’s why in high school, you never had a boyfriend nor had anyone confess their undying love for you.
sure, it was sad. looking back at it now, you feel pity for your sixteen-year-old self as everyone around her fell in love, went to dances, and saw movies with their significant other while she sat at home reading her chemistry book.
but a part of you felt anger, too—you have no clue how to deal with these brand new emotions all because your immature, stupid sixteen-year-old self wanted to study instead of date, like all her other friends were doing.
and where did all of that studying bring her?
to tsukishima kei’s door—her tutor.
pathetic, was becoming a common word in your vocabulary because that was the best word to describe of you felt as of late.
“are you with us still?” his voice broke you out of your insane thoughts.
your eyes came back into focus, and you realized you had been staring at him for god knows how long.
tsukishima’s eyebrows furrowed in confusion, impatience lingering behind his irises—and worry, too?
“sorry! i was just lost in my thoughts. ready to study?”
“are you?” he questioned. tsukishima’s tone lacked sarcasm, and you knew he was being serious, yet you couldn’t bring yourself to use your voice again so you just nodded.
***
an hour later
“no, t-h-e-i-r is a possessive adjective. you use it to describe what a noun belongs to. like their tea and their jacket.”
you nodded in understanding, but tsukishima could tell you weren’t currently in the right headspace, which is why he chose an easy lesson for today.
he hated that he cared—at least cared more than he should. he’s not heartless. but seeing you so distant, so lost in your own thoughts, makes him upset.
because he got used to your loud, outgoing attitude. not only has he learned to tolerate it, but he’s grown to appreciate it.
and he’s scared shitless.
he, like you, has never had a serious crush before. and you were different—you paid attention.
you didn’t stick with him for sex just because he has a nice body or pretty face. you don’t mock him for being interested in such a childish major. and, most importantly, you don’t run away from his sarcastic, degrading personality.
but that didn’t mean you liked him back. hell, he’d be shocked if you did. so he wasn’t going to push you or ask you to be his girlfriend. that’d be stupid. and tsukishima kei isn’t stupid.
unless…
“okay, i gotta leave for work soon,” tsukishima reminded you, and you, of course, just nodded your head. “take this worksheet and complete it. i’ll stop by your place after my shift to check it, okay?”
truthfully, he wanted to see you more (and hear your voice, see your smile, listen to you laugh), and maybe by then you’d be in a better mood.
you perked up a little at his last statement, and tsukishima smirked slightly—so slightly that you missed his smug expression.
“all right,” you replied, standing up from your seat by his desk and stretching your arms towards the ceiling. “bye, tsukki.”
his heart fluttered, reluctantly, and he watched you walk to his door, his eyes trailed every single last movement, like you were never going to be seen again.
what the hell is wrong with me?!
“bye, y/n,” tsukishima got out before you left. you turned around to wave and grace him with that annoyingly beautiful smile before you closed the door and left him alone with his unwanted thoughts.
fuck. he was down bad.
***
NOTES/EXTRAS:
y/n can’t handle emotions well, especially when they’re new (same girl)
tsukishima is the same way
these two are silly
i didn’t mean to make it sad, and i don’t think it is that much but
also y/n is very much improving in english yet does not want these study sessions to end.
summary: you got your answer, but it was very dry and suspicious. but because it’s tsukishima, you leave it alone and move on. then your study sessions progress into… hanging out?
a/n: SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG. please don’t hate me. this is sort of filler since not a lot contributes to the plot... and i tried to make it a bit longer bc i took forever to post this<3
————————————————————————————
NOTES/EXTRAS:
they’re becoming closer…
tsukishima doesn’t want to admit… but he’s not completely annoyed by her
summary: your study session with tsukishima went great! but you find out he lied about something…
a/n: here’s chapter two:) no written portion, but i’m thinking about making one for the next chapter or the one after… depends on where the story goes. anyway i hope you guys enjoy!
————————————————————————————
NOTES/EXTRA:
y/n is so confused
why did he lie?
tadashi and y/n are way closer now
tsukishima didn’t realize they were THAT close that tadashi had been to her house…
he just thought tadashi had this admiration for her
summary: you get tsuki’s number and text him! but he’s not very nice…
a/n: welcome to the first chapter! i hope you guys like it. there is NO written portions this time… i’ll make it obvious when there is. ALSO!! there might be some notes at the bottom hinting at some extra parts of the chapter! ;)
————————————————————————————
NOTES/EXTRA:
tsukishima was (though he’d never admit it) excited to see what the hype was with y/n
yamaguchi praises y/n so much he’s like a little brother
y/n was shaking in her boots. she likes him so much…
summary: you’re in desperate need of a tutor. thankfully, yamaguchi, the wonderful wingman he is, gives you your long time crush’s—tsukishima—number, and it’s a mystery from there! ;)
content: tsukishima kei x fem!reader
warnings: COLLEGE SMAU. reader isn’t dumb she just needs some help :) also mostly fluff. maybe a little angsty at some points? probably not a lot. SWEARING. not really planning on doing any smut… also for the sake of this story tsukishima, yamaguchi, and reader all go to the same college.
a/n: hello! this is not my first smau, but it’s my first series and (just as the duffer brothers did (LMAOOO)) i’m starting this story without having any clue where it’s going! so you’re with me for the ride.
ALSO this story WILL have some written portions, and i’ll be sure to indicate that.

a/n: this was requested by @thenumber8 i hope you enjoy:)
“No.”
He wasn’t being mean, never with you. Just firm and honest—maybe even a hint of hesitation lingered in his voice. You caught onto that, a devious smirk etching its way onto your lips.
Tobio can’t say no to you, not if you keep trying.
“Pleaseeee,” you dragged out, begging for him to set to you at least once. You even brought out the puppy dog eyes.
He had to look away.
“No,” Kageyama repeated, but it was obvious his resolve was wavering. “My sets are complicated. I’ve never played with you before, so I can’t, not without potentially hurting you.”
His reasons made sense, but this was a way of breaking a barrier with your boyfriend. He always refused to play with you, and you knew it was purely out of protection.
But you were stubborn, you were eager, and….
you certainly weren’t giving up.
“You’ve seen me play—”
“Y/n,” he warned.
“Tobio, please,” you whispered, tone serious and lacking your usual playful energy. This was in no shape or form a way to manipulate your oblivious boyfriend—it was just to convince him that he had nothing to worry about.
Kageyama inhaled deeply, and you knew his eyes were closed in thought despite only being able to see the back of his head.
Finally, he spoke, “Okay.”
It was a simple, one-worded sentence, but it lit up your entire demeanor. He somehow always managed to do that.
“Yes!” you celebrated, jumping on his back to engulf him in your arms. Because he still wasn’t facing you, Tobio grunted instead of hugging you back, but you didn’t mind; you understood that if he could, he would, but his arms were preoccupied holding you up. “Thank you, Tobio! You won’t regret it.”
The whole reason you were here was to walk home with him as volleyball practice had finished for the both of you.
But, fortunately for you, Kageyama stayed after with Hinata for extra practice while everyone else went home.
Hinata went to go refill his water, and that’s when you pounced, begging and convincing Kageyama to set to you.
Speaking of your favorite ginger, he suddenly bounced into the gymnasium, still somehow full of energy after a treacherous practice.
He smiled when he saw you on Kageyama’s back. “Y/n!” Hinata exclaimed, sprinting over to you and your boyfriend. “Have you come to join us? Do I finally get to see how you play?”
“Yes, thankfully! Tobio’s going to set for me.”
Hinata gulped, his once joyous attitude dimmed. “Good luck,” he said a little too dully. Your eyes widened, and you glanced at Tobio in confusion.
“Hey, dumbass!” Kageyama shouted as his cheeks reddened. “Don’t scare her. And don’t make me change my mind.”
Hinata shrugged and returned to normal. You swallowed, hard, and regret surfaced in the back of your mind.
No, you repeated over and over in your head. No, this is what you wanted. It can’t be too hard. Nothing will happen, and you’ll prove Tobi wrong…
Right?
Tobio’s hand on your shoulder brought you out of your thoughts. “Ready?” he questioned, his eyes had softened when you looked back at him, and you gave him a smile to confirm.
Then you got into position.
“Okay, Hinata, throw it!”
It happened so quickly. One second, the ginger had the ball in the air, and it immediately fell down onto Kageyama’s prepared hands.
You began running, your eyes noticing Kageyama’s intense, concentrated face, and your heart felt like it would explode.
He had his lips in between his teeth, just slightly, but the butterflies that were always around with him fluttered in your stomach.
Tobio was already your boyfriend, but he would never, ever, make you stop feeling those early, simple crush moments, and that’s what you loved so much about him.
The ball collided with Kageyama’s hands, and he pushed it towards where you were, except you had miscalculated (perhaps due to his striking beauty) and instead of hitting your hand, the ball landed with an echoing SMACK! in the middle of your face.
You fell, as if the volleyball had defeated you in battle. It felt like it had.
You knew you weren’t even that hurt, and the set was beyond perfect. If you weren’t immensely taken aback by your boyfriend’s godly crafted face then that hit could’ve possibly been the best spike of all time (in your career, obviously).
If anything, your ego was injured the most, and that’s why you refused to get up, even with Hinata shaking your shoulder from behind you, screaming something about you probably being dead.
Tobio came around and squatted in front of you.
He smirked, knowing that you were embarrassed rather than hurt, and Kageyama gently pushed your hair behind your ear. He leaned down lower, just close enough so only you could hear what he was about to whisper, that damn confidence etched in every last syllable:
“I told you so.”
