He had never met someone like you. Someone so unique and beautiful. You had just transferred to Date Tech last month and within those 4 weeks you had become madly popular for your unique style and fashion. Even with the school provided uniform you managed to style it in a way that could keep the original aspects and incorporated your own gyaru style within it.
You had become the talk of the school within less than 2 months, honestly it was kind of overwhelming with people constantly coming up to you and surrounding you 24/7, you needed to get a break from everything and everyone.
It was around noon when you finally managed to get away from everyone. You sat outside the gym near a large ginkgo tree, the golden triangular leaves bristled in the wind. The lunch your mother had packed for you this morning was packed in a small light pink bento box with small hearts and bows on it.
As it opened with a small click, the aroma of whatever your mother had made you wafted out and began to fill your nose. The box was filled with seasoned rice, steamed vegetables, chicken katsu and some various pieces of fruit. A pretty balanced lunch in your opinion.
The sound of footsteps coming this way made you look up from your lunch to meet your gaze with what you thought to be a human polar bear. It was a tall boy with light hair and an intense gaze. You recognized him from the boys’ volleyball team, Takanobu Aone. He stared at you for a moment before walking over and sitting down near you with his own lunch.
He didn’t seem to mind your presence nor was he vying for your attention like everyone else, if you were being honest, it was pretty refreshing. There was a long moment of silence between you two before you summoned the courage to speak with him. “You’re Aone, right?” he simply nodded while continuing to consume his lunch.
After a few more moments of awkward silence you mustered the courage to talk with him. “Is volleyball fun? I mean playing it, obviously..” he turned his head slightly before giving a curt nod and going back to eating his food.
You sigh softly, a bit saddened after not getting much of a reply from the stoic boy until he cleared his throat and turned to you directly. “You are quite popular, aren’t you? Why choose to sit with me?” You stared at your lunch before smiling at him “Because you’re different! You’re unique!” He tilted his head with a confused look painted on his features.
“N-Not in a bad way! I mean, you’re unique in a good way, you’re like me. You don’t seem to care what others see you as. And you seem pretty kind from what I’ve heard from my friends, even if this is our first time actually meeting.” He looked away which made you think he was mad but you then noticed his ears were burning a pale red making you chuckle softly.
The school bell rang to indicate that the lunch period was over. You both began to pack up your lunches before you tapped him on his shoulder making him turn back to face you. “When’s your next volleyball game? I’d love to watch you play!” You exclaimed with a genuine smile while pulling out your phone which had a pink phone case covered with small stickers and charms and handed it to him, opened on the calendar app.
He stared at it before taking it in his hand and inputting the date and time on your phone. “My team should be playing in the main gymnasium, it's the Sendai City Gymnasium.” he muttered as you gave him a small side hug making him freeze up before you ran off to your class. “Thanks Aone! See you there!”
You were putting on your makeup as your mother knocked on your door and opened it. “Honey, we have to go now if you wanna get good seats for your friend’s game.” You finished with your eyeliner before grabbing your purse and running out the door to your mom’s car as she smiled at you.
The car ride to the gym where Date Tech was playing, stayed relatively calm until you reached the parking lot near the gym which was bustling full of other cars wishing to park like any other. You heard your mother sigh before she turned to you “Honey, would you mind going ahead to get us some seats while I park the car?” You nodded before opening the door and climbing out. “I’ll make sure to get us some good seats with a central view of the game!”
You walked around the bustling gym, careful to make sure you didn’t lose any of your accessories and to find where the Date Tech game was going to take place. There were several different teams from around Miyagi all getting ready for their matches. You managed to find where Date Tech was playing before sitting down in the second row.
As all the teams filed into the gym you stood up before looking around frantically for any sign of Date Tech, you left the house pretty early but you didn’t realize you had missed their first match which was yesterday but you were glad to at least watch their second match!
Date Tech filed into the gym before starting to practice while in front of your area. Aone was practicing his blocks with Futakuchi, a second year you’d heard about from your friends. “Aone!” you shouted while leaning against the railing and waving to him with a bright smile on your face. “I came to watch you play!”
Aone turned to face you as Futakuchi smirked at him with a knowing look in his eyes. He raised his hand to wave back at you, a small smile touched his lips which made you smile brighter. You noticed the rival team seemed sort of tense while practicing but there was a ginger-headed boy who seemed like he was bouncing off the walls to play, he was sorta like a wild animal.
As the match began you smiled at him while mouthing the words ‘good luck’, making him look away with a slightly flushed and embarrassed face before Futakuchi who nudged him in the arm “What did you do to get the new girl to like you?” Aone turned to him before muttering “She likes me because we’re both different.” Futakuchi looked at him with confusion before rolling his eyes “Seems like she broke through the stoic and tough exterior that you put up.” he remarked before going back to practicing.
You sat back down with your mom not seeing how Aone was staring up at you in the stands before he turned away to stretch, thinking about how you had chosen to sit with him during lunch and how you smiled at him despite only knowing each other for a day.
Date Tech had lost but Aone and the team didn’t seem upset, sure they lost the Interhigh Preliminaries in the second round, but it also showed them what they could improve or practice for in their future matches.
You stood by the exit holding two small keychain gachapon capsules you had bought at the nearby store during the break between sets. You turned before smiling and waving him over as Futakuchi pushed him in your direction.
“Hey, Aone! I’m sorry that you lost your match.” you remarked with a small smile as Aone simply nodded “It’s ok. What do you have in your hand?” You looked down at your hand which held the capsules before taking his hand and placing one of them in his palm. “It’s a good luck charm! For next time you play or just in general!”
You opened the capsule with a small click to reveal a turtle keychain with a serious expression and missing eyebrows. “Hey, it's so cute! And it looks just like you, Aone!” while holding up the keychain to the side of his face as he opened his own capsule to reveal another turtle keychain, this time it had a smile and a small pink bow on its head.
“And this one looks like you.” He said while holding the keychain to your face like you did moments earlier. You laughed making him tilt his head before a small smile formed on his own face. “I suppose we both have good luck charms.” he added while you hugged him before running off to your mom’s car “See you at school, Aone!”
The days after that match you guys spent together eating lunch, studying and watching him practice after school. He often watched you put on your makeup and you watched him block the spikes in the gym.
Your school bags sat next to each other against the gym wall, your matching keychains both hanging from the bags as if holding hands like you and Aone often like to do.
