Kei never thought he’d be the type to visit hisboyfriend’s matches, especially when said boyfriend was technically a big rivalto his own team, yet here he was.
The Shiratorizawa side of the stands were as lively asever, overwhelmingly purple and with the addition of lively cheerleaders tocreate as much hype as possible. Too noisy, if Kei had anything to say aboutit. But oh well, it wasn’t like he was here for anyone except—
“Wow! Did you see that spike?” Someone in the crowdbehind him spoke with awe, and Kei couldn’t help the small feeling of pride inhis chest. Annoying. “Ushijima is on fire today!”
“Yeah, it feels like more so than usual!”
“Maybe there are scouts somewhere he’s trying toimpress?”
Kei couldn’t help but laugh. Not scouts, Ushijimawouldn’t try so hard for something like that…his motivations were simpler…
Kei felt his face flush, and he bit his lip tosuppress the traitorous smile which wanted to express itself on his face. Belowhim, on the court, Ushijima was getting ready to serve again, and Kei doubtedthe other team would be able to stop it.
The team which Shiratorizawa was up against wassignificantly behind. The gap in points was actually impressive, even tosomeone like Kei. Maybe that was the pride again though.
As Ushijima got ready to serve, Kei saw his eyes dartto the left, scanning the stands until…
Their eyes finally met, for the first time since thegame had started, and Kei felt his breathing stall. Ushijima had been too busybefore then, and Kei had been too stubborn to let the ace know he would bewatching the game until last minute. Instead he’d made a rushed phone callright before warm ups had begun, and the thought of it alone had him feelingmore and more lame.
“I’mcoming to your dumb game, so don’t suck.”
“Youare?”
“Yeah…don’tsound so shocked.”
“I’mnot. I’m just very happy you’ll be there, Kei-kun. I want to see you.”
Ushijima really was an idiot, with his harsh honestyand unexpectedly affectionate words, but Kei acknowledged that it was what heliked best about the ace. He trusted Ushijima to always tell him the truth, notto mislead or sugarcoat things. Communication, which was never Kei’s strongsuit, was easy with him.
Kei liked him. He liked him more than he was ready toadmit aloud, but he hoped it came through with his presence, if nothing else.
Ushijima’s eyes seemed to light up upon finding Kei’s,innocent and gentle in a way which drove Kei mad. The ace’s posture straightened,as if he was about to show off and needed the serve to be perfect.
Lookslike the crowd was right after all.
Ushijima wanted to impress Kei, how stupid. He should’veknown, Kei was already impressed enough by him, in many different ways.
Right before he served, the ace’s eyes drifted furtherdown Kei’s body, smiling slightly before turning away. As the game continued,Kei looked down at himself in confusion, when he finally realized…
The purple shirt, which had the Shiratorizawa teamname printed in bold on the front, had been a genuine gift from Ushijima afterthey’d first started dating. Originally, it had been somewhat embarrassing,since it had some less than appropriate implications. Of course though,Ushijima didn’t see it that way. To him, the thought was for Kei to have apiece of him, and mostly, Kei wore the shirt to bed (god knows he couldn’t wearit around his teammates or in public, not when he was from Karasuno). But today…todayit had seemed appropriate. It was loose on him due to Ushijima’s broaderstature, but otherwise it fit him well, and he couldn’t deny the satisfactionhe felt when Ushijima became noticeably more fired up upon seeing him in it.
Hm,maybe I’ll come to these games more often.

“Are you wearing my shirt?” Ushijima asked after thegame had ended. He was notably sweaty, his hair slightly matted to hisforehead, and he raised his jersey to wipe at his neck. It gave Kei a good viewof his abs, which he hated to admit pleased him greatly. Ushijima was obliviousto Kei’s less than innocent thoughts however, and Kei didn’t know whether to bepeeved or thankful for it.
Kei scowled at him, clutching the bottom of the shirtin question. “Yeah, you gave it to me to wear didn’t you?”
That was the other thing about dating Ushijima, he wascompletely unaffected by any of Kei’s biting remarks.
“Yes, but I didn’t think you would,” the acecontinued, smiling softly. “It looks very good on you. I’m happy to see you.”
Kei felt his face light up, and he swore he sawUshijima’s eyes glint playfully in a rare show of teasing. Kei rolled his eyes,looking around to see if anyone was watching them before he stepped forward,letting Ushijima rest his forehead against his own. It wasn’t enough, but they’dhave time later.
Kei smirked lightly, feeling Ushijima’s hand slowlygrasp his. “Well, I might wear it more often then…when I come to more games.”
Judging from Ushijima’s low chuckle and the way hishand squeezed the blond’s, Kei knew the other was on board with the plan.
