"Oi Tsukishima! Are you interested in any girl?" Tanaka, Tsukishima's teammate and senior called him out with yet another annoying question. Tsukishima just scoffed at his teammate and ignored him, walking to the exit door of the gym. They had just finished training, so why bother with a chit-chat? "O-Oi!! At least answer your senior!"
"Sorry about him, Tanaka-san. Guess he's in a hurry... But, to answer your question, he does have a girl in his mind. Do you know that third year who would be seen with Kiyoko-san from the art club?" Yamaguchi answered the senior on Tsukishima behalf. Which made the other teammates who were in the gym with the two looked at him with shocked look. "What!?" Oh Tsukishima would have to deal with their shenanigans tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Tsukishima entered the art club room while searching for a certain girl around the room. The room was a mess, as usual would be seen. With paints dropping onto the floor, brushes and other art tools scattered everywhere. There was no one by this hour since most of the club members had gone back home, except one person. Amidst the calm after hours at Karasuno high, he found her sitting by the window. What a beauty as the shade golden hours kissed her figure. She looked so peaceful just sitting there painting her fantasy.
This girl, who had captured his heart, his neighbor, and his childhood friend since their parents were friends, was the said girl in his mind. Though he kept the thought to himself. He approached her with a straight face, not even a single word to not bother her. He cared deeply for her, ever since some traumatic events back during their childhood, he became protective over her. He just, didn't want to lose her. Only watching her at peace like she was now, he was relieved.
When she put down her brush, he brought his hand on her head gently. He tried not to startle her but it seemed he did. "Hey, it's me. Sorry." His tone was soft contrast from the expressionless face he wore.
