Late night talk by the lake

Tendō puckers his lips out. He sits across from Semi who's quietly studying at the dining table of his home. He's unsure how things took a turn like this. This week has been an odd one with him spending more time with Semi than he's ever had since their high school year as freshmen's.

It wasn't like anyone roped him into spending time with Semi either.

Tendō just couldn't quite leave Semi alone after witnessing his meltdown last week.

However, he is curious to what Ushijima and Y/N have been up to.

The two haven't made a presence in their group since the day they got together.

He had a feeling it's because Y/N wasn't sure where she stood with Semi. Plus Ushijima who hasn't gotten the closure to talk to Semi about the situation.

"Say Semi..." Tendō tries to speak up in the awkward silence. Semi keeps his eyes glued to the book he's reading. "When are you going to talk to Ushi? It's been a week."

Semi's eyes stop mid sentence on the paragraph he's reading. He raises his head up slowly and casts his eyes over to the clock on the microwave. The time was already 9:25PM. "Shouldn't you head home Tendō? It's late."

Puffing out his cheeks, Tendō furrows his brows together. "Are you dodging my question Semi?"

At that moment Mrs. Semi walks into the kitchen with a yawn. She blinks her sleepy tears away and wears a look of surprise when she sees the two boys still in the dining room. "You two are still up? Should I make a late night snack for the two of you?"

Semi slowly sits up and shakes his head. "Tendō is actually leaving. Don't worry mom."

"I'm what?" Semi walks over and tugs Tendō out of the chair, practically forcing him out of the dining room and towards the front entrance.

"You're leaving." Semi speaks in a low tone, his teeth clench together. Not wanting to infuriate Semi, Tendō seals his lips shut after saying goodnight to his mother.

"You're welcome here anytime Tendō!" Mrs. Semi calls out before there's a close of the front door. Semi stands outside with Tendō, ruffling his ash blonde hair with a scrunch to his face.

"Why are you waiting outside with me for Semi? Are you walking me home?" Tendō playfully jokes while Semi remains silent. His face is contorting into a troubled expression.

"I shouldn't ignore him, right? Like you said, it's been a week." Semi finds his voice, speaking softly and slowly as if he's speaking more to himself than confiding to Tendō. The cool spring air fills his tight chest. He also wanted an excuse to see Y/N. Despite how much he needs to get over her-- he misses her.

Tendō nods his head enthusiastically. "Let's go visit him now! I'm sure he's still awake." Tendō turns around on the heel of his feet but Semi calls out to him.
