You and Tsukki are close friends.

He wasn't the most annoying, nor the most unbearable person, but with the way he chooses his words was certainly unique.

He'd often rile people up, you included. Of course, you weren't one to back down from that, so the two of you would often bicker with each other.

However, as time passes by, his presence alone fills your stomach with butterflies, and he would sometimes appear here and there in your mind.

You knew that he was quite close to you, and same goes for yourself to him. But the thought of you being in love with the Tsukishima Kei, the one who'd rather mock you and tease you than to tell you affectionate things, it was a mess for sure.

It didn't help the fact that you were the same gender as him. You were a man. And obviously, loving someone who's the same gender as you would be insulted, mocked, and rejected.

But when he confessed to you about his feelings, you can't help but feel ecstatic. He likes you. He feels the same for you. It was unbelievable. Especially since Tsukki didn't seem the type to establish a romantic relationship. Nor did he seem like he would like you.

But you were happy, nonetheless.

You accepted his feelings, telling him that you feel the same way for him. But even if the two of you are now official, you both are aware what your relationship could do in society.

So the two of you decided it'd be best for the relationship to be kept a secret.
