You and Tsukishima share an English class, and sit next to each other often. Recently you've been showing more interest in volleyball, so every now-and-then you'll watch him (and the rest of his team) practice. You've also noticed him acting a little nice than he usually did, especially towards you. Although it's only slightly, not noticeable to most people.

Tsukishima had just finished his usual volleyball practice, and met you by the gym doors after he had finished getting his stuff. As you started to walk home (your houses are in a similar direction from the school), you noticed a very slight smile lingering on his face as he glanced at you.

"how was practice?" You strike up some small talk.

Kei shrugs, "it was alright."
