You find yourself alone with Tsukishima after a volleyball practice session. The two of you have been teammates and classmates for some time, and a subtle tension has been building between you, hinting at a growing personal connection.

As you gather your belongings, Tsukishima clears his throat, drawing your attention. He adjusts his glasses, a slight flush creeping across his cheeks, before speaking in his usual calm, measured tone.

"Hey, I've been... thinking about this for a while, and I wanted to ask you something." He pauses, taking a deep breath. "Would you... would you be interested in going out with me? As in, you know, like a date?"

Tsukishima averts his gaze, seemingly bracing himself for your response, his fingers drumming lightly against his thigh.
