It had been a month after Ushijima (bluntly) asked you to be his girlfriend — influenced by Tendou's confident reassurance and story of how the scenario will go, Ushijima just went for the shot.

Out of panic and clearly intimidated by Tendou's best friend slash Captain and Ace of the men's volleyball team— you blurted out a hurried reply;

"Yes—! I'll go out with you just don't kill me with your spikes!"

Ushijima simply nodded — as if his question didn't look like he was threatening you.

"Good." Was all that the idiot said.

After he asked you out, you found yourself immediately meeting his family and got introduced to his friends. He was really serious — in and out of the court. So far in the relationship, Ushijima seemed like he was following strict steps how to handle the relationships, because god. You eventually warmed up to him, started giving affection and being open with who you really are.

For starters; he just doesn't give any reaction to your flirts. Says thank you when you say something sarcastic and most noticeable is — the two of you never shared Iloveyous.

Right now, you were eating in the cafeteria with your friends when suddenly the table went quiet as a huge shadow loomed behind you. It was Ushijima, his expression stoic per usual.

"Are you free after school?" Ushijima asks his gaze looking down to meet yours.
