Ｔｒｕｔｈ Ｓｅｅｋｅｒ ( Ushijima X Reader Alternate Universe )

ch.6 house visit

■3rd Person POV■

It's been three months since Y/N Ushijima met after Oikawa's ghost haunts him. Today again after not seeing each other for a week, Ushijima and Y/N decide to meet at the cafe near Ushijima's workplace to share what each other have found. 

Y/N is looking around the cafe looking for an empty space but all of the seats are full. Just then Y/N felt a presence behind her and looks back. Ushijima is standing, staring at her.

Ushijima: what's wrong?

Y/N: um Ushijima san, there's no vacant seat.... what should we do?

Oikawa looks around and sees that the cafe is packed today.

Oikawa: she's right... no empty place...

Ushijima looks around and then he thinks for a bit. He doesn't really like to talk about that case in random places. This place used to be the place where he talks about it with his team, the other place is.

Ushijima: Let's go to my house...

Y/N looks up and Oikawa turns his head at Ushijima.

Oikawa: what??? why your house Ushiwaka

Ushijima: actually I keep all of the data in the workspace at my house... I don't really like talking about that case in places other than my office, this place, and my house.

Y/N: um Okay then... but should we order something for takeaway? I... want to grab the cinnamon rolls from before...

Y/N's face is a little flushed, embarrassed for stating her craves for sweets. Seeing her liking the sweets just like his late friend makes Ushijima smile.

Ushijima: sure...

Ushijima is driving while Y/N sits in the passenger seat. Oikawa has been mumbling nonstop.

Oikawa: don't you dare to take her to your room! don't make a move on her! Make sure you give her what she wants, order something right away if she's hungry-

Ushijima: are you okay with going to my place?

Y/N looks up at Ushijima and tilts her head a little.

Y/N: uh... yes I'm fine with it, I can see more of the data there too right? if... if you allow me to

Ushijima nods his head, Oikawaa is a little pissed because Y/N seems okay to go to Ushijima's place. Though Oikawa knew Ushijima isn't someone who's going to take advantage of a woman, he couldn't help it, after all, Y/N is very beautiful in his eyes, and he's sure other men would think the same.

■Y/N's POV■

We arrived at a pretty big house and Ushijima san park his car in the garage. Ushijima san is putting the password on his lock and opens the door. He moves aside a little and tells me to get inside. I look around Ushijima san's place, it's very tidy and looks like him.

Ushijima: please sit down wherever you like, or you can go to my workspace in the room at the corner of the hall on the 2nd floor... I'm going to take a plate for your cinnamon rolls

Y/N: oh... right, thank you so much.... 

I walk through the hallway in Ushijima san's apartment. There are some photos on the wall that I think probably are his family. I push the door open and look inside, seeing the room is filled with stacks of files and maps on the wall. I walk around, making sure that I don't bump into anything important.

Then my eyes fell on a photo frame on his desk. There are four people there, Ushijima san, Semi san, Ohira san and.

Ushijima: the person with red hair is Tendo Satoru...

I look back to see Ushijima san places the tray on his hands on the coffee table. Ushijima san walks closer and stands next to me. He stares at the photo, probably reminiscing about the time Tendo san still around.

Ushijima: so do you learn anything new from Iwaizumi san?

Y/N: ah yes....

Ushijima san and I sit on the sofa, I told him that Iwaizumi still hasn't got anything that could lead the work of Gold Chains inside the Aoba group, but he says he will try to pry more next week, there will be a conference with so many people from other companies too.

Ushijima: I see... make sure to tell Iwaizumi san to be careful...

Y/N: yes... Iwaizumi san is really close to Tooru... I know he loses him as much as I did...

Ushijima san looks to his side for a sec and then back at me.

Ushijima: they're childhood friends right?

Y/N: yes... I met the two in high school and eventually became close to them... I found their friendship is amazing...

I couldn't help but chuckle, remember those days when Iwaizumi would scold Tooru and the would start bickering.

Ushijima: Tendo, Semi, Ohira, and I were in the same academy... and after working in different places, we ended up at our current office...

I could see that Ushijima san's eyes looking at the photo again. We talk about Tooru and Tendo san, sharing how they were when they are still alive.

■3rd Person POV■

Y/n and Ushijima talk about their days with Oikawa and Tendo. Letting each other knows about their friend and lover more. It leads them to talk about the Gold Chains Organization again. Oikawa couldn't help but lock his gaze at Y/N as she talks about him, and Ushijima too. The two realize that Y/N starts quivering.

Y/N: why? why something like this happens to Tooru? he's.... Tooru is very kind and cared about everyone around him... (sobs)

Oikawa was about to tell Ushijima to stroke Y/N's hair when he sees Ushijima already reaches out his hand to her head. Oikawa's eyes widened when he sees how Ushijima gently strokes Y/N's hair and Y/N looks up at him, wiping her tears away while staring at the man she could see, which is not him.

Ushijima's eyes caught Oikawa's face that looks like in pain, and then he realizes that he's still stroking Y/N's hair. He didn't even realize when he did it in the first place, the moment he saw her tears, his hand moves on its own. Ushijima abruptly pulls his hand back and leaves the room.

Ushijima: I'll... get us some tea...

Y/N: uh... yes...

Y/N is sitting alone at least that what she thinks. She raises her hand and puts it on her head, her heart skips a beat when Ushijima strokes her head. During these three months, Y/N and Ushijima meet frequently and Y/N could see how good of a man Ushijima is. And now, whenever she's around him her heart would race.

Oikawa stares at Y/N as the girl's face turns red while placing her hand on her head. If his heart is still beating it would have stopped at the sight of his woman flustered by another man's touch. But he shouldn't be mad because Ushijima is just trying to comfort her. But, he can't help but jealous, jealous because Ushijima can talk with y/N, touch Y/N, and protect Y/N.

Ushijima places the pot on the stove and then looks at his hand that strokes Y/N's hair earlier. Her face when she looks up at him, how those big round eyes stare into his own makes his chest filled with unknown feeling.

They're all conflicted....

With a surge of feelings...

Inside their heart....
