What a cold tower he was, Tsukishima. almost like a skyscraper, birds flying by him and all what he does is make fun of them and throw harsh and mean comments.
Tsukishima had always been... scary, to say the most. if he looked at someone, he'd lock his gaze with them as if he was reading their deepest secrets. only for him to scoff, smirking his most sarcastic, mocking smirk.
Everyone that interacted with him said that he's intimidating, as if he knows the deepest secrets of everything surrounding him. Yamaguchi, his dearest best friend, had gone used to it.
'he's a good guy once you get to know him, trust!'
Is what most people hear from his best friend, yet they still didn't get to know the real Tsukishima. as if he had a sky reaching thick wall hiding his attire, impossible to pass through.
Somehow, you managed to pass through it. which wrecked the hell out of Tsukishima.
You passed through the wall, as if you were a mouse sneaking through wall cracks silently. only for you to bloom flowers around his tower, causing him to feel... conflicted, to say the least.
Everytime you'd pass by, he'd look towards you, his gaze soft. Tsukishima wasn't the person to investigate into 'lovey-dovey' things, but god, the way you managed to ruin that facade.
Everytime you smiled, laughed, giggled, hell, even if you just looked at him... he would be already a melting puddle on the ground. he feels the butterflies stirring in his stomach, causing him to feel almost annoyed at the unusual feeling.
He would notice every single small detail about you, your favorite snack? always in his bag, just in case, in case... you said you craved it. need help? he's right in front of you, he may throw some sarcastic comment like:
'Aw, needing my help?' Yet, it was the most softest sarcastic comment he has ever thrown.
Tsukishima would stare at you from afar, his gaze almost longing, yearning even. you were sitting alone in the backyard of the school, playing with a random cat that somehow managed to get in.
"Tsukki... don't you think you're staring too much? how about you approach her?"
"No."
Tsukishima blurted, refusing to approach you. he was scared, scared of his own feeling to the point he felt like he'll crash out.
