It's probably selfish of him to be jealous - after all, you're not even dating! It's your fault, actually.

Even though it's not like him, Ushijima often asks for something more, something that isn't brief and fleeting, something that means he won't be your rebound anymore.

Ushijima has always been attentive, calm, someone good - he treats you well, used to remember dates, he was there on your birthday when midnight struck.

So even when he does so much for you, why are you still rejecting him? Why are you still looking at others from Shiratorizawa?

This is one of those moments when you're doing it. Ushijima tried to get you to pay attention to him by speaking loudly to the other players, secretly asking Tendō to approach you and falsely say that Ushijima was being annoying to him, just so you'd scold him when you were alone.

It didn't work. 'Why,' you ask? Because you're too busy looking at Goshiki. My goodness, really? Look, Ushijima has absolutely nothing against Goshiki, but is that bowl-cut hair really drawing you in? That's bothering Ushijima.

Overflowing with anxiety, he had to confront you. Ushijima's meaty palms grabbed your chin, slamming your body against the wall -

well, he discreetly called you out of the gym, just to crush his lips against yours. He's always been so calm, he doesn't understand why he's like this. Actually, he shouldn't be like this.

But you're kind of worth the risk. "Why are you looking at him so much, damn it?" The brunette grumbled, his lips sliding from yours to your jawline.

"Look at me," Ushijima growled in your ear, biting your earlobe.
