As the two remained seated on the hill, after an estimated hour, Tendou and (Y/n) got up and decided to roam the streets of the new town in which they were situated. Walking hand-in-hand, Tendou denoted all of the street vendors he had already visited, pointing out all of the good stalls he had previously been to.

As he held the girl by the hand, he refused to let go of her in fear of her getting lost amongst the crowd. When Tendou found a sufficient stall, he ordered the food before forgetting it was not him who was going to pay as a result of getting his wallet taken away that morning. Smirking slightly, (Y/n) handed the vendor her money and paid for the sweet treats Tendou had gotten them.

Holding both of their newly bought ice creams, they seated themselves on a swing set located in one of the parks. When (Y/n) pointed out that it was fabricated for the use of children, Tendou brushed it, saying he was just a younger version of a man child.

As the two of them sat in silence, Tendou smushed his ice cream against (Y/n)'s, with her flavour now on his, she looked at him confused, wondering what the reason behind the taller male's action was.

"I wanted to get a taste of yours~" he explained.

With her lips parted, she formed an "o" shape with them.

"That makes more sense," (Y/n) said, looking back down at her own treat.

Looking at her, he followed her gaze to see that his own flavour was now on her cone.

"Hey, look~ It's fair now, we get to taste each other's," he stated, smiling at the girl as he pointed it out for her to see.

Lifting it up, she understood what Tendou had been talking about. Deciding to taste it, she stuck her tongue out and licked it off.

Staring at her as she did so, Tendou's face flushed a red hue. The way his mind drifted towards all of the secret manga he would read made him question if he should have really let that be the first thing on his mind. Brushing all of his thoughts aside, he forcefully whipped his head around, not allowing (Y/n) the privilege to see his crimson face.

To her, (Y/n) thought Tendou had probably not slept well. All of his actions were questionable towards the point of not knowing what he truly intended when he made them. His actions that day were either misinterpreted by her or just outright confusing, so she decided to just ignore them.

When the two of them finished their food, they got up and explored the area a little more. As they ventured from place to place, they passed numerous places worth sightseeing; it included an old temple where the town's people would pray, a pond filled with koi fish, and a forest composed of mostly sakura trees.

As time passed, the sun had eventually begun to set, leaving the two of them to bask within the hues of oranges and pinks. With the golden sun descending, Tendou and (Y/n) decided to get back onto the subway before it would ultimately be filled with people, as it would usually be more full during late hours.

Getting onto the subway train, they secured two seats. Thankfully their station was one of the farthest from most of the ones with more populated areas so it was not too difficult to find a place to sit. However, when more people began piling in, the denser the train had become, leaving the two teenagers little to no space to get up and do anything.

Slowly drifting into a short slumber, (Y/n) fell asleep, leaning her head on the shoulder of the redhead. When he had felt this, he rested his own head on the top of her's, taking her hand in his. Although she would not know he was doing this, he gently caressed her palm and interlocked their hands for the rest of the ride.

When they reached their stop, Tendou did not have the guts to wake up the sleeping girl, so instead, he carried her out of the subway station and began making his way towards (Y/n)'s apartment. With (Y/n)'s head resting on the back of his shoulder, he could hear the steadiness of her breath. Without reason, it reassured Tendou of something, he did not know what it was but it made him feel at peace knowing she was there with him, even if she was unconscious.

Reaching (Y/n)'s door, he had completely forgotten (Y/n) kept her key in her pocket, so if he did not want to wake her up, he would need to reach into it himself. With one hand leaving the bottom of her thigh, he searched her front pocket until he felt the small metal object. Opening the door, he removed both his and her shoes, remembering it was something requested on his first arrival to her living space.

Gently placing her on her bed, he turned off the lights to her bedroom and closed her door, doing it as silently as he could as to not wanting to wake her up. Sighing, he was about to turn off the kitchen lights until he saw something that caught his attention rather suddenly. It was the stick of the popsicle Tendou had given to (Y/n) on the day of their first meeting, or, at least he thought it was.

Chuckling to himself, he averted his gaze from the popsicle stick and decided to look around. Though he knew it was an invasion of privacy, (Y/n) had already invited him in once so it would not necessarily be bad if he was to just survey the area, this time more intricately than the last.

Something that he had spotted was that (Y/n) had no pictures of herself, family, or friends. This either meant that she did not like taking pictures or she did not want to be reminded of bad memories; the latter made more sense to him.

When he finished, he turned off the lights and made his way towards the door and exited.

"Sleep well, (Y/n)-chan."
