Please, love me too

"Nice of you to join us now Ushijima." Semi wears a devilish smirk when he stares directly into Ushijima's olive eyes. He runs his hand through his hair and exhales deeply.

You furrow your brows, confused by Semi's statement.

Ushijima tries to calm himself down but you feel his arms tighten your small frame closer to him. "You noticed?" Ushijima's words tumble out between pants.

"How could I not with Tendō's bright red hair? Not many people have red hair in Miyagi." Semi looks away.

"Wait...you were following us?" You look away from Semi and turn your attention to Ushijima. Ushijima avoids your gaze and question completely.

"Why did you take Y/N on a date Semi? I thought...I thought you said."

Semi is quick to cut Ushijima off from speaking further. "What about you? Why did you follow us here? What made you run to Y/N? You have to know the emotion you're feeling right now, right?"

Ushijima grows silent in response to Semi's badgering questions. Semi then slowly stands up and picks up the picnic basket next to him. "Answer my question to Y/N. I'm going to give Tendō an earful."

"Wait, Eita." You call out to Semi, half expecting him to walk off still but he stops when you're the one to call out to him. He lowers his sharp brown eyes to your face. A gloss shines over them and you feel a sadness within your chest when you look at him. "The picnic blanket and the strawberry daifuku. Aren't you forgetting about those."

He shakes his head slightly. "You can bring the blanket back to me for my next practice and I bought the daifuku especially for you so make sure to eat them." Semi leaves the moment he answers your question.

You try to turn slightly to watch Semi leave but Ushijima holds you firmly in place. "Don't look back at him." Ushijima's tone painfully slips through his clench teeth. Your heart skips from his tone. His eyes narrow on your face and the fear from earlier still shines in his eyes.

"Do you...Do you want to sit down Toshi? I'm sure you're getting tired of squatting."

He shakes his head in defiance, his arms pulling you closer against his chest. Your face practically gets squished into his chest from his broad arms. "I don't want the smallest chance of you leaving my grasp."

Your hands lightly slap his chest. "You're about to not have me at all if you're straining me from breathing Toshi!" Your voice is muffled but Ushijima catches your words. He's quick to release his hold on you.

Redden in the face, you point to the empty spot on the blanket beside you. "Stop being stubborn and sit down. I won't leave, I promise."

Ushijima eyes you for a moment, hesitating. Your steely eyes look directly into his. "I said I promise Toshi. I won't leave your side."

He gets the hint from your serious tone and finally stands up and walks over to sit to your right side where Semi previously was. You inhale sharply, filling your lungs with fresh air. An awkward silence looms between the two of you.
